READING: Read this text and do Task A and B 5 x 0.2= 1 mark

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things
have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond on the right as you
left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post
office has also been built just across from my old school.

There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely.
They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really
great. The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianised the
centre and you can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and some
benches have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.

My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street
along. There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity. The
library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A
Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Mexican restaurant has
opened near my home. That is where I am going tonight!

TASK A : Match the headings to the paragraphs

TASK B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.
