Beginner
A: which countries have you been to?
B: I’ve been to most of the countries in Europe, several countries in
asia-china, korea, and Thailand-and to the united states and Canada.
A; I thought you had been to Australia too.
B: no, but I’m planning on visiting Australia and new Zealand soon. I’ve
heard that they are beautiful countries. Which is the most beautiful country
you’ve been to?
A; I think I ‘d say norway. It has many picturesque fjords, waterfalls, and
mountains.
B: isn’t it really cold there?
A; well, the north of Norway is almost always cold, but further south it
can be fairly wamp3 in summer. It’s a wet country, so there’s snow almost
everywhere in winter.
B; I’ve been to other Scandinavian countries, but not to Norway. Perhaps I
should go and do some winter sports there.

A: ok. Let’s look at our short presentation on china. What do we need to
include?
B; we need to talk about the size of the country and its population.
A: ok. China is about the same size as Canada and the united states and it
has a population of about 1.3 bullion, making it the latest country in the world
by population.
B; it says here that most of the people are han Chinese, but there are 55
minorities that make up almost 10% of the population.
A: we need to say something about the geography and climate of china. Is
there any way to divide the country into sections?
B: we could divide into five parts. There’s the northeast, which is mild in
summer and very cold in winter. Then there is the northwest, which is largely
desert. Tilbet is famous for its mountainous climate. The rest of the country
can be roughly divided into two parts. One is temperate-mild in winter and wamp3
in summer. Then, in the south it is hot most of the year.
A: that sounds very general.
B: it is, buy remember that we only have a few minutes to make our
presentation. We can select cities from each part and give data for each
one.
A: one from each part? Lhasa, urumqi, harbin, shanghai, and hongkong. The
capital city is Beijing, right?
B; yes. The other large cities are chengdu, dalian, wuhan, tianjin,
shenyang, chongqing. Hongkong and Guangzhou.
A; we should take a large map and highlight those cities. What is each of
them famous for? |
