PART 2: Reading Comprehension
Katie's diary
Saturday 24 August
We left home early in the morning, but our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive at Dublin
Airport until late in the afternoon. We were really tired, but we took a bus to our hotel
because taxis in Dublin are very expensive. When we got to the hotel, we had a rest and then
went out to explore the city. We had a quick sandwich in a small café and then decided to go
to Grafton Street. I bought a scarf and some T‐shirts. I wanted to buy a sweater too, but I
couldn't find one that I liked. In theevening, we ate in a Chinese restaurant and went to a
typical Irish pub. We met some really nice Irish people and had so much fun that we didn't get
back to the hotel until very late!

Sunday 25 August
We got up late and had breakfast in the hotel. I had cereal and some fruit. Anna just had toast.
After breakfast, we went for a walk around the city. We saw Trinity College and the Guinness
Storehouse. In the afternoon, we had a pizza and then took a bus to the train station.
Travelling by bus in Dublin is a great way to see the sights. We caught an evening train to Cork
and arrived at about nine o'clock. We walked to our hotel and went to bed because we wanted
to get up early the next day and explore the city.
