PASSAGE 11
Here on Skye I do more than deliver letters and parcels. There aren’t any buses or trains on this part of
island, so the post office also runs passenger service. The bus which I drive has eleven seats, so people
from the farms and villages can get into Broadford for shopping or for work. I live in Elgol, a small
village on the south west coast of the island. I leave Elgol post office every morning at 8 a.m and drive
my bus 24 km to Broadford. I stop for passengers and empty the five post boxes along the road. I also
pick up the school children that live along my route and take them to the school in Broadford. There’s a
school for young children in Elgol, but the older children have to travel into the town. It usually takes me
about three hours to finish my round. I take shopping to some of the elderly people who can’t always get
to Broadford. I deliver milk and newspapers six days a week. I shouldn’t deliver animals but sometimes
take a puppy or a rabbit as a passenger. The Post Office charges people, of course, for all these extra
services. It’s 70p to travel from Elgol to Broadford and it costs 10p to deliver a pint of milk. People often
ask me how I like living here on Skye, especially since I come from the city. Well, it’s difficult to explain,
but here I feel part of the community; it’s good to know that you are helping people. I’d hate to live in the
city again.

LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT
Question 1:
children to school in Elgo
Thông tin ở đoạn sau:” I also pick up the school ... into the town.” (Tơi cũng đón các cháu học sinh sống
ở dọc lộ trình của mình và đưa chúng đến trường học ở Broadford. Có một ngơi trường cho học sinh nhỏ
tuổi ở Elgol, nhưng những đứa trẻ lớn hơn phải đi vào trong thành phố.)
Question 2:
It’s got several shops.
Thông tin ở đoạn sau: “It usually takes me about three hours ... deliver a pint of milk.” (Thường mất
khoảng 3 giờ đồng hồ tơi mới kết thúc lộ trình của mình được. Tơi mang hàng hóa cho những người lớn
tuổi không thể luôn đến Broadford; tôi chở sữa và báo 6 ngày 1 tuần. Tôi không nên chở động vật, nhưng
đôi khi tôi cũng chở một chú cún con hoặc một con thỏ như hành khách. Bưu điện thu phí của mọi người,
tất nhiên rồi, cho tất cả các dịch vụ thêm này. Mất 70p để đi từ Elgo đến Broadford và mất 10p để vận
chuyển 1 pint sữa.)
Question 3:
“It usually takes me about three hours to finish my round.” 3h : 2 = 1,5h
Question 4:
“It’s 70p to travel from Elgol to Broadford and it costs l0p to deliver a pint of milk.” 70 + 10= 80
Question 5:
I leave Elgol post office every morning at 8 a.m and drive my bus 24 km to Broadford.”
