IV. READING
7. Read the text.
A. Read the following text and choose the best answer.
Dear cousins,
I'm here in England on a three-month exchange visit. It doesn't snow (1) in winter,
so I don't have to wear lots of clothes like at home. The school is always quite warm
because there's central heating.
There (2) _ three floors, so I often get lost and have to ask (3) directions! DT is
on the ground floor, for example, but biology is on the top floor – that's a lot of stairs!
One good thing is that the doors on each floor have a different colour, so it's easy to
remember: blue, red and green.
The school subjects here aren't the same as at home. In history classes, we learn about
English history, not European history, so I'm not very (4) on that. We don't have to do
economics this month because the teacher's sick (I can't stand economics!). But the
science labs are brilliant! We can do lots of experiments, and the teachers are fun.
Life outside the school is a big change! I have to be careful in the streets because cars
all drive on the left. There's a good bus service (5) the town and the school, so I don't
have to walk much. And the family I'm living with is very friendly. They have a son
and a daughter about the same age as me, so we sometimes go out together.
But there's still a lot that I don't understand! I have to do a lot of homework, so I don't
watch much TV. And the food – what can I say about the food? They eat everything
out of cans and packets, so I really miss my Mum's cooking!
Write back soon!
