READING . Read this text and do Task A and B 5 x 0.2= 1 mark

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! I can’t believe I’m back…

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.

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.

Not far from the school there is a baseball stadium, 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.

Task A: Number the paragraphs in the correct order

A 4

Task B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.

4 The narrator returned home when he was 10 years old. T F
