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 more gentle. Every time I
go to Coney Island, Navy Pier, or the Santa Monica Pier, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel is simple and yet also quite complex. That is, riding it is easy, but how it works is
complicated. A series of carts are attached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim rotates

Page 2 of 3
Vertically around an axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simple as the ride seems, only
advanced engineers can make safe and fun Ferris wheels.What It Lacks in ThrillsWhile the Ferris
wheel is not as 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 dont seek Ferris wheels out because of their
excitement. Rather, I find them very relaxing. At the top of the Ferris wheel, you get beautiful sights
of the park. You also get a sense of calm that you dont get in the hustle and bustle of the park below.

1. What is a Ferris wheel originally designed for?

2. What is this passage all about?
3. What is meant by excitement?
4. Is this passage in third person narration?
5. Is Ferris wheel more exciting than the roller coaster?
