IV.Read the text and choose True or False. Hi Mike! I’ve just had the most fantastic experience of my life. We went to Lapland! It was a school trip (one week instead of school) and it was fantastic. We went reindeer spotting with a Sami guide. He took us into the tundra where we walked for ages in the freezing cold, but suddenly, in the middle of all the empty snow, we saw a huge herd of reindeer. We visited a Sami camp too. We saw people making knives and leather clothes and houses – all from reindeer. Their houses seemed really warm and comfortable. We also went on a sled ride with husky dogs – with a driver. We went really fast and it was so exciting, and guess what – we found Father Christmas. He was hiding behind a tree (only joking!). One afternoon we drove north and stayed there deep in the Arctic Circle. We didn’t experience the midnight sun – that only happens in summer – but we saw the most amazing Northern Lights. They were fantastic, absolutely stunning. You see so many colours dancing around the sky. But I think the best thing was we stayed in an ICE hotel. Can you believe it … a hotel made just of ice? You sleep on ice beds, you sit on ice chairs … OK, with reindeer skins on top, and don’t worry – the hotel’s a nice, warm –5°C! The hotel’s in a place called Jukkasjarvi. It’s very small and quiet with just a museum and a restaurant. But the museum’s really interesting. It has an exhibition about the Sami way of life. This was absolutely the best trip I’ve ever been on. Go there too – you really must. Love

Hannah 1 2 3 4 Hannah went to Lapland in the school holidays. They didn’t find the reindeer quickly. Hannah liked the Sami houses. Hannah drove a sled. True / False True / False True / False True / False

She saw Father Christmas. They visited the Arctic Circle in the summer. Hannah was frightened by the Northern Lights. Hannah’s favourite thing was the ice hotel. The hotel wasn’t really warm. Jukkasjarvi is an exhausting place.
