Reading 10 Read the email. Are the statements true (T) or false (F)?
Hi Laura

It was great to get your email the other day with all your news. I’m so glad that things are
going well with Paul. He sounds really nice. When can I meet him?!

Speaking of men … guess what – I’ve met someone too! A friend of mine Carol (I don’t
think you’ve met her) suggested speed-dating as she’s been on her own for a long time
and she’d like to meet someone special now. Well, you know me … I always enjoy doing
different things, so I agreed to go. Actually, I wasn’t looking for anyone for myself as I’m
quite happy on my own, but I knew that Carol wouldn’t go if I didn’t go with her.

So, we arrived at the venue – it was a big private room in the town hall. We were a little
early, so we sat down and had a drink. I think Carol was quite nervous. I didn’t know what
to expect so I felt fine! At 7 o’clock exactly, the organisers started the evening and they
explained what we had to do. So, all the women sat down at small tables and the men
walked around. We had three minutes to talk to each man. Some of them were really
boring, but one or two were actually quite interesting. Well, one was very interesting!

Then we changed places and the women walked round. It’s a very strange way to meet
people I must say, but at the end of the evening Martin came up to me and asked me out
(you shouldn’t really do that but he decided to break the rules!). I was very surprised, but I
agreed to go and we went on our first date yesterday. He took me to his favourite Thai
restaurant and as I love spicy food I was very happy with his choice! We didn’t stop
talking and the time went so quickly. He’s taking me out again at the weekend. We’re
going to go for a picnic on the beach.

Who knows what might happen, but I certainly wasn’t expecting anything like this.
Unfortunately Carol didn’t meet anyone, so I feel a bit bad as it was her idea in the first
place.

Let’s meet up next week and go for a pizza.


Love
