TASK 1.

 Read some information about what three people like reading.

 For questions 1 – 7, choose the person A, B or C.
 There is one example at the beginning.

A. Luis
I like to read in bed before I turn my light off. I don’t like science
fiction or comics. I’m really lucky because my parents buy me a lot
of books. My friends enjoy borrowing them. One book I enjoyed is
called “The Lake” by Tom Davis. It’s about a girl who lived a
hundred years ago and worked at a hotel. One day, a
guest is found in the deep, blue lake. Lena thinks she knows who killed her.

B. Joanna
I never buy books; I always go to my local library. I like stories
about modern life where boys meet girls, not about what happened
years ago. A book I enjoyed is called “The Dream“ by Dorrie
Williams. Lois has left school and is now a famous pop singer. Lois
meets Mike, a good - looking Australian guitar player in a band. Her
friends don’t like him but she does. Does she take her friends’ advice or does she go out with
Mike? Read
it and find out!
C. Sam
I don’t often buy books, I prefer to get comics, often ones that make
me laugh, not stupid love stories which send me to sleep. Anyway,
I read a good book called “Will” by Gary Hahn. It’s about a boy
who wakes up in someone else’s bedroom and has different face
and body. He remembers playing great, new
computer games with his friend Jack and then going home. This is an awesome story because
it’s really
different.

TASK 3

I never buy books; I always borrow a book from a friend, I don't like science fiction or
comics. I have no preference for a particular type of book; I usually read self-improvement
books, love stories or suspense stories among others. One book I enjoyed is called “a life
without limits” by Nick Vujicic. This is a man who was born without limbs. But those
circumstances have not limited him. He is dedicated to traveling the world to motivate
millions of people to overcome adversity. He is a true example of life. My brother
recommended this book to me. is very good
