It can get quite busy later in the day But it’s an amazing museum There aren’t many of Frida’s important pictures
| but it’s so interesting to experience and understand the life of the artist I really recommend you pay for the audio guide because it’s great to listen to stories of Frida’s life as you walk around her house After visiting the museum,

It’s important to understand the difference between facts and opinions, especially in academic reports, or in reviews Both facts and opinions are useful, but facts tell us about something that has been counted or measured
@ Decide if each sentence in this holiday review contains a fact (F), an opinion (OQ), or both (B)
My flight left early in the morning and took four hours
oo | stepped off the plane and into the small airport terminal building
| could feel the warm sun on my back
The 42-room hotel was convenient for the town, but there was only one bus an hour to the beach
Nonetheless, the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming
The food was mainly typical international food and not very exciting
But towards the end of the week | found a restaurant that specialized in local food, and offered a two-course fish
meal for just €25
8 Write an advert to attract tourists to a holiday destination Include three key facts and some opinions
We all make choices about what we do - whether we watch a late-night film or go to bed,
what we eat, what we study and who we spend time with In these cases, we evaluate different
options We also evaluate evidence in academic or scientific texts or the quality of works of art
oO Read the text about a piece of research and answer the questions
Walk or take the bus?
A research study asked people to decide between walking or taking the bus The results show that with a bus fare
of £2, people choose to walk for journeys up to 1 km, but prefer the bus for longer journeys They prefer to walk for journeys of up to 1.2 km rather than wait for ten minutes In bad weather and when there is a bus shelter, they
wait and take the bus even for journeys of 0.7 km (which means it is quicker to walk, but they get wet) Time, cost, comfort and knowledge of when the bus would arrive all contributed to the decisions made
a What was the research study about?
b What was the distance that people preferred to take the bus? And what was the bus fare?
¢ What factors did people consider when making their travel decisions?

@ Imagine you are on holiday Evaluate the options for going to the beach from your hotel
a Distance from hotel to beach = 3 km
b Weather = 32°C and clear
¢ You are carrying a small rucksack with some money, a towel and your swimming costume
Option 1: walk
The walk takes 50 minutes, but you can stop and look at the resort shops and cafés on your way
Option 2: take the bus
There is no bus shelter, and the next bus is in 30 minutes The journey takes five minutes The bus fare is €3 single or
€4.50 return The last return bus is at 4.30 p.m
Option 3: hire a motorbike or car
The hotel has a rent-a-bike scheme A small motorbike costs €15 a day, but means you could ge to other places as
well as the beach Car hire costs €40 a day
8 Which option would you choose if you:
a_ have alot of time?
b are with your young children?
