 PRACTICE EXERCISES

I.1 In this Speaking Part 2 long turn answer, the student is speaking about her
favourite book. She has made some mistakes in her grammar. Read the script below
and correct the mistakes.

‘My favourite book is called the Hunger Games. It was wrote by Suzanne Collins I
think and it is a really good book. The story is set in North America, but at a time
when things are very bad. It’s a story of a terrible society, which separated into
districts. A boy and girl from each district send to take part in the Hunger Games.
These games are televised for everyone to see. The games are basically a fight to the
death for the children taking part. The story follows a girl called Katniss, who forced
to take part in the games when she offers herself up instead of her sister. I like the
story so much because it is very exciting. At first, I found it really horrifying, but the
more I read it, the more I couldn't put the book down. I really came to like the main
character too. She is so strong. I was recommend this book by some friends and it
didn't disappoint me.’
