C. Coventry Transport Museum

D. Drayton Manner 0 (Example)

E. Science Museum

F. Stratford Butterfly Farm

G. National Sea-Life Centre

0. One of the UK’s most popular attractions. The park is home to some of the scariest rides you’ll find like Storm Force 10 and Apocalypse, which has been voted the UK’s most frightening ride. D (Example)

1. The biggest exhibition in Europe. Don’t worry about the weather. Come and see these beautiful insects as they would live in their natural environment. Walk around a tropical rainforest and see them fly freely around you. And don’t forget to visit the Insect City, where you can view huge spiders and our own scorpion colony!

2. You wouldn’t expect to encounter a hammerhead shark in your visit in Brum city centre. But yes, it’s true; it is the only aquarium in the UK where you can see this creature together with our Sea Dragons from Australia and baby crocodiles from the Amazon. We guarantee an experience you’ll never forget.

3. 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 DeLorean 'Back to The Future' car. You can also design your own car and experience what breaking the sound barrier at 763 miles an hour feels like.

4. Considered by many people as Britain’s greatest Medieval Building. Visit the exhibitions, climb the towers, relax as you walk around the gardens, designed and created in 1753. Experience the preparations for battle in the Kingmaker Exhibition or see a Victorian Royal Weekend.

5. You will find four floors of practical exhibits and collections that will impress you, showing you things like how machines or how computers work. You can also learn about the space and the planets.

6. It is one of Britain’s friendliest open-air museums. Come to this museum and discover a traditional English village by the canal. Look around original old-time shops and houses, see how you feel down a mine and take a ride on an old horse-tram.

TASK 3

BATS IN THE WILD

Are you afraid of bats? Well, imagine two million bats flying over your head! That’s what you’ll see

if you visit the Old Tunnel just outside Fredericksburg, Texas. You’ll find it in a wildlife area some 24

kilometres south of Fredericksburg. The place covers about 16 acres of beautiful countryside and

includes a wonderful nature road which is open all the year round. You can spend your days hiking

and birdwatching, or learning about the plants and history of the zone with a local guide. But the

real attraction is the bats, so go to the observatory deck just outside the Old Tunnel about an hour

before the sun sets. You’ll see a few circling bats near the entrance, then suddenly the sky will get

dark when the bats come out of the tunnel. It takes over an hour for the bats to emerge! It’s like a

movie scene; in fact, spectators open their mouths in surprise. According to Park Ranger Ian

Parsons, “That old idea about bats flying into a person’s hair is just a myth. Their radar systems are

so precise, that they can ‘see’ perfectly well.”
