What to see in … Bristol

The historic ship SS Great Britain is one of the UK’s top tourist attractions. Each year, between
150,000 and 200,000 tourists visit the ship museum in Bristol in the south-west of England. At
nearly 100 metres long and just under 10 metres high, the ship is an impressive sight, but it also
has a fascinating story to tell.
When it was built in the early 1840s, SS Great Britain was the longest passenger ship in the world.
It spent the first years of its life carrying passengers between Liverpool and New York, and then
from 1852 to 1882 it took people to Australia to start a new life there. After that, the ship
transported coal to the west coast of America, but in 1886, it was seriously damaged by fire while
at sea. It managed to reach Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where it was used for the next 50
years to store goods such as coal and wool. By 1937, the ship was no longer safe, and it was taken
to a place off the coast and sunk.
However, SS Great Britain had not been forgotten. Back in the UK, engineer Ewan Corlett knew its
importance in the history of sailing and made a plan to bring it home. With financial support from
millionaire Jack Hayward, the ship was raised onto a huge platform and then pulled by several
small boats the 8,000 miles to the place of its birth. When it had been repaired and returned to its
former condition, it opened to the public as a museum. After further repairs at the beginning of
the millennium, SS Great Britain opened its doors once again in 2005. Today visitors can
experience life on a 19th century ship from both above and below the water.

1 SS Great Britain is very popular with .

2 The ship’s length is not quite metres.
3 The ship’s destination on the first of its journeys was .
4 It stopped carrying passengers in .
5 was the person who came up with the money to bring SS Great Britain home.
6 The ship travelled back to Bristol on a .

J Writing: Mediation
You have 30 minutes to read the text and write an email. Write up to 120 words.
Imagine that you and a friend are planning a walking holiday in Scotland. You read this article about a
type of accommodation. Write an email to your friend and:
 explain what a bothy is, and what you must do if you want to stay in one
 mention the advantages of this type of accommodation
 mention the disadvantages.

Accommodation in the Highlands

Are you planning a walking holiday in Scotland this year? If you’re going to the Highlands – the
remote north of the country – why not stay in a bothy? It’s a type of accommodation with a
difference!

What is a bothy?
Bothies are small stone houses in the Scottish countryside. A lot of them are old cottages that
have been empty for a long time but have been repaired and made comfortable. They are usually
in remote but very beautiful places. They aren’t near roads, so you have to walk to them.

What are they like inside?

Bothies are not luxurious! You need to think of them as a type of camping. There is a space for
sleeping, but there aren’t any beds. You’ll need to bring your own camping equipment and
sleeping bags. You can light a fire inside a bothy. However, there is no electricity or running water.

How do I book a bothy?

You can’t! You just arrive, take out your sleeping bag and find a space! The bothy might be empty,
or there might be other people inside already. You won’t know until you get there. Don’t worry,
though – people will always make space for you if you arrive late!

How much do they cost?

They’re free! But if you burn some wood on the fire, you should collect some more and leave it
for the next visitors. You must take all your rubbish away with you, of course.
