Victoria's Travel


Victoria is a girl who loves going on holidays to foreign cities. She has never repeated, but she loves dreams what she is going to do in the next trip. The other day she was talking with her best friend, Aretha,  to travel to a country in Asia: “If you have more time in your work, we can go there during 2 weeks”, said Victoria to her friend. Aretha agreed with her, but she said to her: “Maybe it’s better to go around Europe. If we travel around Europe, we will enjoy better our trip.” Victoria agreed that if they travel near their city, they will pass more time in the city and not travelling.
Suddenly, Aretha remembered one thing: “We can visit my friend Paola if we travel to Rome. Have you ever been in Rome?” Victoria asked her: “No, I have never been in Rome. And if we go there, we can visit some other Italian cities too.”  So, finally they agreed to go there.
When they were booking all the travel, they found some problems to choose the best hotel for them. “If we choose the Rome’s Hotel, we will be so far from the city centre”, said Victoria. “It’s true,” said Aretha, “but if we choose the Piazza Spagna Hotel, we will need to go to the train station by public transport to visit the other cities.”

Finally, they decided: “It’s cheaper to book in the Piazza Spagna Hotel, so if we choose this one, we can travel in another moment to Italy”, said Victoria. “It’s true”, said Aretha” and if we only visit Rome, we will enjoy more the city and our travel.” So they decided to go only to Rome and, if they have time in another moment, they will visit the rest of the Italian cities.

Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap. How the recycling symbol was created  Gary Anderson designed a symbol which we see everywhere nowadays I studied engineering at the University of Southern California at a time when there was a lot of emphasis in the United States on training young people to be engineers. That said, I eventually switched to architecture. I just couldn't get a grasp on electronics and archircture seemed more concrete to me. It was around that time that I saw a poster advertising a design competition being run by the Container Corporation of America. The idea was to create a symbol to represent recycled paper. One of my college requirements had been a graphic design course so I thhought I'd give it a go. It didn't take me long to come up with my design: only a day or two. 1.___.

The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while Norwich itself had a year of celebration in 1994 to marl the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter.
