READING Read the text and questions below. For each question, choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D. Lake Vinney My favourite place for water sports is Lake Vinney, but it has only existed since 1975 when the valley was filled with water to provide electricity. Under the water is the village, Vinnthrope. Last week I talked to Pat Smithers, who runs a shop on the edge of the lake and looks after a huge cap park. She gets up early to travel to her shop to sell newspapers and food and doesn’t finish work till late because of the car park. She said drowning the village was the best thing that ever happened, as it brought a lot of business to the area, and the number of visitors from all over the country continues to increase, especially as there is a new road which means it is easier to get to. When I asked people enjoying the water sports, they said they never thought about the drowned houses and streets. When I spoke to some people in the café overlooking the lake, I was surprised they still get angry about what happened. They used to live in Vinnthrope and were moved to other places in the area, among them thirty children who are now middle-aged, but they still miss the village. They say that nobody asked them what they wanted – they were told one day that everything was decided. They were separated from their friends and had to get buses to new schools instead of walking there together. It is a shame that these people lost their homes, and I hope something similar never happens again in the future. I would miss the water sports if they weren’t there, however, and I must say that I hadn’t ever thought about what was under the water until last week. |
