Read the text about Edinburgh and decide if the sentences below are True or False.

Edinburgh
A visit to Scotland often begins in Edinburgh,
the capital city of Scotland. Edinburgh is an old
city with many important and interesting
buildings. After London, Edinburgh is the
second city for visitors in
Britain.
If you come to Edinburgh by train from the south, the first
thing you see when you leave Waverley Station is
Edinburgh Castle. It stands high over the city. Soldiers in
kilts take visitors around and tell them the castle’s story.
Edinburgh is a hilly city but it is a good city to visit on foot. After the castle,
you can visit more of the Old Town. Go down the Royal Mile to
Holyroodhouse - the Queen’s home when she
comes to Edinburgh. It is three hundred years
old.
You can look at the shops on the Royal Mile or
on Princes Street in the New Town. Some shops
sell the famous Scottish tartans and you can see
the name of the family which goes with each tartan. Near Princes Street
is Charlotte Square, which is very beautiful. There is also the National
Gallery of Scotland, with pictures from Scotland and from many other
countries too.
In August, you can visit the Edinburgh Festival, the biggest arts festival in
the world with hundreds of different things to do and see.
 adapted from: Oxford Bookworms, 2002

TRUE FALSE
1 More people visit London than Edinburgh every year.
2 Edinburgh Castle is situated on a hill.
3 The Queen lives in Edinburgh Castle when she comes to
Edinburgh.
4 In the national Gallery of Scotland you can see only Scottish
paintings.

Read the following text about Calvin’s school.

Hello!
My name is Calvin I am writing this letter to describe my school: Bill
Watterson’s school. It’s a Secondary school.
I like my school. It seems to be a bit old, but it’s cool and has got character.
The teachers are nice and understanding, and we have lots of activities, so
we never get bored.
There are interesting places to go. There are a gymnasium and a big playground. Some
pupils like going there after classes to play football. That’s my favourite sport: I call it
Calvinball! I created my rules...
There is also a library with lots of old books. At first it seems to be an unpleasant place
to stay because of the dust in the bookshelves. In the library there aren’t only books; there
is a television, a computer, some magazines. We can play chess or even cards in there.
Then there are the classrooms. They are many. I didn’t count them. They are cosy and
comfortable. There are some specific rooms, too. Some of them are called
laboratories. There is a laboratory of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and
Maths. There is one computer room, I think. Pupils can go there to do their
project works or homework. This is the best place for me. Finally, there is
a music room. I play the flute. I think I play it well, but my teacher doesn’t
agree.
I really like studying here. My favourite subjects are English and Maths.
I love my timetable. I get up at 7:25 a.m. to come to school every day. I have classes at
8:20. I finish at 3 p.m. every day. It gives me time to do after-school activities like theatre. I
am studying languages and I go to the Language Club three times a week. There I can read
magazines in German and French, watch a foreign video and listen to music.
I think that’s all for today. I will send a map of my school for you to see as it is really
big!
 Write to me and talk about your school and your timetable.
Your friend,
understanding = nice, sympathetic
Calvin
to get bored = to be tired of something

unpleasant = not comfortable

cosy = pleasant and comfortable
