1. _C. Home to royalty_ Edinburgh Castle, situated high above the city on Castle Rock, was once the home of the kings and queens of Scotland. The 700-year-old Crown of Scotland is still on display there, and the Royal apartments include a tiny room where the future king of England, James I, was born in 1566.
2. _B. Used by the Army_ The Castle was the site of many battles with the English. Over the centuries it survived many attempts to destroy it, that is why many Scots see it as a symbol of their own survival.
3. _D. Ancient traditions live on _ Visitors to the Castle will see a military guard at the gate, because the castle is still the headquarters of the army’s Scottish Division. The famous Military Tattoo is also held here every August. This is a spectacular three-week festival of bagpipe and band music, marching and displays by Scottish regiments.
4. _A. A lot to see_ Edinburgh Castle houses exhibitions of Scottish history and a collection of armour and weapons. As well as what there is to see inside, the castle’s hilltop position offers the best views of the city.

At last holidays came! I was very happy!  I didn't have  to get up early in the morning and run to school. I could stay in the bed till midday. But I didn't want to sleep. There were a lot of things to do. The weather was fine so my friends and I went for a walk every day. It was fun! Then I spent a month in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and ate a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays. We played football and tennis every day! There is a small river near the forest and we swam when the weather was fine. It was greaat!  I liked my holidays very much.   

Наконец наступили  каникулы! Я был очень счастлив!  Я не должен был вставать рано утром и бежать в школу. Я мог  оставаться в постели до полудня. Но я не хотел спать. Было так много дел. Погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили гулять каждый день. Это было весело! Затем я провел месяц в деревне, где  живут мои дедушка и бабушка . Это было здорово. Я пил молоко и ел много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня. У меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы. Мы даже играли в футбол и теннис! Около леса есть небольшая речка. Мы купались, когда погода была хорошая. Это было здорово!  Мне очень понравились мои каникулы.
