II.READING

1.Read the passage and choose the best answer  A, B, C, or D.

Should we go and see cathedrals, museums and monuments when travelling? I like many things about travelling, but queuing up to buy museum tickets then having your visit ruined by noisy tour groups is not one of them. The things making places special are all around the famous buildings, not inside them.

My recent trip to India is one example. The most interesting part of it was getting to know people - policemen riding elephants or children trying to earn some money by cleaning shoes. It was all so amazing that I didn't need to do any 'proper' sightseeing.

I also have fantastic memories of Florence. It was boiling hot and the queue to the art gallery was at least a kilometre long. Instead of joining it, I sat in a shady square and listened to a man singing opera songs to only a few listeners.

One of the best things about travelling is creating memories to bring back. When I got back home from a holiday in Malaysia, I made some of the dishes I'd tasted in the food market. Maybe my results weren't as good, but they reminded me of the places and the people I'd met - far better than anything from a souvenir shop.

New York has Central Park; London has Hyde Park while Kuala Lumpur has its own piece of green belt amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. It's an ideal place for a leisurely stroll in a tranquil setting, all without having to leave the city. The Lake Gardens was created by Sir Alfred Venning, who persuaded the ruling government to allow him to turn a swamp land into rambling trails with man-made lakes, spanning 60 hectares. However, as the city expanded, the Lake Gardens reduced in size. However, it is still a sizeable area and boasts of more than just grass and water within its grounds.
