B. READING
I. Read the text below and questions on the opposite page.
For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock down the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will consist of a multi-screen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local action group has promised to fight the £30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which has provided family facilities for over 25 years.
The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members of the group
argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town looks. They also
dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less healthy activities such
as video games and films. Apart from the size of the project, they say that the 550 parking spaces
provided will be too few and parking will become more difficult as a result.
Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in general it will only
have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it will result in up to 4,000
people being around Layton seafront late at night. ‘A lot of old people and families live nearby,’ he
explained. A meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.

Have you ever watched Alice in Wonderland? I did and I really like it. The film is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her, but she runs away and falls down a rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland, which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters on her adventures.
There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter. Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think she’s going to become a big star!
Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story.
