Reading Task.

Match the headlines with the texts.

Slytherin Ravenclaw Gryffindor Hufflepuff

Its founder instructed the Sorting Hat to pick students who had a few particular characteristics he most
valued. Those characteristics include: cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition. Many students of this
house tend to clique together, often acquiring leaders. The emblematic animal of the house is a snake
and its colours are green and silver. This House corresponds with the element of water due to serpents
being commonly associated with the sea and lochs in western European mythology, as well as serpents
being physically fluid and flexible animals.

Members of this House are characterised by their wit, learning, and wisdom. Many of them tend to be
academically motivated and talented students. The emblematic animal symbol is an eagle, and blue and
bronze are its colours. This House corresponds to the element of air, and it is for that reason that the
House colours were chosen; blue and bronze represent the sky and eagle feathers respectively, both
having much to do with air.
Reading Task.

Match the headlines with the texts.

Slytherin Ravenclaw Gryffindor Hufflepuff

This House is the most inclusive among the four Houses; valuing hard work, dedication, patience,
loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members. The emblematic animal is a
badger, and yellow and black are its colours. The House corresponds to the element of earth, and it is for
that reason that the House colours were chosen: yellow represented wheat, while black was emblematic
of soil. Students sorted into this House often demonstrate exceptional abilities in Herbology, owing to
their correspondence to earth.

Its founder instructed the Sorting Hat to choose students possessing characteristics he most valued,
such as courage, chivalry, and determination, to be sorted into this House. The emblematic animal is a
lion, and its colours are scarlet and gold. This House corresponds roughly to the element of fire, and it
is for this reason that the colours scarlet and gold were chosen to represent the house.
