Listening IITypescriptPart 1Alex, a young Englishman, is staying in New York with Linda, a friend of his. He is only there for two days and wants to see as much as possible. He is talking to Linda about the most interesting places. L: So what are you going to do while you’re here?A: Well. I don’t know much about New York really, you know, just the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. You tell me!L: You’ve just got tow days, right? You’re going to be pretty busy if you want to see all the sights!A: I ’m planning to start early tomorrow morning. What should I do first?L: I think you should start with the Empire State Building. It’s not the highest building now, but the view’s just beautiful in the morning, when it’s clear and fresh. You have to do that!A: Mm. It sounds great! I’ll definitely do that. Which is the highest building in the city now?L: The World Trade Center building. But you should go there at night for the view--there’s a bar up there and you can relax and look at the lights of the city. It’s really wonderful!

Part 2A: What else do you recommend?L: Well, it depends on what you like---art, shopping, theatre?A: Well, not shopping particularly. But I’d like to see an art gallery or two.L: Oh, then you must go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is just enormous. You could spend tow days there! That’s by Central Park, so you can take a walk through Central Park at the same time, but not after dark, remember. It’s dangerous then.A: Right.

Part 3A: What about the Statue of Liberty? I must see the Statue of Liberty!L: Well, there are different ways to do that. You can take a tour by boat. The stops so you can get out and climb up to the top.lA: Yeah?L: Or the cheap way is just to take the regular Staten Island ferry -- that’s not a tourist boat, so it doesn’t stop--- but it passes right by.A: No, I think I’ll be a tourist and climb up to the top!L: All right. Well, there’s another interesting trip in the same area -- to Ellis Island. There’s a big museum all about the immigrants who arrived there. That’s pretty interesting!A: Mm. Yes, I’d definitely like to do that, too.L: Sure, but you’re going to be pretty busy. You won’t be able to do that in one day. It’s a long way, you know!A: Really? How far is it?L: Five or six miles at least!A: Is it? I’ve got no idea where these places are. Have you got a map, perhaps?L: Sure, I’ll go and get it, and you can plan your route.

Writting

I like traveling. I even consider it as a part of my life.I find it can even do me a lot of good when I look back on my trips. Traveling brings me knowledgeand pleasure. It puts me in a good mood. When I go back to my studies, I work happily.Traveling also helps me learn a lot about local customs and broadens my views. Three years ago, I went to the “European City” in Wuxi, where there are many models of European architecture. During that trip I learned something about Europe.Traveling is relaxing and we can get rid of our anxiety and stress. If friends travel together, they will improve their friendship through their experiences. They will also meet new people. In the future, I plan to do more traveling.

Eiffel Tower, ParisThe Eiffel Tower, rising in the twilight sky above Paris, was built for the World’s Fair in 1889. French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel designed it as a cross-braced latticed girder with minimum wind resistance. onstructed from over 6300 metric tons (7000 tons) of highest quality wrought iron, it is a masterpiece of wrought-iron technology.

Taj Mahal, IndiaThe Taj Mahal, designed as a tomb for the wife of a 17th-century Mughal emperor, was constructed by about 20,000 workers from 1631 to 1648 in Agra, a city in northern India. The massive domed structure was constructed in the Indo-Islamic style, using white marble and inlaid gems. At each corner is a minaret (prayer tower), and passages from the Koran, the Muslim holy book, adorn the outside walls. The bodies of the emperor and his wife remain in a vault below the building.

London Tower BridgeThe 244-m (800-ft) London Tower Bridge spans the Thames River in London. It was the only movable bridge crossing the Thames when it was completed in 1894. Sir Horace Jones designed the bridge, and Sir John Wolfe Barry built it.

Soldiers of the Imperial BodyguardThese life-size terra-cotta figures are a small part of more than 6000 figures and horses that were made for the tomb of Emperor Shih Huang Ti of the Ch’in dynasty in China, 210 BC. They were originally painted in bright colors. The burial mound, in the northwestern province of Shanxi, was discovered in 1974. ColosseumThe Colosseum in Rome (70-82) is best known for its multilevel system of vaults made of concrete. It is called the Colosseum for a colossal statue of Nero that once stood nearby, but its real name is the Flavian Amphitheater. It was used for staged battles between lions and Christians, among other spectacles, and is one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world.

Egyptian PyramidsLocated on the west bank of the Nile River on the outskirts of Cairo, the pyramids at Giza, Egypt, rank as some of the most famous monuments in the world. The Egyptians constructed the pyramids between 2700 BC and 1000 BC to serve as royal tombs. Built without the use of cranes, pulleys, or lifting tackle, the massive structures stand as testaments to the engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians .
