L: ④ Hmm, I’ve never seen it, so I’m not sure I agree with you. ⑤ Why do you like it, Tony
T: ⑥ Well, I visited the Giant’s Causeway two years ago. ⑦ It’s huge.⑧ There are about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides.
⑨ It runs for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern Ireland.
L: ⑩ That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa is even more fantastic. It’s about 1,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away.
B: Wow, that’s huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It’s more than 2,000 years old.
D: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It’s about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricity for millions of people in China.
