6. READ THE BLOG POST FROM A REPORTER NEAR A POSSIBLE VOLCANIC ERUPTION.
WoRLD bLoG
I am sitting near Mount Vesuvius, a famous active volcano in Italy. When Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, it
destroyed the Roman city, Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944, but experts and locals are worried
that it could happen again soon!

I am speaking to Dr. Rosalia Dell’Aquila, an expert in volcanoes, and to Donna Esmeralda, who can remember
the last time that Mount Vesuvius erupted
.
Donna Esmeralda explained to me why she is so worried. She said “We are seeing many things we saw last
time. My neighbour’s cows aren’t giving milk and her bees aren’t coming back. My dog isn’t happy – she isn’t
sleeping at night. The same thing happened in 1944.”

Dr. Dell’Aquila says ‘Now we are good at knowing when a volcano can erupt. Donna Esmeralda’s comments
are very interesting. Scientific tests are also telling us about a possible eruption. We’re testing things like CO2
and it is high. But the magma inside the volcano isn’t rising and we aren’t seeing any deformation of the land.”

Choose the correct option.

a. Vesuvius… c. Donna Esmeralda owns…
1. last erupted in AD 79. 1. cows.
2. last erupted in 1944. 2. bees.
3. is erupting right now!! 3. a dog.

b. Donna Esmeralda is… d. Dr. Rosalia has noticed…

1. a scientist. 1. high CO2 levels.
2. a farmer. 2. magma rising.
3. a local. 3. the land deforming.

Read the sentences.

▪ She isn’t sleeping. ▪ We aren’t sleeping. ▪ I’m not sitting. ▪ You aren’t practising.

a. The sentences are all negative.

b. The word not (n’t) goes before the main verb.
c. When speaking, people usually use contractions.

7. REWRITE THESE SENTENCES IN THE NEGATIVE. USE CONTRACTIONS.

a. The volcano is erupting. ____________________________________________________

b. I am speaking to you. ______________________________________________________
c. You’re chatting to your friends. _______________________________________________
d. The cows are sleeping. _____________________________________________________
e. My dog is sleeping under the table. ____________________________________________
f. They are noticing the important signs. __________________________________________

8. READ THE BLOG POST FROM A BLOGGER WHO IS RAISING MONEY FOR A SPECIAL CAUSE.

My “consuMe nothing” day.

I am raising money for the people affected by the earthquake in the Himalayas. Because these people have
nothing, I am trying to consume nothing today. I’m not eating, I’m only drinking water. I’m not shopping. I’m not
travelling anywhere by car, I’m walking.
I’m giving all the money I save to charity and I am asking people to give the same amount.

a. What special cause or region you are raising money for.

b. How you are raising money.
c. What you are doing.
