Part 2 : Read the text and circle the best answer to each of the questions that follow :
We stood in Syntagma about nine o'clock in the heat of an August evening preparing to
start the business of going round the small hotels to look for a room. We had a map and I
knew the alphabet from my schooldays and from various problems in algebra and geometry,
which use many of the letters , especially the one that helps you with the area of circles.
In the bus , as Europe passed the windows of the great six -wheeler and on the ferry I 'd tried
to learn the numbers and a few of the most useful phrases . At least we would be able to
understand the price of things and exchange the normal polite greetings .We would realize
later how much English was spoken , particularly in matters of buying and selling.
With pages photocopied from a "Rough Guide to Athens" we set off. Soon it was obvious
Athens was full of English speakers using the " Rough Guide ".At one reception desk after
another people were "Sorry but... perhaps tomorrow ".Finally we got to the bottom of yet
another long street running down from Syntagma and went through the doorway of yet
another hotel to begin our ritual "Eh- heh- teh thomah-te- oh? "Have you a room ? "
A large man sat behind a desk . It was after eleven o'clock at night and we waited for
the now familiar apology and suggestion that we come back tomorrow . "Well now ",he said in

faultness English, " If you don't mind waiting till the staff clean and prepare it , there 'll be a
room ready in about an hour "After resting our tired legs and feet in the hotel 's small bar, the
large man appeared, picked up our bags and led us to a lift.
" It 's on the top foor , " he said : " On the roof ". He saw our look ."Don't worry, it 's
very comfortable. "We ascended, stepped out , followed him up a fight of stairs and through a
doorway into the open . The night sky was all around us full of very bright stars. He stopped at
a door , opened it and put our bags on the foor. We followed him . It was to be our home for
the next three weeks . He handed us the key.
" Come outside . I 'd like you to see something", he said and walked to the end of the
roof. " Just look round there ". We leaned out over the parapet just enough to be safe and put
our heads round the corner of the building . In the distance on the top of its hill, fully lit and
clearly outlined against the night sky, was the Acropolis. Later, one memorable night, we
would walk round it by moonlight, but I don't think anything could ever equal the magic of first
seeing it the way we did, just a little before midnight from the top of a Athens roof.
