Reading Task 1. Read the story about some mythical creatures and answer True/False questions. Write True or False in front of each statement.
There are lots of stories about fantasy animals. Sometimes the animals were strong and killed people; sometimes they were signs of good luck. Here is some information about six famous fantasy animals.
Unicorns were beautiful creatures like horses. They had a long pointed horn in the middle of their foreheads. The horn was magical. If a unicorn put its horn in dirty water, the water became clean. Unicorns were a sign of good luck, but only honest people could see them.
Centaurs were wild creatures. They were half-man, half-horse. They lived a long time ago in Greece. Most centaurs were soldiers but one centaur was different. His name was Chiron. He was a famous teacher. When he died he changed into a star called Sagittarius.

The Minotaur was a very scary creature for people. It had a bull’s head and a man’s body. It lived in a labyrinth on an island called Crete. If anybody went into the labyrinth, they got lost and could never get out again. Every year, people from the island of Minos sent 7 boys and girls into the labyrinth. The Minotaur ate them. One year, a brave man called Theseus killed the Minotaur. He took a ball of string from a princess and used it to go in and out of the labyrinth. Chinese dragons were good, friendly and intelligent. They were made from the parts of nine animals: a snake’s body, a fish’s scales, a clam’s stomach, a tiger’s feet, an eagle’s claws, a camel’s face, a deer’s antlers, a cow’s ears and golden eyes.
