Read the passage and choose the best answer.

I was born in Newcastle, a city in the North East of England. Newcastle is on the bank of

the River Tyne. It is 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, Gates head, where there is one of the biggest shopping

centers in the world.

A few years ago, the main industries were shipping and coal mining, but now the

chemical and soap industries are more important.

I left Newcastle ten years ago but I often return. 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.

People who are born near the River Tyne have a special name. They are called “Geodies”.

I am very pleased to be called a “Geodies”.
