Tapescripts:
In Wonders of the World today, we’re talking about
four wonders: two natural wonders and two man-made wonders. The two natural wonders are the Giant’s Causeway and Victoria Falls. The two
man-made wonders are the Terracotta Army and
the Three Gorges Dam.
The Terracotta Army was built in the Qin Dynasty, so it’s ancient. It’s said to be Qinshihuang’s personal
army. The Three Gorges Dam is a modern wonder.
So far, it’s the largest dam in the world. Please call and tell us what you think.

agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony
Tony: Well, I visited the Giant’s Causeway two
years ago. It’s huge. There are about
40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides.
It runs for several hundred metres on the
eastern coast of Northern Ireland.

Lingling: 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.
Betty: 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.

Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the
Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It’s
