Lincoln

The city of Lincoln is 2,000 years old and there are a lot of interesting buildings to see. The
cathedral is in the north of the city just outside the main city centre. You can walk to many of
Lincoln's other attractions from the cathedral. It’s not far from the castle. There is a wonderful
view of the city from there. Behind the castle is The Lawn, an old hospital, which is now a
museum with shops and a café. You can sit in the beautiful gardens to have lunch or a coffee.
There is a car park a few metres from the café.
During the summer, walking tours leave from the Tourist Information Centre, which is next to
the castle. They are not expensive, last about an hour and visit all the main attractions. There are

some very interesting museums. The Toy Museum is near the Tourist Information Centre and
has children's toys and games from the last century.
There are shops and a market in the old city centre. There are two shopping centres - one is
Waterside Centre opposite the market and the other is St Mark's Shopping Centre. St Mark's is
newer than the Waterside Centre and is just south of the main city centre. Go straight down the
High Street from the city centre and it is on the right.
In the middle of the city centre, there are some beautiful spots away from the crowds. For
example, you can walk by the river or take a boat trip. Trips leave from Bayford Pool.
You can travel to Lincoln by train, bus or car. It is 216 km from London. The bus station is
beside the river and the railway station is a few minutes' walk away from the bus station on the
other side of St Marys Street.

II. Reading
1. Read the articles about Debbie Sullivan. For questions 1-8, mark A, B or C on your

answer sheet.
Storyteller Debbie Sullivan's a very busy woman. She's got ten children. Every morning she
wakes up at six o'clock. The older children get up at six-thirty and start school at eight-thirty.
Debbie spend most days at home with her babies, cooking and cleaning. She doesn't have time
to go out to work, but she doesn't mind her life. She 'd like to have more children. Debbie's
husband, Bob, works in an office. He doesn't enjoy it, but he earns lots of money. Debbie spends
most of it on food and clothes for the children.
Debbie likes the evening best. After dinner, she sits down in the living-room and tells the child
story before they go to bed. She doesn't read from a book, because these are her own stories
week she tells a different story that starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Once the children are
asleep, Debbie can relax. But she doesn't sit and watch television with Bob. She writes her latest
story in a notebook before she forgets it.
Bob sent one of Debbie's stories to a competition in a newspaper and it won. They said she
should become a writer, but Debbie wasn't sure that she was good enough. But the children
though it was a great idea, so she decided to try. She took them to a zoo. They liked the elephant
best, so Debbie wrote a story about it. The book company loved it. You can now buy this story
in the shops.
