1SkillsReading 1 Read Ben’s report for his geography lesson. What is TYF?The smallest city in BritainMy project is about St David’s in Pembrokeshire, Southwest Wales. This city interests me because it is thesmallest city in Britain. The population is less than2,000! The landscape is really breathtaking and it’s gotone of the best beaches and seaside resorts in Wales.They say the sea along the coast is the warmest andcleanest in Wales. (When I visited it was a bit cool, but it was September!) St David’s has also got a beautifulmedieval cathedral called St David’s Cathedral.The city is called St David’s because the famous saint, St David, was born here. He was important forspreading Christianity in the fifth century. As a result, St David’s became the centre of Christianity in the Middle Ages. Once, the city was as important as a trip to Rome for pilgrims. St David said ‘people should do the little things in life’. In fact St David’s is more traditional than other parts of Wales. One thing I noticed when I was there is that there are none of those shops you usually get in bigger cities. The reason for this is that St David’s is inside a National Park, so big chain stores can’t open here. So, it’s not as trendy or commercialised as other parts of Wales, but I think that’s a good thing. One of the coolest facts about St David’s is that, although it’s the smallest city in the UK, it’s got the fastest growing alternative local industries in the UK. There are crafts, organic farming and ecotourism. TYF adventure holiday centre is famous. It’s one of the most eco-friendly activity centres in the world; it only uses green electricity and thousands of people come here every year. 2 Answer the following questions.

We are both students and we like going out.We’d like to have a typical night out in London. We love comedy, theatre, dance, music, buthaven’t got a lot of money. (We don’t want to spend more than 6 or 10 pounds each for the showand maybe another 5 or 6 pounds for a snack.) The West End shows are too expensive for us.Can you recommend something for us?Bobby Brown Best Answer What about going to see a show at one of London’s Fringe theatres. One of my favourites is Camden People’s Theatre on Hampstead High St. They have a variety of shows from live music to traditional theatre. I like going there because the people are friendly and it’s much cheaper than the West End. I never pay more than five or six pounds because they do discounts for students. We saw a great cabaret on Friday night and then we went round the corner to Drummond St for a curry in a really good vegetarian Indian restaurant. LauraWhy don’t you try a comedy club? I like The Chuckles Comedy Club. It’s one of the oldestcomedy clubs in the UK. It’s got a very relaxed friendly atmosphere. Saturday night is a greatnight out.
