Second term English test 2Text:
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen… In around half an hour, we’ll arrive
at the “Marvellous Caves”. They are situated in the region of Jijel.
They are the most important attractions there. Tourists all over the
world visit them mainly in summer on their way to the beaches of the
region. There are some instructions you should follow before you get
inside. We’ll get in as soon as everyone pays his ticket for the visit.
You are not allowed to use your cameras inside so, leave them out with
your bags, please. While you are inside, do not touch anything. The
guide will be angry if you touch the rocks or take photos. He will
