I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giants Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder.Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so Im not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony?Tony: Well, I visited the Giants Causeway two years ago. Its huge. Therere about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern IrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. Theyre about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away.Betty: Wow, thats huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. Its more than 2.000 years old.Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. Its about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricity for millions of people in China.Betty: Now, whod like to call first?Module 1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1: It’s more than 2000 years old.托尼:我们给《世界奇观》节目打，加入讨论吧。

I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there. After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon. I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think? Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big .自然界的一大奇观我到那里时是大清早，天下着雨。
我朝东边看了看，天空变得灰蒙蒙的我下了车，穿过一道门，沿着一条黑暗的小路前行虽然什么也看不见，但我知道它就在那里 大约走了一英里，小路边出现了一个陌生人我问道：“我走的路对吗？”他知道我要去哪里他答道：“对，五分钟后你就能到达那里终于，我走到一些岩石前停了下来我朝那片岩石望过去，但是一片寂静，还是看不见它 突然，雨停了，云散了太阳从我身后升起，照在岩石上地面(仿佛在随着光线)向下延伸，（逐渐）退落到下面的一条河里我在眺望着这自然界奇观之一的大峡谷 我俯视着距我一英里之遥的银色的科罗拉多河即使你把世界上最高的两栋建筑物叠在一起放在谷底，它们仍就到不到了顶然后我眺望峡谷的另一边它大约在15英里之外，也许更远最后，我向左右遥望，大峡谷向两边延伸, 长达200多英里大峡谷不仅仅是大，而是巨大！ 我在大峡谷伫立半小时有余，我问了自己一个问题：“大峡谷是自然界中最壮观的奇观吗？”我心中自然已有答案你怎么认为呢？ Module 2 Public HolidaysUnit 1Tony: The First of October is Chinas National Day, isn t it, Lingling?Lingling: Yes.
