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. Im sure it was frightened by the lights because all of a sudden,
it disappeared into the water. At the time, I didnt think I should stop and look for evidence to prove what
Id 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 couldnt 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 Id 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 writers friends didnt believe him/her.

5. The picture in the newspaper was very clear, so he/she could prove
he/she had seen a monster.
