Reading
In the last few weeks I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more exciting than
work at home, read the newspapers, and watch television. I had begun feeling bored with this and so, last
weekend I thought I would do something different. I phoned several of my friends and we decided to go to
London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn’t been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach
as this was the cheapest means of transport. In London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to
see some of the famous buildings. After the tour, we bought some sandwiches and ate them in the small park. In
the afternoon some of us went shopping and the others went to the theater. We met up again at 6.30 p.m and
went to a small restaurant in Sotho. The meal was really good, but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we
had expected. We had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our

coach left.

A. has lived in London for ten years
