Hello, and welcome to Extensive Reading. Today, we're going to listen and read along to The 00:00:03
Picture of Dorian Gray, written by Oscar Wilde. Many years ago, there lived a young man named 00:00:09
Dorian Gray. He was a handsome and pleasant young man, and he was always very kind to people. 00:00:17
Dorian Gray loved art and beautiful things, and he wanted a picture of himself. So, one day, 00:00:24
he visited a friend of his called Basil Hallward. Basil was a talented artist, and Dorian asked him 00:00:31
to paint his portrait. Basil agreed, and every day, Dorian went to his art studio and sat while 00:00:39
Basil painted him. One day, when Dorian was at the studio, he met one of Basil's friends. 00:00:46
The friend's name was Henry Wotton. While Basil painted, Henry talked to Dorian. He told him about 00:00:53
beauty and youth. He said that these qualities were the most important things in the world. 00:01:00
He said that they were more important than kindness, intelligence, gentleness, and patience. 00:01:06
Dorian listened very carefully, and soon he started to believe that this was true. 00:01:13
At last, the portrait was finished. It was a wonderful painting and one of Basil's best 00:01:21
works of art. Dorian stared at the picture for a long time. At first, he felt very happy. He saw a 00:01:26
handsome young man with a kind and intelligent face. But after a while, Dorian started to feel 00:01:33
sad. He remembered Henry's words and knew that one day, he wouldn't be handsome and he wouldn't 00:01:41
be young. One day, he would be old and gray. I wish, said Dorian suddenly. I wish that I could 00:01:48
always stay young and that the picture would get old. Henry laughed when he heard this, but Basil 00:01:57
was very angry. Don't talk like that, said Basil. That's a terrible thing to say. Many things are 00:02:02
more important than youth and beauty. Dorian didn't believe Basil. He just felt sad because 00:02:08
he was going to be old one day. Dorian took his portrait home, but now life was different. 00:02:14
He didn't see Basil for a long time. He met Henry and his friends instead. They talked and went to 00:02:22
theaters and to restaurants. Slowly, Dorian started to change. He became hard and cruel. 00:02:32
He didn't think about other people's feelings. He only thought about himself. One day, he looked at 00:02:42
his portrait and thought, there was something different about it. What was it? He looked more 00:02:49
closely. The face had changed. The mouth looked unkind. It was strange. Dorian picked up a mirror 00:02:56
and looked at his own face. Then he looked back at the portrait. It was true. The portrait was 00:03:03
different. Suddenly, Dorian remembered that he had wished to stay young while the picture grew old. 00:03:09
It seemed impossible, but his wish had come true. Dorian covered the picture. He didn't want to 00:03:16
think about this terrible thing. One day, Basil visited him at home. They talked for a while and 00:03:24
then Basil said, I want to borrow your portrait. I want to put it in an exhibition in an art gallery. 00:03:31
I'm sorry, Basil, Dorian said quickly and quietly, but I can't give it to you. Basil looked at him 00:03:37
strangely. You've changed, Dorian. You used to be a kind man. Now you are cold and selfish. 00:03:44
When Basil had gone, Dorian took the portrait and put it in a small room. He locked the door 00:03:54
and put the key in his pocket. No one can ever see this portrait, he said to himself. 00:04:00
And so the years passed and Dorian still looked young and handsome. He enjoyed his life, 00:04:09
but he didn't care about anyone but himself. Behind the locked door of the little room, 00:04:15
the picture of Dorian Gray grew older and uglier. The face showed the truth about Dorian's bad life. 00:04:20
Sometimes, Dorian went and looked at the picture, and he thought how terrible he had become. 00:04:29
He hated the picture, and he hated his life. At last, Dorian decided to be good again. 00:04:35
he thought that if he was good the picture would change back again but it was too late for Dorian 00:04:42
Gray to change he died and when he died he became old and ugly and his portrait suddenly changed 00:04:53
back to look as handsome and young as it was at the beginning thank you for joining us as we read 00:05:04
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. We hope you enjoyed this spooky story about Dorian, 00:05:14
Basil, and Henry. Until next time! 00:05:21
