Reading
1. Read the following passage and decide whether each of the statements 1 -5 is TRUE or
FALSE. (5 points)

When I started at this school, my first impressions weren’t very good. I didn’t know anyone, so I felt
worried and shy. I thought my classmates were very quiet, and the school was big and unfriendly. But
after a few weeks I felt much better. I was more relaxed, and I started to make new friends.
Now I really enjoy going to school. I see my friends here every day, and I like most of my classes. This
year I’m studying ten subjects. My favorite subject is geography. At the moment we’re doing a project
about the environment. It’s about the way the world’s temperature is increasing, and its effect on the
weather. I’m definitely interested in studying geography at university.
I also go to an after-school club at school. The after-school club is a place where you do other activities,
like sports or creative things. I go there twice a week. At the moment we’re learning to edit digital
photographs on the computer. I think that it’s really exciting.
Most of my teachers here are nice. The best teacher is Mrs. Hammond, my geography teacher. At first,
I didn’t like Mrs. Hammond because I thought she was too strict. But in fact she’s very friendly. The
only teacher I don’t like is Mr. Brown. He’s really moody and he gives us too much homework.
