Reading comprehension

I. Read the magazine interview. Are these statements True (T), False (F) or
is the information Not Mentioned (NM)? (6 marks)

Mike: Hi! I’m Mike Prior. I’m interviewing people for the school magazine. Is it OK
if I ask you some questions?
Paula: Of course. I’m Paula. What do you want to know?
Mike: I want to know what people think of the new school film club.
Paula: Oh, I think it’s great! Our teacher, Mr Rogers, knows a lot about films and
books and we learned a lot.
Mike: And did you like the film?
Paula: I did, but my friends didn’t. They wanted to see a film with more action. But
I’m interested in history and I really liked the story.
Mike: Did you read Great Expectations before you saw the film? Charles Dickens
isn’t an easy writer.
Paula: I tried, but it’s very difficult. That’s why the film club is so good. Mr Rogers
showed the same chapter in three different films. That was great. Every
director did something different.
Mike: Do you think it’s a good idea for the film club to show films made from
books?
Paula: Yes, I do. It can help with homework. It’s easy to understand the story with
a film. And some people don’t like reading, but the film can make them
interested in the book.
Mike: What’s next for the film club?
Paula: Divergent. I didn’t know the film came from a book. I started reading it
yesterday and it’s really good. I can’t wait to see what the director does in
the film. I can learn a lot.

A. Kate I went to the new shopping centre in Barnes Road last Friday and
it’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen. It’s enormous! It takes hours to go
around all the shops. There are some great clothes shops and I spent
ages in one of the sports shops. It had lots of new equipment and
clothes. But you have to do a lot of walking to find what you want in the
shopping centre. There’s a floor plan, but it isn’t very clear and it’s
easy to get lost. It was nice to go to once, but I don’t think I want to
shop there regularly.

B. Gareth I think Barnes Road is a really good shopping centre and

they’ve designed it very well. There are cafés on every level and there’s
a cinema as well. There are lots of lifts and stairs to get to the different
levels. And I really like the trees that they have right in the middle by a
small lake! It’s good to sit and watch the little waterfalls and look at the
flowers. You can easily spend a whole day there.
 C. Tina At last! Some good designer shops in our area! Thank you Barnes
Road! They’re a bit expensive, but that’s normal and it’s fun just to
look at all the different brands. The clothes shops are really good with
all the latest styles. And there are lots of other great products, too. My
brother spent ages looking at cameras and computers and smartphones.
He loves gadgets! And there’s a cool vegetarian restaurant on the
second level. The food is delicious. I think I’m going to spend a lot of
time (and money!) there.
