IV. Read then answer the questions:
 I was born in Newcastle, a city in the North East of England. It is on the bank of the river Tyne. It’s quite big, with a population of about 200,000 people. There is a cathedral and a university. There are five bridges over the river Tyne, which link Newcastle to the next town, Gateshead, where there is one of the biggest shopping center in the world. A few years ago, the main industries were shipbuilding and coalmining, but now the chemical and soap industries are important. I moved to London ten years ago but I often return to Newcastle. I miss the people, who are very friendly, and I miss the beautiful countryside near the city, where there are so many hills and streams.
