I Read the following text attentively and then answer the questions about it.
Leisure
10Leisure activities have never been more popular than they are in Britain today. But most people have to
travel some distance to play golf, go fishing or just enjoy a game of tennis. As for blowing the sta1e air
out of your lungs with a cliff wa1k, or a stroll on the beach at low tide, you must be prepared to face a
full day's expedition.
Unless, that is, youre holidaying on the island of Guernsey. The island's 25 square miles are packed
15with accessible entertainment and activities, though happily not at the cost of conservation. You're
never more than a 20-minute drive from a wide variety of leisure facilities, both gentle and strenuous,
from visiting historic churches to scuba diving or sailing. There is an intriguing Anglo-Norman
heritage of architecture, culture and cuisine, while even locals are surprised by the number of
festivals and events being staged during the year.
20Plenty of competitive sports are on tap too. Tennis, squash, golf and indoor bowling among many
sports at the Beau Sjour Centre on rainy days.
If your interests are architectural and historical, then Guernsey is a layer-cake of sites, from Stone Age
times to the Nazi occupation during War World II. There are menhirs and dolmans all over the place
and a beautiful castle guarding St Peter Port.
25Finally, a word about accommodation and food. Two and three star accommodation is normally
available, and there are excellent five-star hotels too. Most restaurants blend French and English
cuisine, and since there is always plenty of seafood you can be sure that you will always taste delicious
meals.
