Read the following extract, then choose the correct answer:
For the last few months 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 rang up 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 by far the cheapest means of transport that
was available even though it meant that we needed to get up very early. Once 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 a small
park. In the afternoon two 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 Soho. 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.

READING 2:
One day in spring, I took a walk with some of my friends. As the day was bright and the air was fresh, we were glad to be
out. I thought it was much more pleasant to ramble about through the woods and the fields than to study at home because
knowledge can be obtained not only from books but also from nature.
As we passed through a large meadow, we saw birds flying from tree to tree and singing their songs sweetly. The sky was
blue and the trees were tall; the green grass and the little yellow flowers were quite soft beneath our feet. The stream
flowed serenely, the wind blew gently, and the scent of flowers stroked our noses. What a charming scene it was!
We sat on a meadow and chatted cheerfully for a while. Unexpectedly, the sun having set, it was growing dark everywhere.
One by one the stars appeared in the sky, and the beautiful moon shone upon us.
People were all ready for supper with lamps lighted when we returned home.
