Dear students, We hope you can come on our school trip next weekend. Unfortunately, the Science and Technology Museum is closed for renovations（整修）on Saturday, but we have tickets for St Fagans National History Museum instead. The good news is that the entry is free, so the trip will just cost S10 each.
