The Grand Canyon, USAKnown to Americans as the ‘Mountain lying down’, the Grand Canyon stretches for 443 kilometres where the Colorado River cuts through northwest Arizona. The canyon is a baby by geological standards – only five or six million years old, although the rocks at the bottom are almost two billion years old. It is the incredible colours of rock that delight visitors – over five million of them every year. Surprisingly though, after making the long journey there, the average visitor spends only fifteen minutes looking at the Canyon. Even so, visitors should still be careful: every year an average of five people fall over the edge. A viewer’s opinion: ‘It’s just incredible, you feel as if you have died and gone to heaven’.

• geological (adj) thuộc về địa chất

Venice, ItalyWhat could be more romantic than going down a Venetian canal in a gondola – a boat with flat bottom? No wonder Venice is the favourite of lovers all over the world. This city is located on 118 flat islands, and has over 200 canals and 400 bridges. Visit the Piazza San Marco, one of the most beautiful squares in the world with its 500-year-old buildings, and marvel at the Basilica of St Mark, and the Doge’s Palace, the home of many of Venice’s most famous paintings and sculptures.A viewer’s opinion: ‘Imagine going back in time to a life without cars, where wonderful art and architecture were all around you – this is what you experience when you go to Venice’.

• sculpture (noun) tác phẩm điêu khắc

Las Vegas, USAA surprising choice as your favourite city, Las Vegas means the ‘meadows’ in Spanish, but fields of grass are probably the only thing you can’t find here. Even for those who aren’t interested in gambling or playing games for money, Las Vegas is one of the most exciting cities in the world. ‘The strip’, in the centre of town, is five kilometres of the most expensive hotels you will ever see, including replicas, or small copies, of the Eiffel Tower, the Egyptian Pyramids and ancient Roman Palaces. It uses almost 24,000 kilometres of neon lights! Famous for its ‘quickie’ weddings (both Elvis Presley and Richard Gere were married here) you can even arrange a ‘drive through wedding’ and be back in the casinos in an hour!A viewer’s opinion: ‘There can be no other place like this on earth – it’s like entering a cartoon world.’


Practice

Petra, JordanThe location for a number of Hollywood films, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the city of Petra was built in rocky cliffs more than 2,000 years ago, and was once an important commercial city. Temples, palaces, and a huge square were all cut out of the cliffs, whose amazing colours give the city its rose-red appearance. Historians believe that the citizens of Petra had to abandon it around 551 AD and this incredible archeological site was forgotten by the West, until a Swiss traveler ‘rediscovered’ it in 1812.A viewer’s opinion: ‘It’s very difficult to imagine how enormous and how impressive it is from photographs – you just have to see it in person. You’ll be amazed!’


Practice

Koh Samui, ThailandA tropical paradise located in the warm blue waters to the southeast of Thailand. Although it is the kingdom’s second largest island after Phuket, it was unknown to tourists until a few years ago. Easy to reach from Bangkok, it is covered with coconut trees, brightly-coloured flowers and white sandy beaches. Whether you want remote beaches, great shopping, first-class restaurants or an exciting night-life, you’ll find it on Koh Samui.A viewer’s opinion: ‘The most perfect paradise island in the Far East – such friendly people and good food! Everyone should go there before they die, but hopefully not the same time!’
