Reading Comprehension
Getting in the mood
Mood does not only refer to the emotions you experience in your everyday life. It can also refer to the way an
author makes you feel as a reader or what a movie director can do for a viewer. In the case of the written word,
it is the general rhythm
ritmo
and atmosphere created by the author’s words. When we are reading, the mood is the
feeling the reader gets from processing words and creating images in the mind. Some texts make you feel
happy or depressed; others get you excited, anxious or tense; some might make you get upset or disgusted
maybe even scared or angry. Isn’t it amazing that just words can help your mind generate all these marvelous
emotions?

Answer the following questions according to the text. What words or expressions from the text mean:

1. How can a written text make a reader feel? Anxious

Ansioso - ______________________________________
_____________________________________________________
happy, depressed, excited, anxious, tense, upset, disgusted, scared or angry.

2. Think of the last book you read. What book was it?
How did it make you feel? Scared
Asustado - ____________________________________

home. Lukas was happy and excited, he ran and jumped, and peed everywhere. He also barked at

Reading Comprehension
“Spring Cleaning”
Last week was really busy at home. Mom and dad decided it was time for Spring cleaning, so they asked all of
us (my two brothers and me) to help them with some chores. It was a heavy-duty job but it was actually a lot of
fun. I helped mom clean out the garage. She was full of energy! My dad did the dishes and my brothers washed
the whole house. After lunch, we all sat outdoors and enjoyed some delicious, cool lemonade that mom made
for us. In the afternoon, we all went up to the attic. We were looking at boxes full of stuff and old family photos.
My mom painted the walls and my dad fixed the roof. Finally, we watered the garden. It all ended in a water
battle. That was nice. After a long day’s work everyone was exhausted so dad thought it was a good idea to go
for an ice cream. On our way back home, we stopped at our favorite restaurant and had dinner. We were glad
we didn’t have to do any more dishes.

Mark True (T) or False (F).

1. Mom was feeling a little sick last week. ( )
2. The job was light and easy. ( )
3. After all the work the family was very tired. ( )
