Part 1: Reading Context
Read the conversation between Marco and Giulia.
Marco: Have you seen the plan for the trip to Edinburgh?
Giulia: No. Are we flying there?
Marco: No, the teachers booked a coach. It takes longer, but the fare is much lower.
Giulia: What about the hotel?
Marco: We aren’t staying in a hotel. The accommodation is a youth hostel. It’s basic.
Giulia: Cool! Why don’t we look at the activities?
Marco: Saturday there is a sightseeing tour.
