Exercise 6. Read the following passage. Choose TRUE if the statement is true, FALSE if the statement is false.

My grandma and I share a pastime: knitting. She taught me how to knit when I was ten years old. In the evening, we both sit in front of the TV and knit. Now I can knit scarves, hats, and even sweaters. I remember last year I had to find a birthday present for my dad. Then I thought of knitting a sweater for him. I searched the Internet for a day, and finally I found the pattern that came with a YouTube video showing me how to make a sweater. It took me a week to finish it.

Dad was so happy with the present and said it was his favourite sweater. The best thing about knitting is that it makes you be more careful and patient. Sometimes you drop stitches or hold the wool too tight, so you need to continually practise. My grandma says knitting is magical because you can create anything you want with just wool and a pair of needles. I love knitting!
