Track 2.2
OK... the films which are on today are being shown at different times.
They’re also about some amazing subjects. Let me tell you a little about
them.
The first one is called The Secret of the Nile and starts in half an hour at
ten o’clock. It’s a beautiful film and it tells the story of the journey that
was made down the river Nile for the very first time... starting in the
mountains of Ethiopia and passing through the Sudan and Egypt before
reaching the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll accompany the travellers as they
explore some Africa’s truly amazing landscapes.
The second film moves off land and into the sea. It’s called Wild Ocean,
and this one begins at 11.45. So you have some time to look round the
museum first if you choose this title. In this film, you’ll join the huge
number of fish and other animals that live far down near the bottom of
the sea. You’ll see them search for food, migrate and fight for survival.
Dinosaurs Alive is the third film showing today. It starts at 1.45 p.m. and
runs for just 30 minutes. This is a film for people who like special
effects because there are plenty of them! Scientists now have a lot of
evidence to show that some animals from the dinosaur family are still
living on Earth. So in this film, you’ll live with a new species of
dinosaur that has been re-created using computers Our final film today is
simply titled Arabia. It starts at 2.30 and is a little longer than the others,
but it’s a really wonderful experience. You’ll ride through the desert on
a camel. You’ll also dive among the treasures of the Red Sea where
you’ll explore the ruins of an amazing lost city.
Well, these are all magical experience, so I’ll let you decide what you
want to see. If anyone has any questions....
