III- Read. Then choose the best answer ( 1.0 p )
The first few days after getting home from college were okay, but then I began to feel rather bored and lonely. My parents were busy working and most of my friends were either away on holiday or else had holiday jobs. I had tried to get a job myself but without success. I was beginning to wish I had not come home when I saw an advertisement for holiday courses in the local newspaper.
For a small fee, you could try lots of different activities organized by the town’s youth club. Each activitiy lasted half a day. I had not expected the courses to be very interesting but they were excellent. I also met new people as many of the tourists staying in the town joined in. You could do things like painting, acting, play-writing or computing. I met some students from Bulgaria who invited me to visit their country next year. You can imagine how excited I am, in fact, it was one of the best summer holidays I have ever had!
