PORTMEIRION
Last week I visited the village of Portmeirion in north Wales. During my childhood, I’d enjoyed holidays in
the area, which is one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. However, I’d never been to village and I had
always wanted to. I visited the village in the autumn, which was a good choice as it was less crowded
than in the summer. I’d read about its history and knew that the buildings were from many different styles
and periods but hadn’t realised how colourful they would be.
Portmeirion didn’t exist in the nineteenth century. The first building didn’t go up until 1926 and the last in
1976. It was built by Sir Clough Williams. From the age of 5, he dreamed of building his own village. He
wanted to show that it was possible to build a village in a lovely area and not spoil it. In 1919 he sailed
around the British coast for several months looking for a suitable spot. He visited 22 possible sites before
he found the place of his dreams at last, just 8 km away from his family home.
Sir Clough had to build cheaply and quickly and I discovered that some of the buildings even have
painted windows which were cheaper than putting in real windows! Some were built so that they look
grander than they are. The windows in the bell tower, for example, are smaller as you go up the tower, so
it seems taller from the ground than it really is.On my second day there I stood on the balcony of my hotel at dawn. As I looked over the Austrian-style
houses and Italian piazzas with the wonderful view of the Welsh coastline in the background, I realised
what Clough Williams was trying to do.
11 What is the writer trying to do?
A give information about where to stay in Portmeirion
B compare Portmeirion to other similar villages
C describe a visit to Portmeirion
D suggest what improvements could be made to Portmeirion
12 What surprised the writer about the village?
A the mixture of buildings
B the beauty of the area
C the number of visitors
D the different colours used
13 What was the aim of Clough Williams in 1919?
A to build a village without damaging the natural surroundings
B to make an existing village more beautiful
C to build a village as close to his home as possible
D to visit as many villages as possible before building his own
14 What did the writer find out about some of the buildings?
A They cost more to build than expected.
B They aren’t as big as they look.
C There was a mistake in their design.
D Some of the windows need replacing.
15. Which of these postcards did the write send form Portmeirion?
A It’s my first visit to the area, and I hadn’t realised how lovely this coast if. We hould have a holiday
together in Portmeirion.
B I discovered Portmeirion by chance. I’ve really enjoined finding out about its history and looking at the
unusual building.
C I hadn’t been to Portmeirion before but I’m pleased I came. I now realise what a special place it is.
D Portmeirion village is getting bigger all the time. I don’t think they should add any more new buildings.

The Adventure Race takes place in a different part of the world every year. This year, the race is in
Canada and cover 300 miles. If you take part, you’ll see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
The race begins on 14 July. Part of the race is by horse, part by mountain bike and part by boat. You also
walk and run so you need to have a wide range of outdoor skills.
Everyone must pass a skills test before they’re allowed to start the race.You’ll receive an equipment list
when you apply for the race. This changes from year to year and you need to remember that everything
on that list is essential. You supply your own food and drink so make sure you bring enough. If you don’t
bring plenty of food, you’ll be hungry! Each team consist of four members, men and women and you must
all come from one country. You need to be very fit but you also need to be able to work as part of a team.
The starting and finishing points of the race remain secret to all those taking part until approximately 24
hours before the start. Teams can then choose their route as long as they pass certain checkpoints. The
race takes between six and twelve days to complete. You won’t be allowed to continue if you fail to reach
each checkpoint by a certain time. Each team has a “passport” which will be stamped at each checkpoint
with the date and time of arrival. If one person is injured or decides not to carry on, the rest of the team
won’t be allowed to either.
The first team to cross the finishing line are the winners. You can’t win as an individual, only as one
member of the team you start with. There must be no more than 150 metres between the first and the last
member of the team reaching the finishing line. All four members receive a plane ticket worth 500$ to the
place of their choice anywhere in the world. The second team to cross the line receive climbing
equipment.
The races usually attract the attention of the local press so you should be willing to be photographed and
possibly interviewed. This is all good publicity for the next year! If you’re interested, we’ll send you an
application form as soon as we hear from you. Write to the address at the bottom of this page or look at
our website on www. adventurerace.com.
