another level: you need to be able to readmeaning, and organization in a text.

Exercise

The building, completed in l785, was erected by the
enigmatic Frederick Hervey, Earl of Bristol and Bishop ofDerry, in honour of Mrs. Mussenden, the Earl's cousin. TheEarl Bishop used the folly, which became known as theMussenden Temple, as a library. Standing dangerously onthe edge of a sheer drop into the North Sea, the temple
dominates the coastline to the West. The structure'sclassical simplicity, with its dome and Corinthian columns,is in stark contrast to the haunting Celtic landscape.
