IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer for each of the following questions.
J.K Rowling was born near Bristol in 1965. She always wanted to be a writer, and her first
book was called Rabbit, which she wrote when she was six years old. She grew up in a town in the
south-west of England, and when she left school, she went to Exeter University. After that, she
moved to London and worked for Amnesty International.
She first had the idea for a Harry Potter book in 1990 when she was on a long train journey.
But in the same year, she went to Porto in Portugal and worked as an English teacher. When she
was there, she met a Portuguese journalist – they got married and had a baby. Then, she divorced
and came to Britain. She was unemployed, but she continued writing. She also did a teaching
course and became a French teacher in a school in Edinburgh. In 1997, Harry Potter and the
Philosopher’s Stone was published.
Rowling’s first three books sold over 35 million copies in three years, and in 2001 Chris
Columbus made the first Harry Potter film. J.K Rowling still lives in Edinburgh.
