IV. READING (2 points)

A. Read the text and the sentences below. Which holiday (A, B, C or D) is each sentence
about? You can use the letters more than once.
Holidays of the Week
A
For an unusual family holiday, why not stay on a train? You get to live and sleep in a 1950s
railway carriage in a small village in Cornwall in the south west of England. There’s a living
room, kitchen and two bedrooms. It’s only 3 km from the beach and the cycling in the area is
fantastic.
B
If music’s your thing, then how about a holiday with a difference in Gambia, finding out how
to play traditional African musical instruments? The price includes 5-star accommodation in
huts built to look like a traditional African village and two hours of lessons per day.
C
A beautiful farmhouse in the quiet French countryside is a very traditional way to take a
break, but there’s a good reason why it’s still so popular – it’s brilliant! You can try the local
dishes at the many restaurants in the area, there’s superb hiking in the nearby hills and you
can go swimming in the lakes there.

Well, last month, my friend, Andy and I had a crazy idea. We decided we would cycle from
the north to the south of Vietnam, from Ha Giang province to Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a 1902
kilometre trip! It will take ten to fourteen days. But I’m not a fast cyclist, and I want to enjoy
visiting different places, so we plan to ride for four weeks. We are going to start our trip next
week in Ha Giang City. We will visit historic cities like Hue and Ha Tinh, cycle through the
pretty countryside and visit museums and castles on the way. Andy wanted to camp, but I’d
like a comfortable bed at the end of each day, so we are going to stay in a homestay. I hope it
doesn’t rain a lot, but I hope it’s not too hot either! Hopefully it will be cloudy along the way.

A. bike B. car C. motorbike D. bus

AUDIO SCRIPT:
One:
This is a 615 train from London, Houston to Glasgow and finally to Carlisle. We're due to
arrive in Glasgow at 10:45 p.m. The foggy weather in London is not going to delay us at all,
and we're leaving on time. The weather in Scotland is not looking too good. We may need to
slow down when it starts getting windy north of Carlisle.
Two:
A: It's raining again. Every summer is the same in Yorkshire.

B: That isn't true, Jack. It's different every year. I remember in 1976, there was the most
wonderful summer. It was sunny everyday for weeks, and we were out all day every day. The
children spent the whole summer in the park. We even took picnics there in the evening 40
years ago.
