2. a. Read a part of Kate's letter. Answer the questions.

1. What tradition does Kate write about?

2. What is her opinion about it? Do you agree with her?

3. Did Kate have a good time in the castle? Why?

(1) Yesterday we had a chat about celebrating birthdays and someone mentioned birthday trips. I liked the idea and thought about my visit to Alnwick ['æntk] Castle. It was great fun! I think it's a cool place to celebrate a birthday.

(2) The castle is in north-east England and it's more than 900 years old. I'm sure you've seen it in the Harry Potter films. Guessed? Bingo! That's Hogwarts!

(3) We started with (- / a) short guided tour around (a / the) castle and were told about its history, customs, and traditions. Then we could try anything we wanted: (- / a) traditional crafts lessons and games, (- / a) dances to (- / a) bagpipe music and dressing up. By (a / the) way, I dressed up – surprise, surprise – as (a / the) princess. I also did (- / a) broomstick1 lesson on (a / the) very spot where Harry had had his first flying lesson. I absolutely loved it! Then Dad joined me. It was (- / a) laugh!

(4) After lunch in a treehouse (we'd had to cross the wobbly rope2 bridges to get there!) we explored the castle gardens. There was a bamboo labyrinth, Japanese cherry trees, and fountains. We also enjoyed another guided tour: around the poison3 garden. That was really an unforgettable, fun-filled day! It's a pity we didn't have time to do the Dragon Quest or to explore the castle after dark.
