1. Read the email below and complete the paragraph plan. Dear Sarah, How are you? I haven’t heard from you for a while. Remember I told you that I would be visiting Warwick Castle with my classmates? Well, I have to tell you about my exciting day there! My teacher told us some interesting facts before our visit. Did you know that the old castle was built because a king’s daughter wanted a wall round her small village? Today, the castle has the Great Hall where meals were eaten, bedrooms and a tower with many windows on which canons were placed to defend the residents of the castle. Also, there is a steep hill called the Mound, which stopped attacking soldiers from getting into the castle. Now, it has become part of the pretty hillside garden. Of course, there is also a gift shop and various restaurants serving tasty meals. We arrived there at 10 am and were taken around the Great Hall and the Cold Tower. Then my teacher surprised us by taking us on a Christmas journey. It was truly magical! We went through a pine forest with big ice sculptures of animals, Jack Frost and the Christmas Fairy, as well as a twenty-five-metre high Christmas tree. Unfortunately, it all ended too quickly. Anyway, I told my parents about it and they want to go, too, so we’re going back in a couple of weeks! Would you like to come with us? I’ll let you know the exact date. Love, Mary 2.
