• Read the following text.
• Answer the multiple-choice questions and choose the correct answer: A, B, or C.
Hi Emily
I’m really sorry but don’t have time to visit you so I’m writing this email instead. Last night I
went to the cinema and saw a great film. You can also read the book – and I heard on the radio
that it’s a true story. It’s about a family with three children, two boys and a girl, who lived in a
village in India. The children went to school there and had lots of friends.
When the children grew up, they started thinking about moving abroad. The sister went to France
to become a teacher. The older brother went to America to open a restaurant, only the younger
brother stayed in their home country and worked on his father’s farm. He worked really hard but
he was happy. When they grew up, they all got married and had lots of children. The film shows
us the good and sad times the three families had and how the brothers and sister didn’t see each
other for ages. Their children, who were cousins never met when they were little. Many years
later, when the sister became a grandmother, she decided to see her brothers again and meet their
wives and children, so she invited them all to her big house in France.
I’m not going to tell you what happens in the end because I want you to see it yourself. I also
have the book, I’m reading it now, but I think the film is better. I would like to see it again so
you can come with me and my sister on Saturday. I’m sure you will love it when you see it. It’s a
little bit sad, but not all the time. Sometimes I laughed and sometimes I cried, but I can’t say if
the film is funny or sad.
I hope to see you next week. Talk soon.
Love,
Rachel
