DRIVING ACROSS THE MACKINAC BRIDGE

The Mackinac Bridge in Michigan is one of the longest bridges in the world. Occasionally,
in windy weather, it can move as much as 35 feet from side to side, so driving on it can be
frightening. However, if you feel uncomfortable about the idea of driving over the bridge,
we strongly advise you to stop at the yellow phone booth before crossing the bridge and call
906-643-7600 for help. One of our crew members will then drive you across, so you'll enjoy
your trip without worrying. There is no additional fee for this.

Tekst 2.
"Good morning. I'm looking for a covered bridge in this area. Do you think you could help me
find it?" said a man to Francesca, who was standing near the porch.
"I'll be glad to guide you there," answered Francesca, and climbed into his pickup. "Turn right,"
she pointed.
"I'm Robert Kincaid, a photographer working for National Geographic. I'm here to take pictures
of covered bridges in Madison County. I've located six of them, but I guess there's at least one
more, and it's supposed to be out in this direction."
"I think it's the Roseman Bridge you are looking for," said Francesca. After half an hour
she said, "There it is." The old bridge with a red roof sat across a small stream. Robert Kincaid
smiled.

AN UNUSUAL CEREMONY

The authorities didn't put off the opening ceremony for a bridge over a canal in the small town
of Jested, although the bridge was a metre too short. They discovered this four days before
the ceremony. However, the invitations had already been sent, so the official opening
of the bridge took place at the previously announced time.
"We ordered a bridge to go from one side of the canal to the other. Someone made a mistake
during the construction and now the bridge can't be used. Engineers say it will be ready in two
months. But we won't organise a second ceremony," the mayor of Jested said.
