Read the email. Then mark each statement true (T) or false (F).

Hi, Emma—
I only have time for a quick email to tell you about my trip to Chicago. We had a great time.
We did some sightseeing and had a fantastic meal in an Italian restaurant near the water. But
you know how much I hate classical music? Well, we ended up going to a concert. I’m sorry I
don’t remember the composer’s name. Anyway, about halfway through I realized that I was
enjoying myself. The music was relaxing, and the atmosphere in the concert hall was so
peaceful. I’ve changed my mind about classical music. Can I borrow some of your CDs next
time we get together?
See you soon,
Sally
