If you ask any young English person where he would like to go for a day, he will say “A theme park, please!” So after the exams(考试), some English teachers take their students to a theme park like Alton Towers for the day. It’s a way of thanking the students for working hard.

  Every year, the students, aged 16 at Southside School, go to Alton Towers when they have done their GCSE exams. Let’s ask some students about their day at the park.

Peter: “I didn’t like getting up early. We must meet at school at six in the morning to get on the bus. The journey took 3 hours and we sang a lot of songs when we were on the bus, so it was fun. Then we had several hours at the park.”

  Sara: “I was afraid because some of the rides were too fast and high. But I did go on three rides. My best friend, Karen, had to sit down beside me. I could not go on the ride alone. ”

  Alan: “My cap flew away with the wind, so a kind man picked it up and gave it to me. I took some good pictures there. I felt really happy”

  Sue: “I went to the water ride four times and I was very wet(湿的).”
  Graham: “I went on the new ride with Jackie. She was afraid so she closed her eyes all the time. The water ride is the best.”

  Jane: “I love it all. And I want to go again, even if I have to go some more exams first! I wish the rides were faster!

Laura: “I felt excited the night before I went there. I got up very early that morning. I enjoyed every minute of it.”
