Re Question 5.


I went to the Cornish Cider Farm and I did a tour of the orchards, some had bottles over the bud, when ready this was removed from the tree, filled with in-house made Brandy and sold.

Question number 7 is missing one punctuation mark - Capital letters, which show the beginning of a sentence (also to start names, days, and places).
