The Historic City of Chester.

Chester is a small historic city in the North West of England. It is very near North Wales, which you can see from the city walls. It has a river, four main streets, a famous clock and many shops and buildings. Most of the shops aren’t very old, but tourists think they are because they look like buildings from six hundred years ago. Chester also has historic buildings like the Roman Amphitheatre, which is over two thousand years old and is one of the largest in England and a castle, which was built in 1070. In the middle of the city, there is a cathedral – some of it is one thousand years old. Opposite the cathedral is the market, where you can buy local meat, fruit, vegetables and cheeses. The Town Hall is next to the market and this is where walking tours around the city start. You can take a one-hour bus tour, and get off and on when you want during the day. There are even tours at night. Everyone who goes to Chester visits the clock on the bridge over Eastgate Street. It was built in 1897 and people say the clock is as good as London’s Big Ben. You can’t see North Wales or go shopping on the bridge, but you can take photos of the busy streets below. There’s lots for people of all ages and interests to do in Chester. Like many cities, it has a very interesting library with old books and photos. In the summer, there are races and water sports on a short part of the river. And if you like animals, Chester has got one of the biggest zoos in the UK.

Listen to it again and fill in the gaps.

Change

I think Change is the best magazine you can buy. It’s not very           and it’s got lots of interesting articles about         , fashion and make-up and you can find out about what        people are doing. The interviews are never boring and it doesn’t have lots of advertisements on every page. One thing I don’t like is reading the ‘School Problem Page’, but the        is sometimes interesting or       . I first     Change about two years ago, when my sister started reading it. Then my friend        it last year, and I started buying it six months ago. It’s great that all my friends read it as we can talk about the articles and do the competitions together. You        buy it. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Teen Fashion

I liked this magazine because it has lots of ideas about the latest fashion and sports clothes and it tells you where you can buy these on the internet. When I          buying it, I loved it, but now I think there are many                 for expensive clothes, and most teenagers don’t have a lot of money. Another problem is that the            with sports stars are usually         because the people aren’t very famous and their lives aren’t very interesting. Last month I got a free wooden keyring, but it broke when I used it. I get my Teen Fashion          every month and it’s not very expensive. But sometimes it can be very            to find in the shops so I think I’m going to stop buying it

Go

Go is a magazine for         people who are interested in nature, animals, sports, hobbies and science. The best          are about        because you can find out about different places in the world. Every week, Go has a fantastic short story about what happens when a group of friends practise playing a new sport, and there is always an article on     computer games. The magazine is quite expensive but it’s really good.
