Unit 4: Exercise 4
Read the postcard from Tom to his friend Adam. Choose True or False.
Dear Adam,
Hello from Coconut Island! I am having a brilliant time relaxing on the beach with my aunt
and uncle and my brother. It’s a shame that my parents aren’t here – they had to stay at home
and work. The beach has beautiful white sand, palm trees and clear blue water. I went
swimming this morning, and the water was lovely. It wasn’t too cold. There are a lot of
different activities to do on the beach. Yesterday morning me and my brother tried surfing.
He was much better than me, but I still enjoyed it. My favourite activity was the boat trip
yesterday afternoon. We saw dolphins and a lot of colourful fish. Yesterday evening, we had
dinner in a restaurant next to the beach and ate fish. I usually don’t like fish, but the food at
the restaurant was delicious!
Best wishes,
Tom

Disney. Today, the fun park is still one of the most popular places for tourists to visit in
Copenhagen and people who are both young and old enjoy visiting the park every day of the
year.

There are a lot of popular things to do for visitors to Tivoli Gardens. It is most famous for its
rides. The oldest ride in the park was built in 1914, and people can still ride on it today. One
quite scary ride is called ‘Vertigo’ and it travels at 100km per hour. This ride won the prize
for the Best Ride of 2014. There are also many restaurants, where people can eat food from
all over the world. There are many old buildings and the beautiful gardens are a very good
place to relax.
C ________________
Many people ask the same question about Tivoli gardens – how does it still get so many
visitors after all these years? One reason why so many people love Tivoli Gardens is because
there is something there for everyone. Some of the rides are old, and others are new. Some
rides are scary and others are relaxing. The rides are not just popular with children. Adults
enjoy them too because they make them think about when they were young. It has beautiful
buildings and gardens, and coloured lights at night time, so people feel relaxed and happy.
D ________________
Tivoli Gardens is open all year, and there are different things to see and do all year round. In
spring, visitors can enjoy the beautiful flowers in the gardens. In summer, the park is open
until late, and there are dance shows. There are pumpkins, spiders and witches for Halloween,
and in winter there are many coloured lights on the trees and a market. It is a popular place to
go to celebrate the New Year, when there are fireworks at midnight.
E _______________
There are two different types of ticket that visitors can buy to visit Tivoli Gardens. They can
pay to enter the gardens and pay for the rides later, or they can pay a little more for a ticket
which includes as many rides as they like. This is generally the best ticket to choose, as it
saves spending a lot of extra money on rides. If guests have a Copenhagen visitor card, they
can enter the Gardens for free. People can buy tickets at the gardens or on the internet.
