3 Woman: Sure, well, I can show you a few things. Here’s a map of the capital, St. Peter Port. This is Castle Cornet. It’s over 800 years old. Once, the sea went all around it, but now you can walk there. In fact, there’s a concert at the castle on Saturday night. Do you like classical music? man: Yes, I do. Woman: Well, a symphony orchestra is performing Beethoven’s 9th symphony. It’s a great place to hear it. A great atmosphere. Man: Sounds good. I’ll think about that. What else is there to see? Woman: If you’re interested in history, go to the St James concert hall. You can see an interesting tapestry which shows the history of the island. Man: Sounds interesting. Woman: It is. The Candie Gardens are here, and this is Hauteville House. The French writer Victor Hugo lived here. Did you know that? Man: No, I didn’t. Woman: Of course, there are lots of shops, here, and there are lots of lovely cafes next to the harbour where you can relax with a coffee. Man: Where’s the best place to go walking? Woman: Oh, there are super places to go walking. Cliff paths, country lanes… You can join a guided walk if you like, or explore the island by yourself. Man: A guided walk? That sounds like a good idea. Woman: Yes, we have guided walks on lots of different topics. The leaders are experts in subjects like history or nature. Here’s a list of the guided walks available. Man: What’s on today? Woman: Let’s see. Well, there’s a guided walk around St Peter Port today. It’ll take you around the major sites and the guide will give you a potted history lesson! It costs 5 pounds and lasts an hour and a half. Man: Sounds good. What time’s that? Woman: Two o’clock. Man: Can I buy tickets here? Woman: No, but you’ll meet your guide right here, outside the door of the information centre. You can pay then. Man: Great. Are there any others?
4 Woman: Well, sadly it was our Autumn walking week last week. We had lots of different tours all over the island, to the reservoir, the wine region, along the canal - but that’s all finished now. Man: What a shame. I would have enjoyed that. Woman: But you can buy our booklet of self-guided walks and visit these places by yourself. Man: This one? Woman: Yes, it costs £7.50. There you are. I’d really recommend this walk here - along the west coast. The cliff path is really dramatic here. Man: Okay. This looks good. I’ll buy it. Another thing, I keep seeing signs for Tennerfest - what’s that? Woman: Tennerfest? Oh, that’s our food festival! It’s great. Lots of restaurants offer really good meals for just ten pounds. Man: Oh, is that why it’s called Tennerfest, because everything costs a tenner? Woman: Yes, that’s it. Man: Is it on now? Woman: It starts on Saturday - in two days time. Man: Sounds as if I’ve come just at the right time then. How long is it on? Woman: It lasts a full six weeks. Here’s a list of the participating restaurants. Man: Wonderful. Any recommendations? Woman: Oo, well they’re all good, but last year I had crab at the Atlantic Hotel. It was excellent. Man: Mmm! Woman: The ten pound menus aren’t available all day though, so make sure you check the leaflet. Man: Oh yes, the menu at the Atlantic is only available from midday until two. Woman: Yes. They’ll all be like that. But it’s really worth it. And ferry trips to Jersey are cheaper during Tennerfest, so if you’re interested in visiting that island too, you’ve come at the right time. Man: Well, I wasn’t planning it. I went there last year. It was a bit busy for my liking. Woman: Okay, well, if you change your mind you can get times and prices from the Condor Ferries office, on the quay. Is there anything else I can help you with? Man: Er, no thanks. I think that’s everything thank you. Can I just pay for this book? SECTION B. LEXICO – GRAMMAR (20 points) Part 1. Choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.
