Read the dialogue. Then read the questions and choose the correct answers. «Queen’s presents» ― Olga: What’s that, Stephen? Have you got a new camera? ― Stephen: Yeah. Just what I’ve always wanted. It’s a Christmas present from my parents. ― Olga: Really? I’m so happy for you. I love presents. I wish I were a queen, then I would get presents every day. ― Stephen: Believe it or not, Olga, but this is what happens in real life. I’ve read a magazine that for Queen Elizabeth, for example, every day is Christmas day. ― Olga: You’re kidding! ― Stephen: Not at all. And some of the presents are very unusual. Once an American hot-dog firm sent her a big box of hot-dogs with mustard. ― Olga: Oh, no! What did she do with them? ― Stephen: I have no idea. But it’s clear that presents can be a big problem. Once, when the Queen returned from Canada she brought home a mink coat, a large statue of a horse, a pair of snowshoes, a motor-boat, a piece of iron, a silver jug and a large painting of a power station. ― Olga: What does the Queen do with these presents? Where can she put a large statue? ― Stephen: There are 775 rooms in Buckingham Palace and the Queen tries to use all of her presents. And she gives many of her presents to museums, especially the British Museum. ― Olga: I’d so much like to go to London one day and visit the British Museum and see Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park and Big Ben. ― Stephen: I hope your dream will come true.
