READING COMPREHENSION

Read the text about three cooks and the questions below.
For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, or C.

Matt
Cooking was not important to me when I was young. My mum was a good cook but it was boring for
me and we didn’t learn cooking at school. When I finished school, I worked on a boat. I went to Italy,
Spain and Japan and I learned about different food. I came home, went to college and read all the new
cookbooks. Then I got a job in a hotel restaurant. Next month my new restaurant will open in Paris!
Antonio
I love all food – Chinese, Russian, Brazilian! Mum and Dad both cooked great food when I was young
and I liked helping them. There were no cooking lessons at my school but I always helped Mum cook
dinner on Sundays. Then I found some of her cookbooks. They were over seventy years old and really
interesting. Now I have my own school for students of cooking and sometimes I use Mum’s books in
my lessons!
James
I didn’t like a lot of subjects at school. They were so boring! But I loved the cooking lessons. The
teacher was great and we cooked lots of different things – fish, pizza, biscuits. We never read books!
We visited new restaurants in town and ate food from different countries. Now I am a writer! I wrote
my first book six years ago. It was about cooking for children, with lots of ideas. My next one is going
to be about fish.
