Q1. Read the passage and answer the questions. Everyone has a favourite attraction at an amusement park, and I am no different. However, unlike most people who seem to prefer roller coasters, my favourite ride is a little gentler. Every time I go to Coney Island, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel is simple yet also quite complex. That is, ride it is easy, but it work is complicated. A series of carts are attached to a wheel which is attached to a rim. The rim rotates vertically around an axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simple as the ride seems, only advanced engineers make safe and fun Ferris wheel.

While the Ferris wheel is not thrilling as a roller coaster. It is still very exciting. The fact of being high in the air makes it so much more entertaining than a lot of rides. I mean how often do you hang from that high up in daily life?

Nevertheless, I have to admit, I don’t seek Ferris wheels out because of their excitement. Rather, I find them very relaxing. At the top of the Ferris wheels, you get beautiful sights of the park. You also get a sense of calm that you get in the hustle and bustle of the park below.

Additionally, Ferris wheels are also gorgeous to look at when they are lit up at night. In fact, the original Ferris wheel was designed as much to be seen as to be ridden.

Question,

5) In paragraph3, the narrator says “while the Ferris is not as thrilling as a roller coaster, it is still very exciting”.

Can you think of any other machines that are not “thrilling” but still “exciting”
