Passage III For each question from 31 to 40, choose the best answer.

Here are the instructions for next weekend’s camping trip in Scotland. There are sev-
enteen people going on this trip so it’s important that you arrive at the meeting point
early enough for us to be able to leave at 8am. There will be two minibuses and please
make sure you are on the right one. Last week’s e-mail gave all this information.

We should arrive in the camping area at about 2pm, which will give us enough
time to buy the food we need in the local supermarket and then go to the area where
we will set up the tents, which is a long way from town.

There will be a total of four large tents put up and each tent will have a tent leader,
a person who went on this trip last year and therefore has the necessary experience. If
you have any problems during the two days, you should always go directly to your tent
leader and speak to him/her.
