MY HOMETOWN

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.

So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond on the right
as you left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post
office has also been built just across from my old school.

There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. They
have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.

The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianised the centre and you
can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and some benches have also been
added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.

My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street along.
There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity. The library now has
a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese and
an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home.
Which is where I am going tonight!

A. Read the text and circle the correct answer.

Learning English

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best
method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?

The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all
the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go.
Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Italy, it is
always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower.

On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big
changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to
achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more
concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.

So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend
some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only viable
option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only
English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

B. Read the text and circle the letter of the correct answer

What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English? 2/2

The teachers aren't very good in Britain.

You have to work too hard in Britain.

Your life can continue more or less as it was before.
