There is a skatepark in London. It is 36 years old. It receives heritage status. This means that it is important.

Many old buildings have this status. Newer buildings like this one, do not. However, the skatepark is important. It is part of British heritage.

Difficult words: receive (be given), heritage status (it is important to history of a place and people should protect it).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
