Read the passage and answer the following questions: For the last few months John has spent every Saturday in his flat and has done nothing more exciting than works at home, reads the newspapers and watches television. He had begun feeling bored with this and so, last weekend he thought he would do something different. He rang up several of his friends and they decided to go to London for the day. He was really excited as he hadn't been to London since he was ten. They decided to go by coach as this was by far the cheapest means of transport that was available even though it meant that they needed to get up very early. Once in London they decided to take a sightseeing tour as they wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour they bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon two of them went shopping and the others went to the theater. They met up again at 6:30 p.m. and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was really good but, unfortunately, it took much longer than they had expected. They had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, they got there just two minutes before our coach left. 1. Has Nam gone to London with his friends for the last few months? …………………………………………………………………………………………………. 2.
