Where can tourists….
1. learn more about extreme sports?
2. see a country which is as large as America?
3. enjoy the most splendid view of the Niagara Falls?
4. have lunch at a sand dune?
A.
Canada has an area
of nearly ten million square kilometers. It is a country of lakes. Since the
building of the St. Lawrence Seaway the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River
form a great water way from the Atlantic to the heart of the country. The Niagara Falls on the Niagara River between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are one of the most
splendid sights in the world.
B.
New Zealand is famous
for its geysers, thermal springs, its national past time rugby and extreme
sports. It is a mountainous country. Most of North Island and the south-west of
South island have good forests of evergreen trees and large areas are rich
grasslands. Tourists are offered such extreme amusements as tramping through
virgin forest, rafting on rushing mountain rivers, jumping from helicopters and
bridges into precipices and water.
C.
Australia is massive
and very sparsely peopled: in size in rivals the USA, yet it’s population is
just over eighteen million. This is an ancient land, and often looks it. In
contrast, its cities – most of which were founded as recently as the mid
nineteenth century – express a youthful energy.
D.
Indian people are very friendly and hospitable. I continued to
travel in India at a snail’s pace. The longer we were out in the desert, the
more beautiful it grew, so peaceful and romantic as the land shifted from scrub
bush to sand dunes to rocky hills and back to sand dunes. Each day we could
stop at a new sand dune for lunch.
E.
Dubai (a land of
sunrise) was once a part of a large desert. But now it is a green island of
everlasting summer, a centre of world entertainment, and a civilized city in
the United Arab Emirates. There are wonderful buildings of glass, skyscrapers,
peaceful fountains in the middle of flower gardens, and meadows with colorful
plants.

Do you
speak English?
When I arrived in England I thought I knew English. After I’d been
here an hour I realized that I did not understand one word. In the first week I
picked up a tolerable working knowledge of the language and the next seven
years convinced me gradually but thoroughly that I 1 _______________________,
let alone perfectly. This is sad. My only consolation being that nobody speaks
English perfectly.
Remember that those five hundred words an average Englishman uses
are 2 _______________________. You may
learn another five hundred and another five thousand and yet another fifty
thousand and still you may come across a further fifty thousand 3 _______________________.
If you live here long enough you will find out to your greatest
amazement that the adjective nice is not the only adjective the language
possesses, in spite of the fact that 4 _______________________. You can
say that the weather is nice, a restaurant is nice, Mr. Soandso is nice, Mrs.
Soandso’s clothes are nice, you had a nice time, 5_______________________.
Then you have to decide on your accent. The easiest way to give
the impression of having a good accent or no foreign accent at all is to hold
an unlit pipe in your mouth, to mutter between your teeth and finish all your
sentences with the question: “isn’t it?” People will not understand much, but
they are accustomed to that and they will get a 6_______________________.
A. whatever it
costs
B. most
excellent impression
C. you have
never heard of before, and nobody else either
D. in the
first three years you do not need to learn or use any other adjectives
E. would never
know it really well
F. far from
being the whole vocabulary of the language
G. and all
this will be correct
