F Read the email. Circle True or False for each statement.

From: Andrew Bennett <and.bennett@mymail.org>

To: Elin Hansen <elin953Hansen@blinknet.com>
Subject: Your American cousin
Hi Elin,
Thanks for your email. It’s great to hear from you again!
Thanks for telling me about yourself. Your job sounds really interesting. You are the first person I know in my
family that is an architect! What kind of buildings do you design?
I have also graduated and am looking for a job in a bank. In my free time, I also like to get together with friends,
but I don’t like shopping. You say you like hiking – where can you do this in Norway?
Fargo is on the Red River in North Dakota. It’s a big town, with a population of over 120,000. There is lots to see
and do: for example, you can visit the zoo or the art gallery. You can also visit the Hjemkomst Center, where
you can see a replica of a Viking Ship. This was built by Robert Asp because he wanted to sail a ship to Norway,
where his family originally came from. So we are not alone in having family in Norway!
I have an older brother, Karl, who is 29 and married with two small children. I also have a younger sister, Katie,
who is 21. She is studying law in Fargo and wants to be a family lawyer when she graduates. In my free time, I like
to meet my friends and go ice skating. In the winter, we sometimes go cross-country skiing. I also play soccer on
my neighborhood team, and my family often comes to see me play.
Thanks for the picture of the old house in the Red River Valley. It would be great to visit it someday. Maybe we
can meet next year and go together? You’re more than welcome to come and stay with my family in Fargo.
Write soon,
Andrew
