Last summer | decided to spend my week ‘relaxing by the waterside, surrounded by exotic paim trees and colourful Mediterranean architecture. How is ths following my previous agvice? Well dirt have to leave rainy Britain to do so. ‘On the mouth ofthe river Dwyrydin North Wales, the vitage of Portmeirion |sa theme park holiday village, surrounded bya ring of dark green forest. Up cise the village displays an odd mix of culture; bright talian style bullaings in vivid colours against the scenery ofthe cloudy grey Welsh sky and the darks muddy land that leads out to cola, uninviting waters, Most famously, Portmeirion was used as the location for the 1960s psychological spy drama, The Prisoner. This famous TV series ie said to have been directly inspired by the strong colours of the village. “Amusingly though, wile the episodes were flmed in colour, they were shown ata time winen~ although colour TV was onthe rie - the majorty ‘of people stil hac biack and white televisions. Even my untrained eye could tell that Portmeirion is more than a village: {tis also a living museum and a work of art. | found sculptures from Greece and italy sharing a corner with statues of Asian origin, in the shade of a wal transported from Scotland. Palm trees and other exotic plants also thrive here far from their native countries ana despite the colder climate, Itis not hard to see why the vilage has been described asa home tor fallen buildings’ This does not, as has been jokingly remarked, reer to the initial poor quality of some of the original houses in the village — 430 although this was certainly a fact. Itreers to the way in which pleces of ‘abandoned structures - often by a variety of architects, sometimes from the other side of the globe - have been rescued, brought to Portmeition, and given new tif. For me, walking around Portmeirion was like stepping nto a beautiful painting, With bright buildings that would not look out of place in an art ‘gallery. its not hard to see why it has long attractes artists looking for inspiration, However, despite the occasional festival or event, the vilage’s lack of permanent residents - and the large number of photograph taking tourists ~ means it acks the feeling of being lived. t has the atmosphere of a village for display rather than for practical purposes, When the day-tippers had let and the village was sient, sat by the ‘water fountain in the Central Plazza, The darkness hid the signs of ‘wear and tear on the houses around me: the places where the paint, continuously attacked by strong coastal winds, had split and peeled ot, fr the rain had washed away the colour. Above me, palm trees moved inthe breeze, but the grass at my feet and the smell of rain inthe ait Were familar features of ome. Icoule really see the purpose behind the village: the way it uses and enhances the natural qualities ofthe local ‘area yet transports you far away atthe same time. 1. What point does the writer want to make about modern travel? €. We often ignore attractions that are close tohome b. Long distance travels very cheap. . Attractions designed specifically for tourists should be avoided 4. We should search for experiences we cant find cose to home. 2. What is the writer's purpose in deseribing the ‘surrounding area nan unappealing way? ‘a. to show the usual weather in that area '. to demonstrate the contrast between architecture and the environment . to-emphasise his mer negative feelings about the climate | 1. to show speciticaly why helshe usually travels to exotic places instead 3, Why does the writer fee the timing ofthe ‘TV series The Prisoner is worth remarking on? a, The location was chosen for its colour, but mest viewers couldn't appreciate this i. The release of the TV series turned Portmeirion into a tourist destination. twas filmed just before the invention of ‘colour film, and couldn't show Portmelrion tofulladvantage, ‘Though inspired by it, the TV series became ‘more famous than the vilage in the end 4. What does this'in tine 30 refer to? 1. the joking remark that was made about the description i. the vilage’s reputation as a home for fallen buildings «. the origin ofthe expression ’a home for fallen buildings 4. the poor quailty ofthe original bulicings in the village '5. Why does the writer say that Portmetrian resembles‘a village for display’? a Its billant colours are more fitting for a gallery than the reat worl Itdoes not have the atmosphere of a ving community. Apart from a yearly festival, the vilage Is always empty and quiet. 4. Its qualities are attractive to artists 66. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? 1. thatthe village looked better at night, b. that the village would soon be totaly destroyed that you cart enjoy the village when itis. full of tourists 4. that by visting this vilage you could enjoy the familiar as well asthe foreign aspectsStudent’s Book pp. 55-57 A.Choose a,b, cord.
