Exercise 4 Page 64

Sample answer

One of the best websites I know is the one for the sports centre I belong to.

One of the reasons why I like it is that it is very user-friendly. If you want to check information such as prices and opening times, it is very easy to find what you are looking for. The website is updated regularly so that the information is always correct. Another good thing about this website is the interactive part. There is a section where people can write their own comments or make some suggestions for improvements or for future events. There are also lots of fun activities such as quizzes, which they regularly put online.

Finally, the graphics are really good, with great photos of the centre and the sports teams. So overall I think this is an excellent site, with lots of good ideas that we could use on our school website.
