(use) for instant energy, and fructose, which (9)............... (last) longer as a source of energy. The sugar in fruit is mainly fructose. So when we (10)...............

A holiday in Scotland
| Some friends of mine decided to go on holiday to Scotland. They asked me if I was wanted to go too, but I had already arranged to go to Italy. I told them so that I had been to Scotland before, so they asked me to give them some ideas. I advised them to take up warm clothes and raincoats. If I were like you, I'd always carry umbrellas!' I told them. 'I doubt that whether you'll have any sunny days.' I didn't see them again until was after their holiday. They were all very sun-tanned, and they told to me that they had had very hot weather. 'If we had been taken your advice, we would have made a terrible mistake,' they said me. 'Luckily we were told us before we left that it was very hot in Scotland. It is said to they have been the hottest summer ever! | \/. was 1).. 2).. 3).. 4).. 5).. 6).. 7).. 8).. 9).. 10).. 11).. 12).. 13)... 14) 15).. |
