TASK 1
Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B or C to each of the questions.
A library is an important part of a school. It gives the students and teachers a good place where they can focus on their study and work. They can come there to borrow so many kinds of books they do not have at home. At break time, they may enjoy reading some books there like comic books or adventure stories. They can also use computers to do online searching. There are some small rooms for group work as well. A teacher often uses this room to give tutoring or help with some group work. One disadvantage is that the people cannot always stay late or come there in the evening because not every library is open then. Everyone can learn and improve their knowledge day by day there.
