Tomorrow we’re all going on a coach trip to Lake Tandy and I’d just like to give you some information about the trip. We’ll be leaving here at nine thirty in the morning. It’s a seven-hour trip, so we’ll be back at half past four. We’re going to visit three places. The first one is a castle. This was built six hundred years ago and it is very interesting. After that we will stop at a café for lunch at one o’clock. We’ll stay there about three-quarters of an hour. We will then drive on to our third stop. It will be at a beach and if you like you can swim there or just sit in the sun and look at the scenery. The lake is very beautiful and there are lots of birds there. So remember to take a camera. I’m sure you’ll be able to take some excellent photographs.
