ESL Reading Comprehension + Writing Activity Worksheets - BTS - KPop
BTS's rise is traced from their 2013 debut under a small company through their genre evolution, chart-topping singles such as "Dynamite," and their cultural influence in South Korea and worldwide, including quotes from music critics and fans. Twenty-three questions follow, including two vocabulary tasks, ranging from factual recall -- the year BTS formed, the company behind them -- to four true/false items that require students to argue their answer using evidence from the text. Two vocabulary tasks ask students to explain the verb "to stand out" in their own words and supply three synonyms for "genuine." Three extended writing prompts close the set: a persuasive opinion essay about BTS's music, a comparison essay contrasting another genuine music group with BTS, and an imaginative diary entry about spending a day with the band.
