Hi Jenny,

How are you? I hope you're well.

This summer I'm taking a trip with my friend Denise. We're going
anywhere . Our plan is to walk across the state from
north to south. So we'll cross some big rivers, climb some mountains, and
walk through forests. Sounds exciting, right?

Are you going hiking this summer? If not, come and join us. Don't worry
- you won't get lost and you won't get wet! We have some good maps and
a very nice
tent. It's going to be a real adventure !

Denise and I are leaving next Sunday. If you want to come, it's important
that you let me know soon!

Bye for now.

Fatimah

ADVENTURES ANYWHERE

A British adventurer Alastair Humphreys has ridden his bike around the world, walked
across India, and rowed from Africa to South America. In 2011, however, Humphreys had
some of the biggest adventures of his life - and he never even left the United Kingdom.

B For a year, Humphreys went on microadventures - small, low-cost trips close to home.
Why did he do this? "I started to think that it was possible to have an adventure
anywhere," he explains. For his first trip, he went hiking with a friend around the M25 - a
188-kilometer road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included
swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill, and going on a mountain
biking trip. Humphreys learned something important from his microadventures: We find
adventure when we try something new.
C
Humphreys wanted other people to make this discovery, too, so he decided to share his
idea. He challenged people to go on microadventures and send him four-minute videos of
their trips. He asked them to do things like climb a hill, go away for a weekend, or choose
a random place on a map and go there. People from all over the world accepted his
challenge and posted their videos on Twitter.

a. cycled around the world

a. It was the location for Humphreys's first microadventure.

Read the passage. Match the sentences to the correct locations.

A MOVIE-GOER'S GUIDE TO LONDON

London has been the setting for many popular movies - from James Bond to Harry Potter. So if
you are visiting the UK's capital, why not follow this walking tour and explore some interesting
movie locations?

Start at the London Film Museum. Here, you can see a collection of items from many famous
movies. The museum is near Covent Garden - a famous market. And while you're there, you
should check out some of the amazing street performers.

Next, walk down King Street, then along New Row to J Sheekey. This restaurant is a great
place to see TV and movie stars. And it's not too expensive; you can get a great meal for under
£25.

Nearby is Leicester Square, known as London's "Theatreland." Many famous movie premieres
are held in the square, and it is also home to the London Film Festival. One of the exits of the
Leicester Square underground station appears in the movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince.

To get away from the crowds, you should spend some time in Leicester Square Gardens. Here,
you'll see a statue of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote his most famous plays while he
was living in London. Many of his plays, such as Macbeth, were later made into movies.

From Leicester Square, walk down to Charing Cross Road and then to the National Gallery.
Here, you can see famous paintings by artists like Vincent van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci.
This museum was also a location in the James Bond movie Skyfall.

Finally, go south on Charing Cross Road, past the underground station - which appears in
Thor: The Dark World - and follow the Mall. At the end of the Mall, you'll see Buckingham
Palace, the home of the British royal family. The palace appears in several movies, such as The
BFG and The King's Speech.

a. London Film Museum

b. J Sheekey
c. Leicester Square
d. Leicester Square Gardens
e. The National Gallery
f. Buckingham Palace
D 13. This place isn't too crowded and you can see a famous writer.
A 14. There are street performers outside and a famous market is nearby.
F 15. This big building is the home of some very important people.
C 16. There are artworks here and it was a location in a James Bond film
 READING PRACTICE:

FALSE if the statement is different to information in the passage
NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage

A Some birds find their way home from thousands of kilometers away, but they aren't the
only animals that do that. Every year, there are amazing stories of lost animals traveling
a long way to find their owners. One of the most famous of these was an American dog
named Bobbie.
B
In 1923, the Brazier family visited some relatives. They took their dog Bobbie with them.
While they were there, Bobbie ran away. The Braziers looked everywhere, but they
couldn't find him. Finally they made the sad decision to go home without Bobbie. Then, six
months later, a thin, dirty dog arrived at their home in the town of Silverton. It was Bobbie!
He was back home after traveling more than four thousand kilometers across the country.

A newspaper did a story about Bobbie's adventure. Soon the story spread across the
country and Bobbie became the most famous dog in America. Because of his amazing
journey, people called him "Bobbie the Wonder Dog." In 1924, Bobbie even appeared in a
movie about his trip, called The Call of the West. Bobbie was so famous that people sent
D him letters from all over the world.

to remember him. People put colorful clothes on their animals and took them through the
