Task 1. You are going to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

Leeds Castle is one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain. The castle has been on the site since 1119, although it has been rebuilt several times. The modem castle dates back to the 19^thcentury. It was built on the islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds. It has been open to the public since 1976.

The castle and its grounds are a major leisure destination for both locals and tourists. It has a maze, a grotto, a golf course, and the world’s only museum of dog collars. The maze consists of 2,400 yew trees, and when viewed from the centre, part of its plan mirrors a queen’s crown. It is set in a square, and yet, when seen from the mound or the air, the pattern is circular. This is unique to Leeds Castle and adds difficulty to solving it.
