Homework:
Find
and correct six mistakes in the review:
I’ve just
finished Long Way Round, a book about an incredible around-the-world
journey written by two British actors, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. The story
has started one day when McGregor was looking at a map of the world. He has
realized that it was possible to ride all the way around the world by
motorbike. He suggested the idea over dinner to his good friend, Boorman. Boorman
has immediately agreed. The result, 20,000 miles and three months later, is a
very entertaining travel book that I didn’t want to put down. On the journey they
have experienced terrible weather and road conditions and they have had all
sorts of adventures, including a meeting with Mongolian nomads and gun-carrying
Ukrainians. Long Way Round is action-packed and was a real success for
the two actors.
