Questions 11-14
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

Write your answers in boxes 11-14 on your answer sheet.

11. How far back does the Greenshaw estate go?

12. What has the current owner improved?

13. What was unusual about Sir Edward's guests?

14. What has recently changed about the way Greenshaw presents former garden staff?

(A) is correct. Nick says the Greenshaw estate dates back to the fourteenth century.

(B) is incorrect. The original house was replaced later.

(C) is incorrect. Most buildings date from the eighteenth century, not the estate as a whole.

Associated Text:
The estate includes the main house, glasshouses, walled garden, parkland and herbarium, and it dates back to the fourteenth century.

(A) is incorrect. The walled garden still looks much as it always has.

(B) is correct. Nick says the current owner has done a great deal of work to the rose beds.

(C) is incorrect. New glasshouses are mentioned as changes made by previous owners.

Associated Text:
The walled garden looks much as it's always done, although the current owner has done a great deal of work to the rose beds.

(A) is correct. Sir Edward welcomed people whether they were rich or poor, as long as they were interested in plants.

(B) is incorrect. He wanted to escape politics.

(C) is incorrect. Visitors came from across Europe.

Associated Text:
Unusually for his time, he didn't care whether his guests were rich or poor, as long as they had a real interest in plants.

(A) is incorrect. This feature replaced the old audio guide.

(B) is incorrect. Nick says photographs do not give much of an idea of staff working lives.

(C) is correct. Nick says visitors now see volunteers dressed as nineteenth-century garden staff doing their work.

Associated Text:
Photographs of course don't give much of an idea, so instead, as you go round the estate, you'll see volunteers dressed up as nineteenth century garden staff going about their work.

Questions 15-20
Which activity is offered at each of the following locations on the estate?
  1. shopping
  2. watching plants being propagated
  3. seeing old gardening equipment
  4. eating and drinking
  5. starting a trip
  6. seeing rare plant species
  7. helping to look after plants
  8. using gardening tools

Write the correct letter A-H next to questions 15-20.

15. tropical greenhouse

16. alpine house

17. herbarium

18. orangery

19. potting shed

20. walled garden

The correct answer is D because the tropical greenhouse is now used for lunch, afternoon tea, coffee and cake, so it is for eating and drinking.

Associated Text:
Until recently, the tropical greenhouse was where exotic fruit was grown for the family's table. It's now the place to go for lunch, or afternoon tea, or just a cup of coffee and a slice of homemade cake.

The correct answer is C because the alpine house contains the collection of old gardening tools, so visitors can see old gardening equipment there.

Associated Text:
The big stone building that dominates the herbarium courtyard is the alpine house, and this is where you'll find our collection of old gardening tools.

The correct answer is G because visitors can help staff stake and tie up young plants in the herbarium, which means helping to look after plants.

Associated Text:
The herbarium itself is also made of stone, and it's where you can help our staff stake and tie up young plants in the propagation room.

The correct answer is A because the orangery is now used for buying gifts, books, jams, chutneys and candles, so the activity is shopping.

Associated Text:
Fruit no longer grows in the orangery. Instead, this is the place to go to buy gifts, books, our own jams and chutneys, and scented candles made from our own herbs.

The correct answer is E because outside the potting shed visitors start the horse-drawn carriage tour of the parkland and walled garden.

Associated Text:
Outside the potting shed, which is the only brick building, you can climb into a horse drawn carriage for a lovely relaxing tour of the parkland and walled garden.

The correct answer is F because the walled garden contains orchids and tropical plants that are rarely grown now, so visitors see rare plant species there.

Associated Text:
You'll see types of orchids and tropical plants that are hardly ever grown in gardens these days. We're helping to preserve them, to stop their numbers falling further.

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the talk.
