PRE-READINGStudents discuss in pairs (breakout rooms)How do you like to travel? Think about five places you would like to visit in a recent time and explain why.

While-reading. Read the given text and write down the new vocabulary using Jamboard. FIVE PLACES TO VISIT BEFORE YOU DIEGRAND CANYON, ARIZONA (A)‘Awesome’ is how people describe the Grand Canyon! But words cannot describe it. You have to see it to believe it. The Grand Canyon in Northwest Arizona, USA, is 366 kilometers long, 29 kilometers wide and 1800 meters deep. Scientists believe that the canyon is 17 million years old. It is not the deepest or the longest in the world. However, it is probably the most beautiful. The rocks change colour depending on the time of the day, from red and orange to grey and ochre brown. The best view of the Grand Canyon is from the helicopter. But for a real adventure, you need to take a boat along the valley of the river Colorado.

VENICE, ITALY (B)The floating city in northeast Italy is famous for its unique beauty and wonderful architecture. The city consists of around 117 islands and 409 bridges. You can walk through the narrow streets for hours and then sit in the square and admire the impressive buildings. St Mark’s is the most famous square and the central point of the city. The public transport system is fantastic. For example, the famous vaporetto (river bus) only costs 5 euros. It takes you all the way down the Grand Canal. Alternatively, you can pay around 150 euros to do the same trip on a gondola.

CHRIST THE REDEEMER, RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL (C)The statue of Christ the Redeemer is 38 meters high and dominates the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the main sights of this lovely city. When visitors go to the top of the Corcovado mountain to visit the statue, they get a breathtaking view of the city. From there you can see other famous sights: the Sugar loaf mountain, the Atlantic ocean, the harbor and the long sandy beaches. As you drive up the narrow road to the top of the mountain, you pass favelas (slums), rich neighbourhoods and green rainforests.

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA (D)It is one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world. It is located in the Coral sea and covers 2600 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia. It consists of around 3000 coral reefs and hundreds of tropical islands. It is a popular destination for scuba divers. They love the clear and shallow sea water and all the different types of fish. The golden sands of the tropical beaches attract about 1 million tourists each year.

THE LOST CITY OF PETRA, JORDAN (E)The lost city of Petra is located in the rose-coloured mountains of southwestern Jordan. This ancient city was once a busy trading center and the capital of the Nabataean empire. It had a population of around 20000. They made spectacular monuments from the pink limestone rock. The city was ‘lost’ for centuries. Nobody knows exactly when and why people left the city. Luckily, European travelers ‘found’ it again in the nineteenth century. Today you can visit the spectacular ruins on foot, on horseback or by camel.
