Reading
1 Read the text. Then answer the question.

Sara’s weekly book post …

I’m reading a book called Gabriel and Zoe. It’s a romance. It’s funny, but sometimes
it’s serious, too.
Gabriel and Zoe are American teenagers. Gabriel isn’t good-looking and his family
are poor. His life at home is unhappy and at school he’s having a bad time, too.
The other students bully him every day. But Gabriel is strong and intelligent. He’s my
favourite character.
Zoe is happy at home, but she is shy and hasn’t
got many friends. She loves Gabriel because he’s
different. The plot is interesting because things aren’t
easy for Gabriel or Zoe. And the book has got an
exciting ending.
I like this book because it’s about teenage
relationships. Sometimes the story is sad, but it’s
also exciting. What book are you reading at the
moment?
