Decide which place or event would be the most suitable for each person.

6 Roberto is visiting the city for work and has Sunday morning free before his flight. He wants to do something relaxing outdoors but doesn’t want to travel far from the city centre. He isn’t really into history, but loves looking at plants and flowers. ABCDEFGH

7 Nadia and her two young children (aged 5 and 7) are looking for something to do on a rainy Saturday. The children have lots of energy and need an activity where they can move around freely. Nadia would prefer somewhere she can sit and have a coffee while watching them. ABCDEFGH

8 Carlos wants to do something active on Saturday afternoon with his 13-year-old son. They both enjoy a physical challenge and a bit of competition. They are not interested in team sports but want something where they can try to beat their own previous score. ABCDEFGH

9 Emily has a free Sunday afternoon and wants to go somewherepeaceful to read a book for a couple of hours. She doesn’t want to sit in a noisy café or a busy park. She’ll probably get hungry around 2:30 and would like to eat something proper, not just a snack or a drink. ABCDEFGH

10 Viktor and his girlfriend want to do something on Saturday night that feels like an event. They want to be somewhere with lots of people and a fun buzz. They plan to eat while they are there but they hate waiting for a waiter to bring a bill. They are happy to try new flavours. ABCDEFGH
