READING
2 Read the text and match sentences a–f with gaps 1–5. There is one extra sentence.
When my husband suggested going camping for the weekend last month, I was quite excited. The plan was
simple. We wanted to ride our bicycles to a lake about 40 kilometres away from our town, camp there till
Sunday afternoon and then ride back home. We felt well prepared for the trip. 1 _____ We’d also bought some
camping equipment. But it was on this trip that I discovered some real truths about camping.
Truth 1: The best spot is right next to you and is already taken.
The ride to the lake went OK, although we got to the lakeside later than we’d expected. To start with, we didn’t
set off as planned because I had to wait for Frank. 2 _____ Secondly, we weren’t used to riding with such heavy
bags on our bikes. When we got to the lakeside, we quickly saw a few ideal spots to set up camp, but all
of them were already taken up by other campers.
Truth 2: The Sun goes down three times faster if you’re trying to put up your tent.
Still enthusiastic, we found a decent spot and started unpacking the tent. It was brand new, still in the original
packaging. 3 ______ Anyway, it wasn’t as easy to put up as our old one, and although we thought we still had
over two hours of daylight left, when we eventually finished putting it up, it was completely dark. Tired
and hungry, we ate some sandwiches that I’d made for the trip and then fell fast asleep.
Truth 3: It’s almost certain to rain during the night if there’s a hole in the roof of the tent.
But the day wasn’t over for us, as disaster struck at about 2 a.m. We woke up to discover that the tent floor
was wet through as rain was coming in through a hole in the top of the tent. 4 _____ Worse still, our bags were
directly under it, so all our clothes and things were completely soaked. The worst thing, though, was that Frank
had accidentally broken the box with the worms he’d brought for fishing. 5 _____ So I had to wait outside
in the pouring rain (with no umbrella!) until he’d cleared up everything and dried out the tent. And we had only
been at the campsite for several hours …
