4. Reading. a) Read the text and mark the sentences T (true) or F (false). Text: No trip to central Australia is complete without a visit to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The park covers 1,325 square kilometres and contains Uluru, a 348-metre-high rock. Uluru is very important to the native people of the area, the Anangu. It is part of their cultural history and traditional beliefs. The Anangu people believe they mustn’t climb Uluru, but they don’t stop visitors from going up. However, they prefer them to walk around the bottom of the rock. In the park there is a cultural centre with information and activities for visitors. Here visitors can find guides who can take them around Uluru and tell them about the history of the rock. Walks around Uluru take about 3 hours. Visitors must have water with them and should drink one litre of water for every hour they walk. They also shouldn’t walk during the hottest time of the day. There are walking paths in the park and it’s a good idea for them to stay on the paths so as not to get lost or disturb the park’s ecosystem. They should also wear long trousers and protective boots in case they come across a snake. The park is open from 5 am to 9 pm in the summer and 6:30 am to 7:30 pm in the winter. Camping is not allowed inside the park, but there are many hotels just outside of the park. A day at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is an unforgettable adventure in the great Australian outback. 1 Visitors can climb Uluru with the native people. 2 There are guides at the cultural centre. 3 Visitors must take a guided tour to walk around Uluru. 4 Visitors don’t have to take water with them on walks in the park. 5 Visitors must stay on park paths. 6 There are dangerous reptiles in the park. 7 Visitors can’t sleep in the park at night.
