The Witch of Wall Street

Hetty Robinson learnt all about money when she was very young. As a child, she read the financial pages of the newspaper to her wealthy father. Her father died when Hetty was 30 years old and she inherited $1 million. When she herself died in 1916, she left a fortune of almost $100 million to her two children. Hetty made her money on the New York stock exchange. She was a financial genius. She made money so easily that people called her the Witch of Wall Street. But although she was one of the richest women in the world, she was very mean. She counted every cent and she spent as little as possible. She didn’t own a house, because she didn’t want to pay property taxes. So she and her children lived in cheap hotels.

4

She spent almost nothing on clothes, and wore the same long black dress every day. She washed it herself, but to save soap she only washed the bottom of the dress, where it touched the ground. Other people had their own offices, but Hetty used a desk in the bank where she kept her money, because it didn’t cost anything. She sat in the bank and ate her sandwiches while she bought and sold stocks and shares. If the bank complained, she just moved all her money to another bank. Hetty’s family paid the price for her meanness. When she was 33 she married a millionaire, Edward Green and they had two children. Green, however, lost all his money, so Hetty left him. When her son, Ned, injured his knee Hetty didn’t want to pay for a doctor, so she took him to a free hospital for poor people. Unfortunately the doctor knew that Hetty was rich and he asked for money. Hetty refused and took the boy away. His leg didn’t get better and two years later doctors removed it. But eventually Ned got his revenge. At the age of 81 Hetty had an argument with a shop assistant about the price of a bottle of milk. She became so angry that she had a stroke and died. So Hetty’s meanness finally killed her. Ned inherited half his mother’s fortune, and he spent it all on parties, holidays and expensive jewellery. He even bought a chamber pot covered with diamonds!

helped to make the meal a success. We had put the turkey in the oven earlier that day so the house

was starting to smell like roast turkey. The grandchildren had finished setting the table for Thanksgiving

dinner. My aunt had made two pies for dessert, a pumpkin pie and an apple pie. My brother and I had

peeled the carrots and the potatoes. We’d just turned on the stove to start cooking the vegetables

when the power went out! The oven stopped working! We couldn’t cook the vegetables! The turkey

wouldn’t finish cooking! We waited. We talked. We went for a walk.

Passive Voice

* BE (is, was, has been, etc.) + A PAST PARTICIPLE. *We use the passive when the person or thing doing the action isn’t important or isn’t known or is understood. The passive is very common in English, especially in news reports, signs, scientific and technical reports. In these contexts we´re more interested in the things that happen rather than what/who makes them happen. In a passive construction we can mention the person or thing that does the action (the agent) after the word by.

*How to form a passive sentence when an active sentence is given:

object of the active sentence becomes subject in the passive sentence subject of the active sentence becomes object in the passive sentence" (or is left out)

*We can only form a passive sentence from an active sentence when there is an object in the active sentence.

1. The newspaper was delivered/is delivered everyday .
