Bill Bryson

I was born in the United States but I have written several travel books about England. I lived there with my wife and four children for 20 years, but for the last three years we have lived in the United States. Our children are now learning about life in the United States. I’m sure they will be happier because they have lived in two countries. I like Britain and I want to return, but my daughter, Felicity, is going to start college here soon, so it won’t be for another four years.

I have just been to England for six weeks to work on a radio programme about the English language and also to talk about the book I’ve just written. Most writers don’t like doing this; they don’t like traveling around the country, selling their book. I don’t mind it. I like visiting new places and meeting lots of people. It’s very different from the life I have in the United States when I’m writing. In England, people drove me around in big cars and I stayed in expensive hotels. It was good because I didn’t have to pay any bills. Everyone was kind to me and it was fun.

0. Bill has written about a country he has visited.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say. The answer is: A

21. Bill returned to the United States after living in England for a long time.

Hi,

It's a good blog and its name is very beautiful.
This blog is very useful for me, specially KET readings. I want to solve them and read other readings in this.

These days, my lessons become very hard because in my course(computer hardware), we must imagine what happen in a computer and in computer-base world every thing is 0 and 1, and we must convert to 0 and 1 anything that we want to tell it.
I'm in the third year of university, next year I will finish university and I must give a project to my professor, if he accepts it I will get BA.

I hope that I can improve my english in this year because I need it a lot.
Thank you for interesting and useful blog. I thank Sue too because of her helps.
