3Rd conDitionAL


Story:

  • a young Spanish couple, Victor and Josefa, had just got married. they were from two of the richest families in Spain. they wanted to spend part of their honeymoon travelling to New York on by the Titanic. But Victor's mother didn't want them to go, because she had had a premonition that the Titanic was going to sink. Victor prepared many postcards, already written, and asked his servant to send one postcard every day to his mother a postcard to his mother on each day.

    When the Titanic hit the iceberg, Josefa was in the bed and Victor was getting ready for bed. he told Josefa to get dressed. they both went got on the deck. Josefa got into on a lifeboat. Victor stayed on the ship.

    When the Titanic sank, Josefa and the other people in the lifeboat heard the terrible cries of people in the water. Josefa shouted her husband's name Victor again and again.

    Josefa arrived New York safely. at first, Victor's mother refused to believe that his son was dead. 'I've just had a postcard from him got his postcard from Paris today.' she said. 


vocabulary:

  • premonition (a feeling that something unpleasant is going to happen)
    his mum had a premonition.


make questions:

  • what would Victor have done if he'd known the Titanic was going to sink?
  • would Victor's mum have faced jer son's death more easily, if Victor hadn't asked his friend to send letters for him?
