ENGLISH TEST – THIRD YEAR:
UNIT 7
1) READING COMPREHENSION. Read about Jake returning to his hometown after being abroad
for ten years. Then answer true or false to the questions.
I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.
So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond on
the right as you left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall
there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.
There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely.
They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really
great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianised the centre
and you can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and some benches
have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.
My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street
along. There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity. The
library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.
Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A
Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Mexican restaurant has
opened near my home. Which is where I am going tonight!
