Places to go this summer

See what's on in the West Midlands this summer:

A: Stratford Butterfly Farm

The biggest butterfly farm in Europe. Whatever the weather come and see these beautiful creatures
as they would live in their natural environment. Walk around a tropical rainforest as butterflies fly
freely around you. See them as they come into the world in the Caterpillar Room. And don't miss
Insect City where you can view huge spiders and our very own scorpion colony!

B: National Sea-Life Centre

You wouldn't expect to bump into a hammerhead shark whilst visiting Brum city centre. But yes, it's
true, The National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham is the only aquarium in the UK where you can see
this creature along with our Sea Dragons from Australia and baby stingrays from the Amazon. We
guarantee an experience you'll never forget.

C: Coventry Transport Museum

Coventry Transport Museum hosts the world's largest transport collection. A day out here will give you
the chance to see some of the earliest motor cars as well as more modern vehicles like the De Lorean
'back from the future' car. You can also design your own car and experience what breaking the sound
barrier at 763 miles an hour feels like.

D: Warwick Castle
Regarded by many as Britain's greatest Medieval Castle. Visit exhibitions, climb the castle towers,
relax as you walk around the gardens, designed and created in 1753 by Capability Brown.Experience
the preparations for battle in the Kingmaker exhibition or witness a Victorian Royal Weekend. And if
your interest is more in the darker side of the Castle's history visit The Castle Dungeon.

E: ThinkTank
At Thinktank you will find four floors of hands-on exhibits and historical collections that will amaze and
inspire you, showing you the science of the world all around us from the past, the present and the
future. From galleries and exhibitions to an exciting programme of events and activities, there is
something for everyone to enjoy, whether your interest is steam engines, looking into deepest space
or seeing how doctors perform life-saving surgery.

F: Drayton Manner
One of the UK's most popular attractions. The park is home to some of the scariest rides you'll find
like Stormforce 10 and Apocalypse, which has been voted the UK's most frightening ride. You'll also
find an indoor and outdoor play area and of course, Drayton Manor Zoo with over one hundred
different species, including twelve rare breeds from across the world. .

G: Hatton Country World

If you're keen on seeing unique crafts and craft work side-by-side with antique shops and a traditional
butchers shop, Hatton Country World is the place for you. As well as these wonderful shops you'll be
able to enjoy the Farm Park with many farm animals to help keep the kids entertained.

H: Black Country Museum

It's been called Britain's friendliest open-air museum. Come to Black Country Museum and discover
an old-fashioned village by the canal. Look around original old-fashioned shops and houses, see what
it's like down a mine and take a ride on a tramcar.
 Instructions
Look at the sentences on the right about how to drive a car.
Read the text below to decide if each statement is correct or incorrect.

How to Save Petrol and the Environment

We are all aware of the need to protect the environment but sometimes it's difficult
for us to do the right thing. For example, if you're a motorist the convenience of
jumping in the car to go somewhere is balanced against the knowledge of how
harmful each journey can be. But did you know that making a few simple changes
to your driving habits will not only do less damage to our world but will also save
you money and could even be good for your health?

Do you really need to take the car?

Try making more use of public transport. If the service is frequent and reliable
you'll soon get used to using buses and trains. In fact, for shorter journeys why not
take the opportunity to get into shape and go on foot.

Share the journey

How often do you see cars with just one occupant with the driver making the same
journey as others living nearby? Why not car share and half the cost of the
journey? There are several websites where people can swap details and make
arrangements to meet up.

Change your habits

When you must use the car plan your journey so you can go to all the places you
need to visit rather taking the car out again and again. If you get caught in a traffic
jam switch off the engine when you're stationary for a long time. Try not to brake
too sharply or accelerate too quickly as this will lead to you using up more fuel.
On cold mornings don't warm up the engine before you start your journey and
when you next put fuel in your car think about whether you really need to fill up
the tank. All that extra weight will put more pressure on the engine.

Servicing
Make sure you carry out basic maintenance like checking the tyre pressure
regularly. Finally, keep your car regularly serviced so that it runs as efficiently as
possible.

Steps like this will save you money and help you do your bit to protect the
environment.

1. Drivers don't care about the environment.

2. Changing the way you drive has more than one benefit.
3. The service on public transport is always good.

4. You should walk when going somewhere nearby.

5. If you travel with someone else it will save you money.

6. Avoid sharing personal details on the Internet.

7. Try to make one journey rather than lots of short ones.

8. Braking quickly is the safest way to drive.

9. Don't leave the car running before you start a journey.

10. Filling the car with fuel will save you money.
Dear Editor

I am writing with regards to the article 'Is the TV Dead?' that appeared in
your newspaper on the 4th March. The author claimed that with the rise
of the Internet, the TV was becoming less and less significant in our lives.

I find it very difficult to agree with this view. The TV is still the main way
most of us get our entertainment at home. It offers us the chance to see top
musical artists, great films and documentaries and occasionally, thanks to
important televised events, it has the power to bring the whole nation and
all ages together in a way the Internet never could.

Your article was particularly critical of the TV for the poor quality of
programmes available on the many channels we now have. It is certainly
true that many of the channels offer nothing more than repeats or low
budget programmes. However, I would argue that the majority of content
on the Internet is also of questionable quality. I agree with the writer that
it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, but I'm
sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to the News on TV in the evening
just as much.

The writer is correct in stating that the Internet has become our major
source for research and I think this is its main strength. However,
criticising the TV for not being as good is totally unfair. Information
programmes like documentaries are made for their potential as
entertainment not as research tools and as such will continue to be
popular with viewers.

So in conclusion I don't think the writer should be so quick to write the TV

off. On the contrary, I think it has many more years left in it!

Yours sincerely

1. Why is the person writing this letter to the newspaper?

to make a complaint
to offer a different point of view
to encourage people to watch more TV
to persuade people to not use the Internet

2. What do we learn about the writer's opinion of TV?

It is useful as a reference tool
It is excellent entertainment
 It is suffering because of the Internet
The quality of programmes is a problem

3. Which of the following is seen as a problem with TV?

the quality of some of the programmes
the lack of entertainment programmes
its poor use as a reference tool
its unpopularity with younger people

4. What does the writer think is the best use of the Internet?
to buy products
to be entertained
to get the latest news
to find things out

5. Which of the following words describes how the writer feels about TV?
pleased
excited
confused
worried
