For each question, choose the correct answer.

These teenagers want to visit a sea-life centre.

Read and underline words that tell what their interests are. Then read the descriptions of some sea life centres and decide which would be the most suitable for each of them.

A. Waves of life – Come and see a wide variety of warm and cold sea environments. The creatures you’ll find here are so small that you might not have noticed them living on the beach. You can also see the most beautiful fish that live in our oceans. We’ll teach you how to use a camera to get the greatest shots!

B. Rolling in the deep – You can see creatures from both warm and cold waters in here. We have huge glass tanks for a better look, and even better than that, try going into the water and share a swim with the fish, our trained staff will help you with that.
We also got a section with the rarest fish you’ve ever seen. These fish are normally found in the deepest waters so a 30-min talk on them is given every hour.

C. Splash – Looking for family fun? – Our huge swimming pool with a glass wall in the middle dividing the penguin area can help you with that. You can see penguins swim in the pool house next door while you are in yours. Bring your goggles for an underwater look. They’ll let you see what catching their food is like.

D. FishinPic – Here we have the rarest fish you’ve ever seen and the most beautiful too. You can’t use cellphones or cameras in here, but there is a shop where you can get amazing pictures taken by a group of professional photographers. At the end of your visit, have a great time at our fantastic warm pool.

E. Bright – We are dedicated to studying creatures living in low-temperature areas; our groups of penguins is an example of it.
Enjoy seeing our great photography display on creatures diving for their food at supper time! There are quick workshops on using cameras and filming equipment to get good shots of fish, and an additional painting workshop at weekends.

F. Mar – Would you like to help us protect our oceans? Come and see what’s been done about it!
Enjoy our one-hour presentations about rock pools full of tiny creatures that live just a few metres away from the sea and our current work on helping sharks live healthily.

G. Ocean Watcher – Come for a science look and enjoy watching films about waters round the world and the environmental problems that marine wildlife’s facing.
Many things to learn about, souvenirs and brochures full of interesting and detailed information.

H. Live it – We have a rock pool display full of the smallest sea creatures you’ve seen, such as shrimp and starfish. Learn about the essentials for helping them have a good life and pollution effects on it, and... what about handling them? You can do that too!
And... you can’t miss one of our most popular attractions at lunchtime, watch how penguins and seals have theirs.
