COROANA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Read the article and complete the chart.
text:Last summer Annabelle Jones and Claire Hippert, two 17-year-old English schoolgirls, decided to climb the Matterhorn, the famous snow-covered mountain in Switzerland. The Matterhorn is popular with mountain climbers because it is so difficult to climb.

The girls first got the idea for a climbing expedition a few years ago, when a well-known disabled climber, Norman Croucher, gave a talk at their school. Norman lost both his legs in a train accident, but he has climbed some of the world’s highest mountains on his artificial legs. “he inspired us”, said Claire.

Then the girls met a well-known mountaineer called Turbo Thomas and he became t5heir trainer. For the next two years he took them climbing in the Swiss Alps during the summer holidays and they trained very hard. “It wasn’t easy”, said Annabelle. “The weather was often a problem. Sometimes it was freezing cold and we didn’t want to get out of bed, but Turbo dragged us to the foot of the mountain and made us climb.” The girls kept going and finally they were ready to try the Matterhorn. They made a date for the last week of August and travelled to Zermatt. They started to climb but unfortunately the weather beat them. “ It rained every day so it was impossible to climb very far”, said Claire.

Are they disappointed? “Definitely not”, said Annabelle. “I know we didn’t get to the top, but we’ll be back next summer to try again! Climbing is our life.”
