English reading practice - Game of Thrones premier (B1/B2 intermediate level English)

Updated: Apr 29, 2023

The first episode of Game of Thrones was first aired on TV on April 17, 2011. The show was very exciting and many people were waiting for it. The show introduced viewers to a fictional place called Westeros created by George R. R. Martin. It's a place where different groups of people want to be in charge. They all want to sit on a chair called the Iron Throne.

The show is very detailed and it makes you feel like you are really in Westeros. You can see how the different groups live and their beliefs. You can also see how families are related to each other and how they are different.


One of the best things about Game of Thrones is the characters. They are not perfect and they have different reasons for doing things. They might want to be powerful, help their family, or just do what they think is right. The show also has a lot of strong female characters.


The first episode was well received by viewers and critics. People said the show had good acting, looked beautiful and the show was discussed a lot on social media.

Game of Thrones was very popular and many people loved it, watching each week. The show is now over, but another show based in the same place called "House of the Dragon" recently aired. There might be other shows made about the place in the future too.
