Highfield House
Come and enjoy three hundred years of history in a single day! Highfield House is one of
Britain’s finest old buildings, with attractive, well-kept hardens and good views of the
beautiful North Norfolk coast.
Until recently, it was the home of members of the Highfield family. Now, however, this
classic 18th-century hall is a living museum full of art and history, where many objects
belonging to its past inhabitants can be seen and enjoyed by the public.
Highfield House really does have something for everyone. There are so many attractions,
from the beautiful state rooms to the peaceful picnic places by the lake. You can even have a
trip on the water if the weather is suitable.
Enjoy a guided tour of the House, starting with the grandeur of the entrance, and carry on
through the various rooms. (Visitors should note that some rooms may be closed for
repairs.) The tour of the House ends in the old kitchen.
Highfield also has a large collection of objects which were once used on the farm, such as
early planting and harvesting machines and steam engines. These can be seen in a separate
building near the House.
You will also find many wonderful examples of the work of local painters for sale in the
shop. And don’t miss the beautiful Garden Centre on the site of what used to be the old
18th-century walled garden. The Centre has a good range of trees, shrubs and plants for
sale and is open the whole year. (See below for House opening times.)
Visit the gift shop for really useful presents for all the family, and have a look in the art
gallery at the collection of beautiful pictures belonging to the owners of Highfield House.
Follow your visit with a delicious afternoon tea in the comfort of the tea room. Or, if you
don’t wish to be inside, why not bring your own picnic with you to have in the park,
before walking beside the lake to see the many different kinds of birds there? What is
more, in the summer, the clean sandy beaches make a perfect place for children to play.
HOUSE OPENING TIMES:
Daily 2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. from the beginning of June to the end of September
(except Sundays and Mondays — 1l .30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.)

PART 4
Questions 21-25
 Read the text and questions below.
 For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer — A, B, C or D — on your
answer sheet.

If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy, then I
have found just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the
Greenwood Holiday Village, which is open from May until October.
Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the
weather. Its main attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, where young
and old can have fun in the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious
swimmers only.
For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your
children are too young to join in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a
good place for families as it is traffic-free — you explore on foot or by bike. Some
people complained that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh
air. For evening entertainment, there are shows and cinemas.
Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four
bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area. Before going, I thought
the apartments might not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised —
it was not too crowded at all.
I’ll definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don’t you give it a try? Visit
their website for further information now!
21 What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text?
A to five her opinion of the holiday village
B to describe what her family did at the holiday village
C to give advice to a friend going to the holiday village.
D to complain about the holiday village
22 From the text, the reader can find out
A the best way to get to the holiday village.
B the best time of year to visit the holiday village.
C what activities are available at the holiday village.
D how to reserve accommodation at the holiday village.

About the Speaking test

The Speaking test lasts about 10 to 12 minutes. You take the test with another
candidate. There are two examiners in the room. One examiner talks to you and the
other examiner listens to you. Both the examiners give you marks.
Part 1
The examiners introduce themselves and then one examiner asks you and your
partner to say your names and spell them. This examiner then asks you questions
about yourself, your daily life, interests, etc.
Part 2
The examiner asks you to talk about something together and gives you a drawing
to help you.

Part 3
You each have a chance to talk by yourselves. The examiner gives you a colour
photograph to look at and asks you to talk about it. When you have finished
talking, the examiner gives your partner a different photograph to look at and to
talk about.

Part 4
The examiner asks you and your partner to say more about the subject of the
photographs in Part 3. You may be asked to give your opinion or to talk about
something that has happened to you.
