VIII. Read the passage then choose the best answers. (6)
Package holidays, covering a two – week stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular,
because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour
operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming,
sunbathing, skiing - you name it - it's all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother
anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you
will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend
almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit
historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in
some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next
morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There
is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have
never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this,
it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a
group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat
and watch the world go by.
1. When you go on a package holiday, you don't have to…………
A. arrange anything yourself B. pay for any extra activities
C. follow the tour schedules D. travel in an organised group
2. People going on package holidays…………

C. find most of their interests catered for D. are able to make friends with lots of local people
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. You are constantly on the move when you are on a coach tour.
B. A coach tour is always exhausting.
C. You don't get enough sleep on a coach tour.
D. You get no chance to visit historic buildings in famous cities on a coach tour.
4. “Time is always at your elbow” This means…………
A. you can take your time visiting a place
B. you have to spend a lot of time visiting a place
C. your time is always limited when visiting a place
D. there is always no time for you to visit any place
5. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is good particularly for…………
A. schoolboys and schoolgirls B. the lonely or elderly people
C. newly married young couples D. those who always travel by themselves
