What (1) the phrase 'the great British seaside' bring to mind? Most people, if asked
to respond (2) the top of their heads, associate (3) on holiday to places
such as Blackpool or Torquay with poor weather, old, faded attractions and a low standard of
accommodation. These days, when people are more likely to go abroad to (4) the
sights, traditional British seaside towns (5) suffering from an image problem. Now,
finally, some of the resorts (6) decided to bring their images up to date in the hope that
a (7) of direction will bring back the tourists. Many will need a lot of convincing, but
those that (8) come will find that today's Blackpool differs quite a bit (9)
the picture postcard past.
After years of neglect, Blackpool has to work hard to catch (10) with foreign destinations
but that's precisely what it (11) doing. It's the first time so much (12)
happened to improve the place in such a short time. A massive building project, including a new
casino and indoor entertainment centre, (13) that rainy days are no longer a problem.
And it appears (14) be working. As the tourists start to make (15) the bright lights of Blackpool once again, it seems that the great British seaside has a bright future
ahead.
