Reading Comprehension
Geraldine is 19. She's from Stuttgart. She arrived in London only yesterday -
essentially to study music (she plays the violin} and photography. She came to
London because she is determined to start her independent adult life far from
home. She wants to prove to herself that she can manage on her own.
She is sitting in a small cafe now, a cup of hot tea in front of her. Geraldine
lights a cigarette and spreads The Guardian over the table
She's staying with a friend of hers, but the sooner she finds a room or a flat to
rent - the better. She has some savings, but she knows she must be economical.
Otherwise £1000 she's got won't last long. So, first she’s got to find a place to stay
at and then some job to keep her going
Let's see what we've got here:
