Hey, have I told you that on my birthday, in two days time, my friends are
joining me on a train journey to York. We will be travelling after lunch on
Thursday and staying until Sunday. I will be sitting by my friend, Gina, during
the journey. We are going down the River Ouse in a boat and we are going to
walk up Clifford’s Tower, near York Castle Museum. If there is time, we will go
into the museum to look inside the prison cells and walk around the old buildings.
Oh, I forgot to say that on Friday evening, we are going on a ghost walk - cool!
It starts by York Minster, takes you through York’s old, narrow streets and

then along the river. Saturday night, we are dining in an Italian restaurant.
Mmm, I love pasta!

Task 3: Prepositions and Interjections (2 points)
