READING
1 Read the text again. Are the sentences True (T) or False (F)?
Last year my boyfriend Mark was forty, and I wanted to get him a special present for his
birthday. Just before Christmas I saw tickets for a Bruce Springsteen concert for sale on the
internet. The concert was in Burlington, about 25 miles away from where we live, and Mark is
a big fan of Bruce Springsteen, so I decided to buy two tickets. They werent cheap I think I
paid around $90 for each one. I wanted to surprise Mark, so I didnt tell him about it.
On the day of the concert, I told Mark that I wanted to do some Christmas shopping in
Sheffield. We left in my car just after lunch and spent the afternoon in a big shopping mall. I
bought Christmas presents for my family and a skirt for work. Mark looked for some new
jeans, but he couldnt find any that he liked. By the time we finished shopping, it was nearly 6
p.m. and we were hungry, so we had dinner in a Japanese restaurant. After dinner we left
the shopping mall and started on our way home. On the way we passed the concert hall, and
we could see the crowds of fans outside. Mark was really surprised when I drove into the
concert hall parking lot and gave him the tickets!
The concert was fantastic. We danced all night, and Mark took lots of photos on his cell
phone. Afterwards we bought a concert CD. We put it on when we got in the car, and we
sang all of the songs as we drove home. We didnt get back home until nearly one oclock in
the morning, and we were both really tired, but it was a great night and Mark really enjoyed
his surprise.
