Reading
1. Read a text and answer True/False questions.
Read about the climate in Madagascar on a travel website. Then choose true or false.
Madagascar – When to go
Madagascar has two seasons, a warm, wet season from November
to April, and a cooler dry season between May and October.
However, different parts of the country have very different weather.
The east coast is hotter and wetter, with up to 4000mm of rainfall per
year. In the rainy season, there are strong winds, and these can
cause a lot of damage. Avoid visiting eastern Madagascar between
January and March because the weather can make road travel very
difficult. The dry season is cooler and more pleasant.
The high, central part of the country is much drier and cooler. About
1,400 mm of rain falls in the rainy season, with some thunderstorms,
but the summer is usually sunny and dry, but it can be cold,
especially in the mornings, with freezing showers, and it may snow
in mountain areas above 2,400m, and even stay there for several days.
The west coast is the driest part of the island. Here, the winter months are pleasant with
little rain, cooler temperatures and blue skies. The summers can be extremely hot,
especially in the southwest. This part of the country is semi-desert, and only gets
around 300mm of rain per year.
1 Madagascar has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

lives! Well, I definitely do! I keep dreaming of what I’ll do if I ever become rich and famous.
B If I become famous, my life will change a lot. People will know me and say hello to me
when I go out and ask for my autograph, and they’ll want to have a photograph with me!
And if I become rich, I’ll have lots of nice clothes and a big house and a fast car, too!
C But I think that if I become rich and famous, it’s also important to help people who aren’t
so lucky. So I’ll use some of my money to help others.

There, poor children will learn to read and write and maybe become good athletes too. If
they become famous athletes, then they can also help others!
E I don’t know how I’ll become rich and famous, but I’m going to try anyway. I’m good at
sports and I work hard to become better and better. And if I eventually become rich and
famous, then I’ll really try to help others. What about you? What will you do if you become
rich and famous?
