Let me share you one of the real strategies for success to help you advance your English.

I’ll be posting ROMEO AND JULIET short story series here at Cafetalk Tutor's Column. You can learn vocabulary and expressions after reading a short caption from this classic story.  I wish to do this on a weekly basis or if I have the luxury of time. Well, will see.

ROMEO AND JULIET Caption 001: 

The two chief families in Verona were the rich Capulets and the Montagues. There had been an old quarrel between these families, which was grown to such a height, and so deadly was the enmity between them, that it extended to the remotest kindred, to the followers and retainers of both sides, in so much that a servant of the house of Montague could not meet a servant of the house of Capulet, nor a Capulet encounter with a Montague by chance, but fierce words and sometimes bloodshed ensued; and frequent were the brawls from such accidental meetings, which disturbed the happy quiet of Verona's streets.

VOCABULARY:

enmity- Deep-seated, often mutual hatred.

remotest kindred:

remotest- Distantly related or connected; Located far away; distant in space.

kindred-  A group of related persons, as a clan or tribe.

Ensued- To take place afterward or as a result.
