4 II. READING COMPREHENSION (15 pts) a. Put the paragraphs of the following information letter from BRITANNIA HOLIDAYS in the correct order 1 5. (1 pt each) Dear Holiday-maker, Britannia Holidays - Extra trip to Arundel Castle: Wednesday. The picturesque town of Arundel not only offers pleasant walks down by the river but some interesting old shops, too. The castle stands on a hill outside the town and can be seen from miles around. There has been a castle on this site for almost 1,000 years, but the present building is not that old, so it is certainly not an ancient ruin. The castle buildings are used as a home by the present owners, but quite a large part is open to the public.. We will arrive in Arundel at lunchtime and the castle has its own restaurant, which serves excellent home-made lunches. If a group of you would like to pre-book, we can arrange a discount. If not, you can decide when you arrive, as there is always plenty of space available. For those of you who prefer a lighter meal, traditional English afternoon tea is served in the restaurant from 3.00 pm at a very reasonable price.. I hope that you are enjoying your stay at the Albion Hotel. I am writing to tell you about an extra trip we are arranging for Wednesday afternoon. We will be going to Arundel Castle, which is a tourist attraction about 40 miles from here. A coach will be leaving at 11 am and returning in time for the evening meal at 7 pm. The kitchen has been informed so if we are delayed for any reason, they will wait for us. Please remember this is not part of your package so, although the coach is free, there is an admission fee of 7.00 if you want to include the castle in your visit.. So, if you would like to join us on our trip to Arundel, please enquire at Reception by Tuesday lunchtime at the latest, and your name will be added to the list.. Among the things to admire at the castle are some wonderfully furnished rooms. The library has a unique ceiling and there is a beautiful bedroom, once used by members of the royal family. Furniture from the 16th century and a fine collection of old clocks are among the exhibits that should not be missed. The picture gallery is also worth visiting, showing paintings by famous artists such as Canaletto and Gainsborough. Have a nice day. Clara Tongue Tour Company Representative b.
