Section 1:

Trap 1: And many guests, of course, travel by car, and you may have to take their
vehicles around to the car park, so you will need to have a valid driving license, and
you will not be allowed to do the job if you haven’t.

Trap 2: As you know, this hotel is popular with exclusive travelers and so you’ll need

Section 2:
Trap 1: On Friday afternoons we have an open surgery which means you can come
along and just wait to see a doctor, but you may have to wait for several hours, so
it’s much better to make an appointment and come at the specified time.

Trap 2: However, you need to pay for the prescription and the cost varies with the
medicine, but its usually just a few pounds. Nevertheless, in some situations, such as
pregnancy, the prescription is then free.

Section 4:

Trap 1: The starting point was, of course, the ground, and while parts of the wheel
itself were still being constructed in various countries, tension piles were being
driven into the ground beside the River Thames.

Trap 2: Now the project really was in business, and the vast rim with spokes like an
outsized bicycle wheel could be brought in.

Trap 3: And the view was enhanced by the capsule design; unlike traditional ferris
wheel designs that you might see at a local fairground, the passenger capsules were
not suspended under the wheel,
