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!

this creature along with our Sea Dragons from Australia and baby stingrays from the Amazon. We
guarantee an experience you'll never forget.

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.

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.


C - Instructions
Read the text below and the questions on the right.
For each question choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D. ( 5x2=10 points )

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
Samantha Johnson
