Part 2: (0.4X5=2ps)
Read the text and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
Winter Driving
Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and
accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of the hill. Ice
might be hiding beneath the melting snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming
towards you may suddenly slide across the road.
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven movements can
make a car suddenly very difficult to control. So every time you either turn the wheel, touch
the brakes or increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Imagine you
are driving with a full cup of coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill it.

E It stretches for 2000 kilometres and is up to 800 metres wide.
F However, I didn't think I could take part in a dive cruise and not dive
G At no point were we permitted to swim away on our own.
A Natural Wonder
