Part 2: Read the paragraph about Bill, a writer. Decide if these sentences are True or False. (1 mark)
Circle T for true or F for false
I was born in the United States but I have written several travel books about England. I lived there with my
wife and four children for 20 years, but for the last three years we have lived in the United States. Our
children are now learning about life in the United States. I’m sure they will be happier because they have
lived in two countries. I like Britain I want to return, but my daughter Felicity, is going to start college here
soon, so it won’t be for another four years.
I have just been to England for six weeks to work on a radio programme about the English language and
also to talk about the book I’ve just written. Most writers don’t like doing this; they don’t like travelling
around the country, selling their book. I don’t mind it. I like visiting new places and meeting lots of people.
It’s very different from the life I have in the United States when I’m writing. In England, people drove me
around in big cars and I stayed in expensive hotels. It was good because I didn’t have to pay any bills.
Everyone was kind to me and it was fun.
