In Washington, there is also a big decorated tree in front of the White House. People come from many cities to admir the trees and the gaily3 decorated store windows on the principal4 avenues of large cities.

Question on Text B
7. Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading and retell the story to your partner.
Going to the Theater If you want to be certain of seeing a play in London, you have to book your seat in advance. You can buy your tickets either at a Theatre Ticket Agency5 or at the Box Office in the theatre itself. tt is very rarely that you will be lucky enough to get a ticket five minutes before the play begins.
If you go in a large party it is not always possible for all of you to sit in the same part of the theatre. Some will have to sit in the Stalls6, others in the Dress Circle and some in the Upper Circie. These seats are the least expensive of the three. Seats in a Box or the Front Stalls are the most expensive.
