R EAD I N G

7 When they arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon,

they ____.

1 Read Marias diary. Tick () A, B, or C.

A went to Shakespeares house

B went to bed

Saturday 18 July
We left home early in the morning, but our flight was delayed
and we didnt arrive at Heathrow until late in the afternoon. We
were really tired, but we took a bus to our hotel because taxis in
London are very expensive. When we got to the hotel, we had a
rest and then went out to explore the city. We had a quick
sandwich in a small caf and then headed for Oxford Street.
I bought a jacket and some T-shirts. I wanted to buy a bag as
well, but I couldnt find one that I liked. In the evening, we ate in
an Italian restaurant and went to a typical English pub in Covent
Garden. We met some really nice English people and had so
much fun that we didnt get back to the hotel until very late!

C walked around the town

2 Read the diary again. Are the sentences True (T)

or False (F)?
Example: Maria and her friend travelled to London
by train. F
1 London taxis are usually cheap. _____
2 When they arrived at the hotel, they had lunch. _____
3 Maria bought a jacket in Oxford Street. _____
4 They ate English food in the evening. _____
5 Maria and Anna liked the pub in Covent Garden. ____
6 Anna had a big breakfast. _____
7 They got a bus to Trafalgar Square. _____
8 They arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon at night. _____

Sunday 19 July
We got up late and had breakfast in a caf. I had a full English
breakfast, and then I had some fruit. Anna just had toast. After
breakfast, we went for a walk around the city. We saw Nelsons
Column in Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, and St Pauls
Cathedral. In the afternoon, we had a pizza and then took a bus
to the train station. Travelling by bus in London is a great way to
see the sights. We caught an evening train to Stratford-uponAvon and arrived at about nine oclock. We went to our hotel
and had an early night. We wanted to get up early the next day
and explore Shakespeares birthplace.
