Reading

Read the following text and answer the true/false 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!

1. Jake's school doesn't exist anymore.
    True
    False

2. They have improved the baseball stadium.
    True
    False

3. Jake likes the new-look baseball stadium.
    True
    False

4. It's only possible to reach the downtown area on foot.
    True
    False

5. The buildings in the centre of the town look European.
    True
    False

6. Jake's street hasn't changed much.
    True
    False

7. He is sad about the park being ruined.
    True
    False

8. Jake is going to eat Italian food tonight.
    True
    False


writing- a short letter in English from a refugee who has come to Sweden from Syria about their first impressions of the new country.

Please share your document with me!

Finally....

How many of today's aims/goals/objectives did we complete?

We are family!

We are getting towards the end of our first theme- the family.

There will not be a test on this material until week 45- the Wednesday lesson.

However, next Monday I will do a progress report just to make sure that everyone is on track.

There is no revision needed for the progress report.

It will consist of:-

Today we will do three things.
