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”.
