PET-reading part 2- find a place to skate

Which place would be the most suitable for Stephanie?

Stephanie and her parents want to listen to music while skating in a city centre. They'd like to buy some skates while they're there.

• Hamley Hall

  Hamley Hall's a 30-minute train ride from the city. With its wonderful gardens by the river and fantastic ice rink, it's

  a perfect place for a day out. Art and sports classes are also available for kids

  of all ages. And in the evening, don't miss the Dance on Ice performance, with its live orchestra!

• Hill Road

  Ice skating at Hill Road, with its spectacular views over the city, is popular with families. Special sessions are available for younger skaters, but everyone must keep to a sensible speed in the general sessions, too. There's a hot drinks machine, and the bus from the city centre stops right outside.

• Devon Park

  Devon Park offers great skating, and you

  can rent everything you need on site. If you're keen, you can get your own equipment here, too. This year, you'll be entertained by bands until late into the evening, when the trees are lit up. It's so magical that you'll forget you're in the

  heart of the capital!

• Ice World

  At Ice World, you can do an hour-long skating class - places are limited to ten, so book early. It's worth doing, as it'll give you confidence to join in the games organised there every day - really enjoyable! Best of all, there's a roof covering the whole skating area, so the fun never has to stop!

Which place would be the most suitable for Cameron?

Cameron and his family want to go ice skating somewhere that isn't busy. Although they'd like Cameron's young sister to have a separate place to skate safely, Cameron's a good skater and enjoys skating really fast.

• City Skate

  City Skate is always busy, especially at the

  weekends, when there's a DJ. If you're not

  very confident, arrange a lesson for either 30 minutes or an hour. It's fun watching people speed around the ice, and there are good restaurants just ten minutes away. Check the weather forecast, as you'll be skating in the open air.

• Ice Park

  Ice Park has a great central location, perfect for families wanting to explore the neighbourhood. Although the large skating area closes at 4 p.m., there's plenty going on in the evenings, too, including the theatre with its great shows, and many fantastic restaurants.

• Chorley Lane

  Chorley Lane, located in the centre of the Financial District, is generally quiet, as the area isn't a popular tourist destination. There's something for everyone, though, with a smaller area for kids, and there are fun races for experienced skaters, which is a nice option if you're skating by yourself.

• Langley Skating Centre

  Langley Skating Centre is a good place to spend a few hours, with plenty to entertain you. You can pay for a one-to-one session- it's quite expensive, but you'll improve quickly. There's a restaurant right next to the ice rink, so you can get a good view of the action. It's open all day, although it's quieter in the afternoon.

Which place would be the most suitable for Fi?

Fi and her mum want to skate somewhere where they won't get wet if it rains. Fi wants a lesson with other people, and they'd like to do other activities on the ice, too.
