    Just Some Revision Notes That I Made About Past Exams and That? Might Be Useful : D

    From the article we learn that that the beach to city programme is run by the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) and also that they do good work as a charity which very little I known about them in some places. Their aim is to ‘educate children about the dangers of the seaside and how to stay away from trouble.’ They teach these skills to primary school children because it is said that they are highlighted as a ‘higher risk group’ who are most likely to be unaware of what the RNLI are about. The RNLI teach kids about keeping safe in the sun. They advise to ‘slap on a sun hat, slop on sun cream’ and ‘slip on a T-shirt’ to protect themselves from the sun. Furthermore the RNLI aim to make all their lessons memorable as well as enjoyable, they do these things by getting the kids to take part in play-acting and getting grips with equipment. Their sessions also focus on the use of public equipment (PRE), they do this by respecting and using life rings, throwing lines and emergency communication are very important to them in particular. The advice the PRE give is also aimed towards school children in London. They managed to visit 30 schools there. In the Future the RNLI education team aim to add a fourth city to the beach tour and plan to continue their work as well as adding more for the coming years.…

    Using the Photograph and Your Own Knowledge Describe How Traditional Seaside Resorts Have Changed over the Last 50 Years.

    Llandudno is an example of a seaside resort that was established in the 19th century. The photograph was taken in the 1960s when resorts such as this were still developing and flourishing as a ‘bucket and spade’ location. As you can see in the photograph, the resort of Llandudno is focussed around the bay and its beach. This would have previously been the main attraction to the area, however some resorts such as Blackpool and Brighton are now becoming more popular destinations for their nightlife and other attractions (such as Pleasure Beach Theme Park in Blackpool), rather than for the beaches themselves. This has resulted in smaller resorts such as Llandudno, which have a small number of attractions other than its beach, to become much less popular. Seaside resorts have changed over the past 50 years so that the main attraction is no longer the beach, but the various other attractions available.…
