Subject: Hi from USA!

Hi Sammy,

I'm here in the United States and having a great time! We arrived on Wednesday and visited the Lincoln Memorial and Georgetown. Georgetown is a historic area in Washington, D.C. The food here is great. I ate a hot dog. It's a traditional American street food. I really liked it. Tomorrow, we're going to the White House with a tour guide and taking a boat trip along the Potomac River. We're going to the National Air and Space Museum on our last day in Washington, D.C. On Friday, we will get a flight to New York City. I'm looking forward to going on the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and going to Yankee Stadium. The weather here is warm and sunny and the people are very friendly. I hope you're enjoying your summer holiday back in London. I wish you were here.

Jane

1 There are twelve mistakes in the following passage, underline and corect them

Dear Mr and Mrs Wilcox,

I'm very happy that you can come to visit us in August, but I would like to tell you something in my town.
The weather here in August is usually very good, and bring a warm jumper or jacket with you because it is sometimes cool in the evenings.
I know if you like going to the theatre and to the opera, then I have booked tickets for the performance of 'Aida' in August 4th. An opera will start at 9.00 in the evening. Because there are lots of people when the seats do not have numbers we must arrive very early.
I know that you will like the monuments in Verona, especially the Arena and the Roman theatre.
There is a lot of good restaurants and cafés in Verona and we can try some of the local dishes. I'm sure you like our food, especially the pasta and the fruit ice-cream.
Please write to me early and tell me early what time you are arriving in Verona.
With best wishes,

Making the world a greener place : Grow your own vegetables

United States
When you think of Washington, you might not think of vegetable patches, but there are lots of them. "Community plots'' wherepeople can grow their own food are getting more popular. Brian Wallis, who works in banking, like gardening in his free time. And he's not alone. "When you work in the city, gardening is a great way to relax'', he says
Australia
Outside Sydney there are more than fifty community gardens. In the garden at the Addison Road Centre people grow all kinds of things, from bananas to coffee, herbs , beans and vegetables. They also have lemon, peach and cherry trees. People come here to learn new skills related to organic gardening and recycling
Kenya
In Kenya having a piêc of land to grow food on is not just a good way to relax it's a way to earn some extra money. Maxwell shares the land his father gave him with his 6 brothers. They grow bananas, coffee and sugar on the land, as well as vegetables to eat at home. "Some as the food we eat ourselves'', he says, "and some we sell at the market"
Russia
Every weekend in the summer, the roads of Russia's big cities are full of traffic, with families escaping to their "dacha". A "dacha" can be anything from an old shed in a field to a huge house in the countryside, but the reason they go is the same. people from the city can enjoy the clean ải and grow vegetables. Tatiana, who has a plot near the Black Sea, grows tomatoes and cucumbers in the summer and cabbages in the winter. "It always tastes much better when you grow it yourself", she says
