 Reading. ( 4 points )

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 pedestrianized the center 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 center and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home. Which is where I am
going tonight!

1. Jake's school doesn't exist anymore True False

2. They have improved the baseball stadium True False

3. Jake likes cutting down the trees. True False

4. no restaurant is added to his town. True False
