Unit 5
GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLOOK
Lesson 1 1. Listen and read. Then talk in pairs.
John: Have you had a nice
evening? Terry: Yes, I've been watching a documentary film on TV. John: Really? What was it about? Terry: About a sea trip to Great Britain. John: A sea trip? I would prefer flying there
by airplane. Terry: Sure, it is the fastest way. But if you want to make your visit to Great Britain more exciting, you should choose the other way. John: Well, what is it like? Terry: First, you go to Calais ['kaelei] by train, and then cross the Strait of Dover on board the channel boat. The English Channel is rather narrow here — only thirty-two miles wide and the crossing takes only an hour and a quarter. Then you'll see the white cliffs of Dover. John: Dover? What is it? Terry: Dover is one of the most ancient ports. Right above the harbour1 on a cliff stands Dover Castle called 'The Key of England'. John: Really? It sounds interesting... Can you show me the way on the map?
