There are many historic monuments in Edinburgh. One of them is an unusual monument to Walter Scott, a well-known __________________.

WRITE

The city streets are usually full of noisy tourists with cameras but if you want a quiet holiday, you can have it too - the beautiful and __________________ countryside is just round the corner.

“What’s wrong, Jason?”

“I __________________ my key and I can’t get into my house.”

I explained that someone __________________ the book.

 “And how did you chat or send your e-mails without computers?” he asked his mother.

She smiled: “We __________________ each other e-mails. And there were no networks.”

NOT/SEND

She also said that it __________________ fun to communicate face-to-face, to play out-of-doors and to visit friends’ homes.
