I then go on the bridge and I walk along the river bank for a short distance. I then go across the road, under the raylway bridge, round the corner and on the hill, which is quite tiring. I then turn left around Green Street and the school is on the left. I take the same route in reverse to come back from school to my house. Sometimes in the morning I take the bus to school. I get on the bus near my house and get to the bus outside the shops near the school.

EXERCISE N°2 PAGE 277

Last summer we went to Italy. We drove from London to Bari. We went to France and Switzerland and on the East cost of Italy.

We went to Greece for our holidays last year. It was amazing when we flew over the Alps. We them hired a car at Athens airport and drove around Athens and the south of Greece. It was exciting when we drove on the bridge that goes over the Corinth Canal. The canal was about 100 metres belowe us.

We went to a small island in the north of England called Holy Island. When the tide is low, you can drive from the island to a narrow road. The island is very small: you can walk all the way on it in a few hours. It's my favourite place in England.
