Part 4. Read the text and mark the sentences as True (T) or False (F) (1point)
Hi. My name is Nick. I live in the small town near Pert. My favourite sport is fishing.
I often fish for hours without catching anything. But it doesn’t worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything even old boots. After having spent the whole morning on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. My friends advise me to give up fishing. But they don’t realise one important thing. I am only interested in sitting in the boat and doing nothing at all.
