EXTREME
ADJECTIVES
Competencia 2: Lee diversos tipos de textos en inglés como lengua extranjera.

Extreme adjectives are words that give extra emphasis to the subject they describe: For example, "funny" is a
normal adjective expressing that something makes us laugh, but "hilarious" is an extreme adjective which
shows that something makes us laugh a lot. In other words, "hilarious" means "very funny".

SOLO SAILOR

Mike Perham didn’t have much time to celebrate his 17th birthday. Not because he had exams or was
working, but because he was in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Mike has just become the youngest person to sail around the world solo. His amazing journey took him nine
months and he sailed over 30,000 miles on his 50ft yacht, called totallymoney.com.

Mike had a lot of adventures on his trip. Sailing conditions in the Indian Ocean were wonderful, but he had to
sail through enormous 50ft waves in the South Pacific after leaving New Zealand. He didn’t have many
problems with his boat. However, he had to stop in the Canary Islands, Portugal and Cape Town to repair his
auto-pilot, the machine that sailed the boat while Mike slept. Fortunately, he didn’t meet any whales or
sharks!

Mike returned home to the UK exhausted, but ecstatic to be a world record holder. What was the first thing
he wanted? Some steak and chips! Mike didn’t have any fresh food on the boat, so he didn’t eat a lot of fruit
or vegetables while he was sailing.

What an amazing and terrifying journey!

b. What world record did Mike set? Record in being the youngest person to sail alone

c. How big were the waves in the South Pacific? Waves the size of fifty feet.
d. Why did Mike stop in the Canary Islands? To repair your autopilot.
