Reading Comprehension - Learning English.

Read the text and choose the best answer for each question.

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 maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever
possible outside the class.

Black Hollywood -

Match words from the reading text with these definitions:

Patricia Denning stars in a sad movie about ambition and heartbreak.

When Cecilia leaves college in Texas, she has everything: a wonderful boyfriend, Carl, an interesting job and an expensive
house in a pretty town. Her life is perfect. Even her black Labrador dog, Perky, is a star: he wins the local dog competition
and Hollywood wants to put him in a movie.
Cecilia goes to Hollywood with him and leaves her boyfriend alone back home. When the studio fires Perky, Cecilia decides
to stay in Hollywood and tries to get other movie roles for her beautiful dog.
Carl gives Cecilia an ultimatum: come home and stop behaving crazily, or stay there forever. Cecilia decides to stay in
Hollywood and wants to become an actress herself. She sends Perky back to Texas and starts an acting course. After six
months, Cecilia realizes she can't act and she misses home, but it's too late. Carl has found another girlfriend. Cecilia tries to
win him back, and also discovers a lot about herself on her long journey.
This is a very sad movie, which makes you think about what we want from life. Patricia Denning is very convincing as
Cecilia, but the star of the movie is gorgeous Perky, the black Labrador who steals our hearts. Black Hollywood is in
cinemas from next week.
