Reading comprehension 1 Read the passage then choose the best option from a, b, c or d: Car drivers are angry about plans to open a new bus lane from the city centre. The plan, which will cost 200 million dollars, will stop all cars using Yellow Road, one of the most important roads into the city. “Traffic in the city is already terrible,” says businesswoman Mrs Joan Bates. “If they close Yellow Road, it will be even worse.” Another business person who uses South Road regularly, Mr Jason Shelley, says, “Why are they planning to close roads? With such lots of traffic congestion in the city, they need to build new ones. No one wants to take buses because they are too slow.” The organisers believe the project will help attract students to the university and that the electric buses will also reduce pollution. The bus lane will also be used by bikes and taxis. The project is part of a long-term plan to persuade people to use public transport rather than driving, to help reduce traffic and air pollution.

What type of writing is this text? a) An autobiography b) A persuasive essay c) A newspaper report d) A meeting decision Reading comprehension 2 Read the passage then choose the best option from a, b, c or d: With today’s social media, it is possible to find online reviews of everything from a local park or café to a famous restaurant or museum. Before you book a holiday, you can read what other people think of a hotel or car hire company and what they recommend you do when you get there. Although this means you can get information very easily, in my view, this is not as useful information as you can get from a guidebook. To begin with, we need to ask ourselves why people write reviews online. Whilst it is sometimes because people like writing their opinions, at other times they have a reason for writing them. Perhaps they know the owners of the café, or perhaps they are the owners of the café! That is why they give it a good review. Secondly, who are the people writing the reviews? It is difficult to know this information. If they are 50-year-old Europeans, will they have the same opinion as you? It is very hard to know if you are going to like the same places that they like. Lastly, we need to remember that guidebook writers are usually experts. You can trust them for accurate information and a balanced point of view. They also know who is using their books, so if the book is intended to be for young people, they will recommend places that young people will like. To conclude, online reviews are useful, but it’s important to remember that they are just people’s opinions. If you want to know what experts think, personally I think you should buy a guidebook. MY Reference 4 worksheet ef y R eren M ce Emad Hamdy Choose the best option from a, b, c or d : 29. The underlined word book is a synonym for............ a) conserve b) read c) reserve d) preserve 30. According to the passage, it’s advisable to get useful information....... a) from a guidebook b) by searching the internet c) on social media d) if you book a holiday 31. All the following are reasons why people write reviews online except... a) they may know the owners of the café b) they may be the owners c) perhaps they like to write their opinions d) to spend their their free time on social media 32. What’s special about guidebook writers? – They.................. a) like posting data b) are experts c) are untrustworthy d) have free time 33. What is meant by a balanced point of view? a) unbiased opinion b) subjective views c) unfair points d) misleading information 34. The underlined pronoun them refers to the........... a) information b) opinions c) times d) guidebooks 35. What kind of writing is this passage? a) A biography b) A short story c) An argumentative essay d) A narrative essay 36.
