VI. Read the text and circle A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer for each
question below.
A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I’d be hanging
30 metres above the ground and enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river far below
me, and realised why people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The
accommodation wasn’t wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets,
food), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come
along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with
Amanda. We had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure
exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing
and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was
harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last - covered in
mud but pleased and excited by what we'd done.
