News from Weatherfield and Emmerdale

Introduction

There are big problems in Weatherfield and Emmerdale. Police are looking for a killer and a person who starts fires. One young person is very sick.

Main Body

Police are looking for the person who killed Theo Silverton. They think Summer Spellman did it. They found a diary and a photo. Summer tried to go to the USA to hide, but she says she is innocent. Sam Blakeman is very sick in his mind. He sees things that are not real. This is because a bad person hurt him in the past. His father, Nick, put a tracker on him. This makes Sam feel worse. In Emmerdale, Cain Dingle and Robert Sugden had a fight. Now they are okay. But someone is starting fires in the village. Aaron Dingle thinks a man named Kammy Hadiq is the arsonist because Kammy is strange.

Conclusion

The police still need to find the killer and the person who starts fires.

πŸ” The 'Who' and 'What' Connection

Look at how we describe people in this story. To reach A2, you need to connect a person to an action using the word 'who'.

The Pattern: Person β†’\rightarrow who β†’\rightarrow Action

Examples from the text:

  • ...a killer β†’\rightarrow who β†’\rightarrow starts fires.
  • ...the person β†’\rightarrow who β†’\rightarrow killed Theo.

Why this helps you: Instead of making two short, baby sentences (e.g., "There is a man. He starts fires."), you can make one adult sentence: "There is a man who starts fires."


πŸ› οΈ Word Bank: Describing Feelings

Notice these simple adjectives used to describe mental states:

  • Sick β†’\rightarrow Not healthy.
  • Innocent β†’\rightarrow Did not do the crime.
  • Strange β†’\rightarrow Not normal.

Quick Tip: Use these after the word 'is' or 'feel'.

  • Sam is sick.
  • Summer is innocent.
  • Kammy is strange.
