    Practice 2: Correct or Incorrect

    The Ferry Building

    A: Read the Context

    Every day hundreds of people pass through the San Francisco Ferry Building, a place where a variety of products and services are available. The San Francisco Ferry Building is the place where commuters catch their ferries at. It is also a place where people come to walk and watch activity on the bay. The area inside in which people shop for food is also where people can find restaurants and shops. Shops where you can buy meat, cheese, bread, mushrooms, plants, coffee, herbs, and so on.

    The Ferry Building was built at a time there were no bridges in 1875. People had to take a train to the Berkeley or Oakland ferry terminals, there they would catch a ferry to San Francisco. When the Bay Bridge opened in 1936, the Ferry Building became an unnecessary place at which the ferries were forgotten. In the 1970s, when the traffic on the bridge made the commute difficult, ferry boat service resumed. Now the Ferry Building serves as an activity center where San Franciscans shop, eat, catch transportation, and relax near the water.

    available (Adj) – easy to find or get

    commuter (N) – a person traveling to and from a place of work

    ferry (N) – a commercial service with terminals and boats for transporting persons, automobiles across small bodies of water.

    resume (V) – restart

    terminal (N) – station

    variety (N) – having different kinds or types of things

    B. Correct or Incorrect
