TASK 1
Read the text about Newquay written by Alex.
My town Newquay
by Alex, 14
I live in Newquay. It’s a small town on the Atlantic coast in the south of England. It
has got great beaches and it is the best place to surf in the UK. There are a lot of
surf schools where you can learn how to surf. I go surfing with my friends every
weekend. My favourite place is Fistral Beach.
I love Newquay because there are a lot of other things to do as well as surfing. If
you like water sports, you can go kayaking, water-skiing and coasteering.
Coasteering is different because it is rock climbing, jumping into the sea and
swimming in the same activity, but you should always go with a special instructor.
If you like animals, you can also visit the Blue Reef Aquarium and see lots of different
fish and even sharks. You can also go horse riding on the beach and visit Newquay
Zoo. There are lots of other attractions too like mini golf and bowling. Come and
see for yourself!
