Read the text and decide if the statements are T(true )or F(false):

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads ; everyone watches TV , rents videos , or goes to the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books , movie magazines , and TV guides . City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes  have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is" sold-out" year after year.

This outdoor festival , sponsored by a newspaper , occurs every April for one weekend . This year's attendance was estimated(ước đoán) at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday . People came from all over California.

A food court sold all kinds of popular and ethnic (truyền thống) foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks . Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so , some people avoided the food court prices by sneaking (lẩn trốn, ăn trộm)in their town sandwiches and drinks.

The idea for the festival occurred years ago , and book festivals were already popular in other US cities, but nobody knew if it would succeed in Los Angeles . " Angelenos are very unpredictable, (không thể đoán được) " said one of the festival founders.
