I use our local news e.g. www.stuff.co.nz- I �m sure you would have a similar site. Try typing in the name of your local newspaper. They say that truth is often stranger than fiction - you �ll be amazed at what you can find! Another site is http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/ . I hope that helps. :-)) |

I �ve just uploaded a reading comprehension that I use as an exam for my 15-year-old students. It �s about �the facebook murder � in Holland. The article is a very recent one (August 24 2012) and its content is a bit shocking for teenagers. I don �t know whether you have heard about it, but it �s about a young couple (teenagers) who conspired to kill a 15-year-old former friend because she had made nasty comments about the girl on facebook. The couple hired another teenager to kill her and they paid him 16� and promised to pay his drinks when he went out...  The only problem is that you will have to wait till tomorrow since it won �t show until then... 
I forgot to mention that it is an authentic reading as I took it from �The Daily Mail online�... I just made my own questions to it (true/false, vocabulary and multiple choice... so easy to correct  ) |
