00:00.00] CHAPTER THREE Reading [00:03.81]page 39 PLACES OF INTEREST [00:08.86]Last Saturday,Debbie arrived at Sunbeam Travel and was given an urgent job. [00:15.70]Mr Yang gave her this information [00:19.67]and asked her to arrange a tour programme [00:23.72]for a group of 20 tourists visiting China. [00:28.08]1 The Great Wall rises and falls, [00:33.12]twists and turns along the hill-tops of mountain chains in northern China. [00:40.49]It is the only man-made structure which can be seen from space. [00:46.73]Construction of the wall began in the fifth century B.C. [00:52.58]The wall finally took shape in the the third century B.C. [00:57.76]It is preserved as a historic monument today. [01:02.72]Travellers can go by car or train [01:07.37]to visit a famous section of the wall called Badaling, [01:13.01]which is 85 kilometres north of Beijing. [01:18.47]2 The new Shanghai Museum Building [01:23.33]is a magnificent structure with a square base and a circular top. [01:29.57]The centre of the top is a glass dome [01:33.65]which looks like a huge bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty. [01:39.81]The museum's collections of ancient Chinese bronze,ceramics, [01:45.87]paintings and calligraphy are well-known in the world. [01:51.44]Museum open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. [01:57.60]3The Peak Tram has been making the seven-minute journey to the Peak since 1888. [02:06.75]You can enjoy a superb view of Hong Kong from the Peak. [02:12.39]The lower terminus is only a five-minute walk from the Bank of China Building. [02:19.55]4 The scenery along the Lijiang River in Guilin [02:25.29]is just like a beautiful landscape painting. [02:29.76]Take a boat trip,and you will be fascinated by the oddly-shaped hills and peaks [02:36.21]along the river and also their reflections in the clear water. [02:42.09] LISTENING page 42 [02:46.35]Following directions on a map. [02:50.71]Listen to this conversation. [02:54.47]The woman is telling the man about her tour of Europe last summer. [03:01.55]Using a pencil,draw lines on the map of Europe to show where she went. [03:09.91]Next to each line,write down how she travelled(e.g.by plane),as in the example. [03:20.96]Woman:We had a very good tour of Europe last summer. [03:26.52]Man:Where did you go? [03:29.68]Woman:Well,first we flew to Amsterdam. [03:35.54] After a couple of days in Amsterdam,we went to Berlin. [03:42.62] We took a train from Amsterdam to Berlin. [03:48.18]Man:Did you stay there long? [03:52.15]Woman:Just a couple of days,then we went by bus from Berlin to Brussels. [04:02.00]Man:Did you see any snow,when you were in Europe? [04:07.95]Woman:Yes,we went from Brussels to Zurich.We went by train. [04:15.90] Zurich is in Switzerland and it's very high in the mountains. [04:23.16] So we saw some snow even though it was the summer. [04:28.90]Man:Where did you go after Zurich? [04:33.87]Woman:Well,we hired a car in Zurich and we drove from there down to Venice. [04:42.62]Man:Was it difficult to go by car? [04:47.37]Woman:No,we just had to drive carefully,especially over the mountains. [04:56.02] We stayed in Venice for several days,it's a beautiful city. [05:03.60] Then we went by bus to Rome. [05:08.95]After staying in Rome for a few days, [05:13.91]we went by boat to Barcelona,that's where they had the Olympic Games in 1994. [05:23.47]Man:Did you like Spain? [05:27.24]Woman:Yes,but it was very hot. [05:31.91]We went from Barcelona to Madrid by bus,hence,that was a very hot journey. [05:40.24]Then we hired a car and drove over to Lisbon in Portugal. [05:47.90]Man:Was that the end of your tour? [05:52.76]Woman:Oh,no,we flew from Lisbon by plane up to Edinburgh in Scotland. [06:01.53]We spend a day or two there,looking around Scotland,and then hired another car, [06:10.18]and drove down through England,until we got to London. [06:16.53]Then we took the new train that goes under the channel [06:22.56]and went by train from London to Paris. [06:28.13]Man:You must had been tired by that time? [06:33.17]Woman:Yes,we were,but we stayed in Paris for a week,just to relax. [06:42.31] And then we flew directly from Paris,back home. [06:49.47]Man:So,you had a really good tour? [06:54.51]Man:Yes,it was wonderful!Very tiring but very enjoyable. [07:02.77]SPEAKING [07:05.40]page 46 and 47 A Talk time [07:12.07]Using extra stress to highlight important words. [07:18.73]We already know two rules about speaking: [07:24.19]1 Stress nouns,verbs adjectives and adverbs. [07:33.25]2 Do not stress other words(e.g.,a the,is,have,etc.)except for special reasons. [07:51.51]Here is a third rule: [07:56.26]3 Give a little extra stress to the most important word in the sentence. [08:05.41]Note that you,the speaker,decide what the most important word is[08:13.35]Exercise A1 [08:17.11]MARIA:What do you think of my new camera,Boris? [08:23.27]BORIS:It looks a bit strange.What kind of camera is it? MARIA:A Toyota. [08:33.54]BORIS:A Toyota?That's the name of a car,not a camera. [08:41.61]MARIA:But look.The name's on the case. [08:47.67]BORIS:I'm afraid it's a fake,Maria.You've been cheated. [08:54.52]Exercise A2 [08:58.46]BORIS:Do you like my new watch,Maria? [09:03.43]MARIA:What make of watch is it? BORIS:A Rolex. [09:09.49]MARIA:A Rolex?That must have cost you a lot of money. [09:17.14]BORIS:Ninety dollars only. [09:21.08]MARIA:Then it can't be a real Rolex. [09:26.13]BORIE:It's got its name on its face. [09:30.88]MARIA:Yes,but look at how it's spelt. [09:36.52]It's got two ls in it.You've been cheated,Boris.

[10:02.64]The construction of the tomb started in 247 B.C., [10:08.71]and it took 36 years to complete. [10:13.15]It is believed that there are thousands of pottery figures of warriors and horses in this magnificent tomb. [10:22.00]The on-site museum is located five kilometres east of Xi'an,in Lintong County. [10:30.83]The museum is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. [10:36.39]The Sun Yat-sun Memorial Hall in Guangzhou [10:41.65]was built in memory of the late Dr Sun Yat-sen. [10:47.00]The Hall is a beautiful building in the style of a Chinese palace. [10:52.56]It can seat an audience of 5,000,but not even a single pillar is found inside. [11:00.74]In front of the Hall stands a bronze statue of Dr Sun Yat-sen. [11:06.59]The Po Lin Monastery in Hong Kong is famous for its 34-metres-high giant Buddha [11:13.96]Vegetarian meals and overnight stays are available. [11:19.00]Watch the sunrise from the top of Lantau Peak. [11:24.04]The Kuan Im Temple(Guan Yin.Miao) in Macau was first build over 600 years ago. [11:32.30]It is perhaps one of the most popular temples in Asia. [11:37.34]In the main hall of the temple, [11:40.89]there stands a statue of Kuan Im,the Goddess of Mercy. [11:46.46]But have you ever heard that among the 18 Luohan statues [11:52.72]which line the hall there, [11:56.38]one is of the famous Italian explorer Marco Polo. [12:01.71]Listening page 56 Exercise B1 [12:08.35]Taking notes from interviews. [12:13.00]Debbie has asked four tourists what they liked and disliked about Hong Kong. [12:20.44]Listen to then answers and make brief notes. [12:26.68]lst man:Well,I guess the thing I'm enjoy most is the food. [12:32.85]I have to admitted I do like my food,as you can see from my size. [12:40.50]The food in the hotel is just excellent. [12:45.26]We usually have breakfast and dinner in the hotel, [12:51.71]and then have lunch out somewhere. [12:55.97]And the thing I like,is the variety of food you can get here. [13:02.52]We've had French food,Indian,Thai,and what else...oh,yeah, Japanese. [13:11.90]We are just having a great time, [13:16.26]but when we get back home,I'm going to a have to go on a diet. [13:23.03]1st woman: What do I like most? Oh, the shopping. [13:29.38]There are so many shops here,it's wonderful! [13:35.73]I'm not interested in taking tours,I just like to shop,all day long. [13:46.17]There are two things I really like,I like shopping for clothes. 13:54.72]I just got to have the latest fashions,and I like collecting antiques. [14:05.35]So I often take a cap up to Hollywood Road, [14:11.83]and check out the antique shops there. [14:16.97]Mmm,of the one thing I don't like is the heat,it's just too hot for me. [14:28.23]It never gets this hot back home. [14:32.99]It's all right if you're in somewhere airconditioned,like Pacific place. [14:42.23]But if you're outside,well,it's just too hot for me in the middle of the day. [14:51.90]So I often stay in my hotel,and then go out again in the evening. [14:59.37]2nd man:Well,I like the views best of all. [15:04.41]Hong Kong just looks so amazing. [15:10.05]I like the view of the harbor at night if you go out of the Peak Tram. [15:17.03]And I like the view of Hong Kong from Kowloon side. [15:23.59]I like some of the buildings very much too. [15:28.84]You have some of the most interesting buildings in the world here. [15:36.10]The Hong Kong Bank Building,the Bank of China,the Central Plaza. [15:44.46]What do I dislike? Oh,the crowds,I think. [15:51.43]I come from a small town myself [15:56.40]and I'm not used to being in a middle of so many people all the time. [16:03.45]It's difficult,if you want to get somewhere quickly. [16:09.30]But I don't really mind it too much because I like watching people. [16:16.67]So I just go along with the crowds[16:21.73]2nd woman:Well,I have my two young children with me [16:27.19]and they don't really enjoy shopping or seeing Museums. [16:33.15]So I took them out to Ocean Park,and we all had a really good time there. [16:41.80]So I think that is the thing I like most about Hong Kong. [16:47.75]They liked seeing Beethoven's and so on. [16:53.11]We all enjoyed Ocean Park. [16:57.47]Oh,I supposed it's over noise,that's what I dislike. [17:04.31]Our hotel room is quite near the street, [17:09.07]and we have traffic noise all day long. [17:13.93]I'm not used to the noise of the airconditioner,either. [17:18.89]And almost everywhere you go,it seems to be noisy. [17:24.45]There's the traffic,building sites,and people shouting, [17:31.32]but we still enjoyed our stay here very much.
