1. Make a crossword puzzle using the following information about London Zoo.

London Zoo

London Zoo is one of the most important zoos in the world. There are over 12,000 animals at London Zoo and that is not counting every ant in the colony! Its main concern is to breed threatened animals in captivity. This means we might be able to restock the wild, should disaster ever befall the wild population.

Partula Snail, Red Crowned Crane, Arabian Oryx, Golden Lion Tamarin, Persian Leopard, Asiatic Lion and Sumatran Tiger are just some of the species London Zoo is helping to save.

That is why it is so important that we fight to preserve the habitats that these animals live in, as well as eliminate other dangers such as hunting exotic animals and selling furs. But we aim to make your day at London Zoo a fun and memorable time, despite the serious side to our work.

In the Ambika Paul Children’s Zoo, for instance, youngsters can learn a new love and appreciation for animals because they see and touch them close up. They can also learn how to care for favourite pets in the Pet Care Centre.

Then there are numerous special Highlight events which take place every day, from unforgettable pony rides to feeding times and spectacular animal displays. You will get to meet keepers and ask them what you are interested in about the animals they care for, as well as the ins and outs of being a keeper at London Zoo.

Whatever you decide, you will have a great day. We have left no stone unturned to make sure you do!

Partula Snail

Arabian Oryx

Red Crowned Crane

Golden Lion Tamarin

2. Make an advertisement of Sherlock Holmes’ Museum using the information below.

Sherlock Holmes' Museum

In the 1880s a young doctor sat waiting for new patients who never came. To pass the time, he wrote stories about a man who was very good at solving crimes. These stories were so popular that the doctor decided to give up medicine and become a writer instead. The doctor was Arthur Conan Doyle and his' creation was Sherlock Holmes.

Holmes and his famous friend Doctor Watson shared rooms at 221b Baker Street.

Their landlady was the long-suffering Mrs. Hudson. She had to put up with strange visitors, revolver practice indoors, chemical experiments and late-time violin playing.

In 1990, a museum was at last opened at 221b Baker Street, though it should have happened long ago. After all, 221b Baker Street is the world’s most famous address and people have been writing to it for more than 100 years.

In The Sherlock Holmes' Museum you step back a hundred years in time. It is unique. You have a feeling as if the great detective had just left the room for a moment with Dr. Watson, and Mrs. Hudson is somewhere in the backrooms, and you'll see her entering the room with a tray of tea cups.

Everything in the museum reminds us of the stories we know so well. It is filled with things which Holmes and Watson would have had — Holmes' violin, his deerstalker and pipe, the Persian slipper in which he kept his tobacco, unanswered letters pinned to the wall with a knife, his magnifying glass... Dr. Watson's diary contains hand-written notes and extracts from "The Hound of the Baskervilles".

3. Make a quiz using the following information about Big Ben.

Big Ben

Big Ben is the nickname of a bell that hangs in the clock tower at the northern end of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, England. Officially, the tower itself is called Elizabeth Tower. It was previously known as just the Clock Tower, but was renamed in September 2012 as a tribute to the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. However, most people, including those that live in London, call the tower "Big Ben" because it is very large.

Designed by Edmund Beckett Denison, the clock took 13 years to build and it was completed in 1859. It has worked continuously since then except for a few months in 1976 when it broke down and had to be fixed.

The Elizabeth Tower is over 96 metres high and the turret clock mechanism that drives the clock alone weighs about 5 tons. The clock on it has four faces that are 2.7 m in diameter, making it one of the largest in the world for a clock that chimes and strikes every hour. The figures on the clock face are about 0.61 m long and the minute spaces are 0.30 m long.

The bell known as Big Ben weighs 13 tons and is the biggest of the five bells in the Elizabeth Tower. Big Ben only sounds at the top of every hour, and at that time it rings once for every hour (for example, it rings three times at 3 o'clock). The other four bells in the tower are smaller and play a short melody every 15 minutes. This melody, which is broadcasted live on BBC Radio 4 at 6 pm and midnight every day, can be heard in many other clocks around the world and is called the Westminster Chimes.
