2 . Keep Your Goal in Sight
My dear Susan,
Here I am in the town of Livingstone close to Victoria Falls _______ was named after an earlier Queen of England, Victoria. There’s only one large-sized hotel _______ it’s full of atmosphere. The Falls themselves _______ the widest waterfall in the world with the largest _______ of falling water. It’s African name means “the smoke that thunders” and it has the most diverse wildlife found close to _______ waterfall.
As soon as I got to my hotel I was _______ to get my first glimpse of the river, but as our tour group walked along the winding path _______ the rainforest, I began to feel _______
As we got nearer I became filled with anxiety. My hands were _______ in sweat and my legs began to ________. As you know I hate heights. ________ our guide had some appreciation of what I was feeling and did not ________ me to the front but let me approach the walkway across the Falls slowly. ________ I saw, when I did look, was spectacular. A fountain of water poured over the edge to a deep drop. A permanent rainbow ________ above the spray ________ by the water as it hit the bottom of the Falls. The small drops of water seemed to form a gentle, wet fog around the people ________ they approached the edge. I gazed in wonder across to the other side of Victoria Falls where Zimbabwe ________. ________we were in Zambia and only a short distance________was a country where David Livingstone had done much of his exploring.
So if you are planning a holiday this year, come and visit Victoria Falls. It would certainly be __________ it.
Much love,
Clive
