Reading

Read the text and write T for True, F for False or NM for Not Mentioned.

A few years ago, I used to live by a lake near the forest. The area was a bit spooky,
especially at night. I worked long hours back then, so I went home late in the evening.
One night, I was going back home when the strangest thing happened. I came around a
corner and to my surprise, a strange creature was standing in the middle of the road. I’m
sure it was frightened by the lights because all of a sudden, it disappeared into the water.
At the time, I didn’t think I should stop and look for evidence to prove what I’d seen. I
thought I was lucky not to have crashed into it. I went back with my camera the next day
to look for clues, but I couldn’t find anything. All of my friends thought it was one of my
mystery stories but, amazingly, I noticed a story in the newspaper that seemed to be
related to what I’d seen the night before. The picture on the front page was too blurred to
prove anything for sure but to me it was obvious. I had seen a monster.

1. The incident happened while the writer was going to the lake.
2. The mysterious creature lived in the forest.
3. The writer took lots of photos with his/her camera.
4. The writer’s friends didn’t believe him/her.
5. The picture in the newspaper was very clear, so he/she could prove he/she
had seen a monster.
