Reading

8 Read the texts and circle T (true) or F (false).

I love fancy-dress parties. I always have one for my birthday. Last year I was Dracula.
My clothes weren’t very special. I wore black trousers, a white shirt and a long black
coat. But I painted my face white and bought some big plastic teeth. This year I’m going
to be an Egyptian mummy. The only problem is that it isn’t going to be easy to walk like
that!
