Reading Practice A. Read the passage. This Year's Vacation Dear Mom, I have made a decision about this year's vacation. I am going to spend it in an ancient castle. The castle is in the southern part of England. This area, which was once part of an empire, has many places to visit. I have rented a room in the castle for a week. Outside, there is an attractive, giant garden to explore. I will be able to view all of the incredible flowers and plants there. I prefer visiting gardens to going to the beach. My flight will leave in the evening from here. It will arrive the following afternoon. I will start packing a bit closer to the date I am leaving. I will write to you from the castle! All my love, Susan
