SECTION I: READING AND COMPREHENSION

1. Read the article and choose a phrase (a–f) to complete each gap.
The Larmer Tree Festival
If you love music and 1 a , you have to go to the Larmer Tree. Every July near a small village called Tollard
Royal in the south-west of England there’s a four-day music festival. Musicians
come from all over the world to play there 2 .
The gardens are big enough for 4,000 people and you can buy day tickets, or you can stay for the weekend
or for the four days. Most people decide to camp 3 , so they take their tents and bring all their food and
drink with them. There are a lot of different food stalls as well, so you can try all kinds of foods. There are
also lots of stalls where you can buy jewellery,
clothes, books and paintings, 4 .
There are lots of things for children to do as well. They can learn to make things like decorations and they
can play games and make new friends. On the Sunday afternoon there is always a parade and they can
take part in it with their parents. Often they dress up as
different animals or birds 5 . It’s very colourful and everyone enjoys it.
Although there are a lot of people there, you feel as if you’re at a party because everyone is so friendly and
relaxed, 6 . The sun doesn’t always shine, but that doesn’t matter because people are always in a good
mood. The main thing is the music, so if you want to experience
something special, I recommend this festival. I guarantee you’ll have a good time.
