II. Read the text, then do the tasks.

LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles, California is the most exciting city in the USA. It’s got Hollywood, Disneyland, fantastic
beaches and the LA Dodgers baseball team.
But LA wasn’t always exciting. In 1900, it was smaller and quieter, and Hollywood was a small village.
Then film studios arrived, and the village of Hollywood changed. Today it is part of LA, and the Hollywood
Walk of Fame is the most famous place in the city. It’s got more than 2,000 stars on it.
It’s always sunny in LA and there are lots of different attractions. You can go shopping on Sunset
Boulevard (It’s too expensive for me!), or you can surf on Venice Beach. There are theatres, museums, the
biggest theme parks in the USA and the noisiest sports stadiums. LA is the best city in the world!
a. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
1. LA is the world’s most exciting city.
