In the past, children of the household had very (31) choice in the way their bedrooms were decorated.

V. Read the passage below, and CIRCLE the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for each question (2pts)
Back in the 1980s when I went to Bali, I thought it was a wonderful place to visit. I returned recently and
found that you can still find some places where that magic has survived, but first you have to work hard to
get past the busloads of tourists and the shops. The guided tours are quite interesting, but you will find
yourself in a queue with all the other tourists waiting to look at the same temples and monkey park. I wanted
to see things from ordinary Balinese life - the shops, markets, a wedding and so on – and the best way to do
that was to hire a taxi for the day. My taxi driver took me to a wedding, which was a wonderful show of
Balinese culture, and then we went on to the paddy fields where the latest crop of rice was being collected.
Kuta is the island’s leading resort for surfing. It’s a noisy, dirty town filled with tourists who come to
shop and party late into the night, but the sea is perfect for surfers. If you want a more relaxing time, stay on
the other side of the island in Sanur, where it’s less developed and much more peaceful. Hotels are cheaper
and you can easily travel to other parts of the island.
Souvenirs are not difficult to find, and the shops all sell the same kind of items such as batik T-shirts,
hats and wood carvings. In fact, you can buy most of these things at the airport if that’s what you want, and

then you don’t have to carry them around with you. The antique shops, on the other hand, have interesting
things like magnificent old tea sets that are really worth buying.
At the end of my return to Bali, I decided that parts of it were still very beautiful and I quite enjoyed
myself. So, if you have time, stay in Bali for a few days, but make sure you explore some of the other
islands for the rest of your trip.
