A. READING COMPREHENSION.
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 tracking 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, leather clothes, and houses – all from reindeer.
Their houses were warm and comfortable. We also went on a dog sled ride with husky dogs and a driver. We
went really fast and it was so exciting, and guess what – we found Santa! He was hiding behind a tree (just
kidding!).
One afternoon, we drove north and stayed there deep in the Arctic Circle. We didn’t experience the midnight
sun – that only happens in the summer – but we saw the most amazing Northern Lights. They were fantastic,
absolutely stunning. You see so many colors dancing around the sky.
But I think the best thing was staying 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 –5C! The hotel’s in a place called Jukkasjärvi. 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. You really must go there someday!
Love,
Hannah
