Could you help me with the following key word transformation please?
I must use between 2 and 5 words, includind the word giving. Thanks.
I was surprised to discover that the hotel was a long way from the city centre.
Turned
To.........................that the hotel was a long way from the city centre.

Are you sure it starts with 'to', not 'it'? The obvious choice is 'It turned out that...'

Yes, it starts with 'to'. But perhaps it's a mistake?
This sentence appears in a FCE test.

'my surprise, it turned out' 5 words.

Thank you tdol. I prepare the FCE and I have problems to transform some sentences.

If you have any more problems, feel free to ask. Good luck with the exam- when are you planning on taking it?
