Unit 4. WHY NOT TAKE A CLOSER LOOK? » Стр.199 (6)

Стор.199 Впр.6a a) Read and number the sentences of B in the correct order to make up a dialogue between A and B. 1–c: Hi, Nataly, haven’t seen you for a long time! What have you been doing? I’ve been working on my report about Wales and spent much time in the library. 2–a: Wales? What can be interesting about it? No big cities, no beautiful scenery, no interesting facts. — Ann, you are wrong here. The book I’m reading says «When visitors cross the borders from England to Wales, they soon understand that they are entering a country with its own geography, culture, traditions and language. 3–b: What do you mean? Don’t the Walsh speak English? — They do. But the Welsh language is spoken widely here, too. 4–d: Is Welsh different from English? — Very much so. Welsh is one of the Celtic languages, like Scottish and Irish are Gaelic. 5–f: Interesting. And what about the cities? I heard that there are few cities there, rather small ones. — Let’s not argue. I know at least one big city in Wales. It’s Cardiff, the capital and the main port. 6–e: (Looking through the book): You are right. It says, «Cardiff is an industrial city which also has a castle, a cathedral, a university» Ok. But what about the scenery? — The west coast, mid Wales and North Wales are wild and beautiful. Wales has high mountains, including Snowdon, the second highest mountain in Britain. 7–h: I’ve always thought that Wales is a kind of green fields, forests, and farms. — And you’ve been right. But it is also a land of mountains and valleys, streams and waterfalls. In North Wales you can follow mountain path for miles and miles. 8–g: Tell me a few words about Mount Snowdon. — Got interested? Ok. Here are my notes. I made them during the lecture by Mr Roger Davis, a visiting professor from Wales. If you’re really interested you can look through my notes. And now I’m sorry, Ann, I’ve got to run. See you!
