Title: The Lost City Beneath the Ocean

Level: Advanced (C1)

#Story :

Marine archaeologist Elara discovers tablets hinting at the fabled lost city of Aqualis, leading her to embark on an expedition funded by the enigmatic billionaire Adrian Frost. With a crew and cutting-edge technology, Elara and her team descend to the depths, where they uncover a vast underwater city with eerie murals and strange energy emanating from an obelisk in the city’s main square. As they venture closer, an ancient, monstrous creature appears, seemingly guarding the city’s secrets. Barely escaping, the team returns to the surface, but Adrian insists they revisit the site, driven by a desire for the city’s untold power. Haunted by the guardian and torn by her connection to Aqualis, Elara prepares for another descent, wondering if they are ready for what lies beneath.

#Vocabulary :

• Obelisk – a tall, four-sided monument that tapers to a point, often used as a landmark.
• Glyph – a symbol or character with special meaning, often ancient.
• Submersible – a small underwater vehicle designed for deep-sea exploration.
• Harboring – keeping or holding onto something, often secretly.
• Guardian – a protector, often of a sacred place or item.

#Grammar Focus:

• Present Perfect Tense
• Used to indicate actions or states that began in the past and have relevance to the present. Example: “Elara has uncovered new evidence suggesting the city’s existence.”
• Passive Voice
• Emphasizes the action rather than who or what is performing it. Example: “The obelisk was seen glowing, warning them of the hidden power.”
• Relative Clauses
• Provides extra information about a noun in the sentence. Example: “The creature, which emerged from the shadows of Aqualis, seemed to be its protector.”
