Questions 58 – 60 refer to the following text.

Dear Bram,

It has been a long time since we exchanged letters. In this letter I am giving you an
exhilarating experience of my camping trip.

I, along with six schoolmates, went camping to Bir in Himachal Pradesh. It was a
seven-day trip. We went to Delhi by train and after a day's stay left for Bir early in the
morning by bus and reached there by evening. We camped out in the woods. The
nights were mostly clear and we enjoyed the beauty of the moon, the stars and the sky,
It was wonderful to see the night sky, as there was not an iota of pollution in the hill
area. We also sat around the campfire and told stories and jokes.
We went for long walks and also went trekking. The natural beauty of this place is really
worth seeing. There are pine trees all around Bir and a small river flows, winding its
way through the valleys and hills. As this place is very calm and quiet, we could very
clearly hear the chirping of birds and movement of the water.

It was really a great time for all of us. I wish you were with us. When you come to
Ahmedabad next time, we shall plan a similar camping trip again. Pay my regards to
your parents.

Yours sincerely,

David
