If you like snow and ice, maybe you should stay at the Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada. But you can
only stay in this hotel during the winter.
Why? Because this hotel is only made of ice and snow!This amazing hotel is built every December. It has 32 rooms and 80 people can stay there each night. The hotel even has a movie theatre, art gallery, and church. Of course, all of these parts of the hotel are made of ice.
Because this hotel is so unusual, it is becoming very popular. Some couples have even got married in the hotel's ice church. But all these guests keep their winter coats on! Because of all the ice, the temperature inside the hotel is always between -2℃ and -5℃. Surprisingly, sleeping is not a problem in the freezing cold hotel rooms. Every guest gets a special cold-weather sleeping bag and some fur blankets. These keep them warm until morning.

Welcome to Highdown School. Firstly I'd like to say something about your life here. Most of you already have a place in one of our school flats. If you have any problems, please ask for help from the school office. It's open from nine until four Monday to Friday. During the holidays it's open, mornings only, on Monday and Thursday. However, if you have an emergency, you can contact somebody on 978 5423. Moving on now... the school has excellent facilities to help you with your studies. The Learning Centre has more than 50,000 library books. There are also 50 computers so you can use the Internet. There are plenty of places to eat at the school, like the Hungry Café on the first floor where you can have snacks including sandwiches and salads, or, if you prefer a hot meal you can go to the Food Hall. You'll find it next to the bookshop, on the ground floor. There are also machines around the school, where you can buy crisps, chocolate and drinks. OK. I hope all of you enjoy your time at our school.
