VII. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are True
(T) or False (F).
Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and impressive temples;
there are a few parks worth visiting. Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses,
rooms, shops. Long - side streets consist of tiny houses only, and this often creates a
toy-like, with small women tip-toeing along in their kimonos.

Tokyo at night is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime. Millions of
neon signs are switched on and nowhere in the world is more attractive.
A town is not its buildings alone; it is an atmosphere, its pleasure, its sadness,
its madness, and above all its people. Tokyo may lack architectural beauty but it has


character and excitement; it is alive. I found it a mysterious and lovable city.

There are many beautiful buildings in Tokyo.
2. There is nothing to see in the parks in Tokyo.
3. Many small houses are found along long roads.
4. Tokyo at night is not as attractive as many other cities.
1.

5.

Tokyo has beautiful architecture.

6.

The author likes Tokyo very much.
