Read the text below and look carefully at each line. Some of the lines are
correct, and some have a word which should not be there.
If the line is correct, put a tick
at the end of the line. If a
line has a word which should not be there, write the extra word at the end of
the line. There are two examples at the beginning (0 and 00)
Remember to read the text quickly first before you start looking for words. (Time limit – 12-13 minutes)
| 0 | It was a lovely Spanish summer day when Angeles and I | correct | |||
| 00 | decided to go to Madrid. We packed in our bags | ||||
| 01 | and took a taxi to the station where we have just managed to | ||||
| 02 | catch the eleven o’clock train. We settled down in our seats | ||||
| 03 | and took out our books to get read them, but we soon | ||||
| 04 | both began to feel a little sleepy and fell asleep. | ||||
| 05 | A few of hours later a guard on the train woke us up. | ||||
| 06 | We had to get off because the line was being blocked | ||||
| 07 | because of floods. The guard said that a bus would take us | ||||
| 08 | the rest of the whole way. I gave the bags to Angeles who | ||||
| 09 | struggled to the bus which soon set it off. Unfortunately, the bus broke | ||||
| 10 | right down after only an hour and we had to wait for a mechanic | ||||
| 11 | for more than the two hours. Finally, we were able to continue our | ||||
| 12 | journey and we arrived in Madrid later than we had been expected, | ||||
| 13 | but all the rain had stopped and the sun was shining. Tired, but | ||||
| 14 | optimistic, we went straight into a bar and had a strong coffee | ||||
| 15 | and a double brandy each. Things could only get better! |
