Elizabeth: It doesn't seem like it. Oh, I remember another movie that came out last week. It's a mystery and it had a little romance and some action, too. I heard it's pretty exciting because nobody can guess who the killer is and it has a surprise ending. What do you think about that one?

Task 2. Read the text about Alex’s hometown.
My town – Newquay
Newquay is a small town on the Atlantic coast in the south of England. It has got great beaches and is the best place to surf in the United Kingdom. There are lots of surf schools where you can learn how to surf. I go surfing with my friends every weekend.
I love Newquay because there are lots of other things to do as well as surfing. If you like water sports, you can go kayaking, water-skiing or coasteering. Coasteering involves rock climbing, jumping into the sea and swimming in the same activity. So, you should always go with a special instructor.
If you like animals you can also visit the Blue Reef Aquarium and see lots of different fish and even sharks. You can also go horse riding on the beach or visit Newquay Zoo. There are lots of other attractions too like mini golf and bowling.
Circle the 3 things Alex writes about.
A) Rainy weather in Newquay
