D. READING
Read the text and questions below.
For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer – A, B, C or D
John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an
old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors,
winning three architectural prizes.

‘I love the space, and being private,’ Elizabeth says. ‘You feel separated from the world. If I’m in the
kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don’t have to answer it
because visitors can’t see I’m in!’

‘There are 142 steps to the top, so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it’s very good exercise!
But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping
from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it’s a brilliant place to live.’
‘When we first saw the place, I asked my father’s advice about buying it, because we couldn’t decide.
After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how
we wanted it to look.’

‘Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But when you
stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day, and that’s a wonderful experience.
I’m really glad we moved.’

A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I’d be hanging 30 meters above
the ground and enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river far below me, and realized why people love
rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn’t
wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets, food), and we were pleased to be out of
the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two
friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. We had come from
various places and none of us knew the area.
