Been there, done that
1-E) Shangri-La is an imaginary location described in the novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. It is a tranquil haven in the Tibetan mountains, a place which casts a spell on all who live there. Today, the word Shangri-La is synonymous with a place of complete and utter bliss, delight and peace — an earthly utopia. Robert Kuok, founder of Asia’s leading luxury hotel group, the Shangri-La group of hotels and resorts, drew inspiration for his company’s name from Lost Horizon.
2-G) In the world’s largest cities, the cheapest, fastest and most efficient way to move around is often by underground. This is certainly true in Tokyo, a city of some 13 million people and home to the busiest underground system in the world. Every year, around three billion passenger journeys are taken on the Tokyo subway. Unsurprisingly, given such numbers, travel conditions during peak hours can be extremely uncomfortable. Some subway cars are filled to 160% of capacity during rush hour.
3-F) The magnificent Paradise Forests of Southeast Asia — comprising rainforests, swamp forests, coastal and mangrove forests — are home to an extraordinary diversity of species and hundreds of indigenous cultures. Tragically, these forests are being logged at a rate unequalled anywhere else on Earth. The Sumatran tiger and the world’s largest flower, the one metre wide rafflesia, are threatened. Similarly, more than 1,000 languages spoken by the people who call these forests home could vanish.
4-D) The Acropolis of Athens is the most famous acropolis in the world. A flat-topped rock in the middle of the city, rising 150 metres above sea level, the Acropolis has been a place of importance for thousands of years. It has several famous buildings on top of its summit, the most notable being the Parthenon, a temple erected in the 6th century BC to honour the Greek goddess Athena. The Acropolis is a magnificent site, a true testament to the glory that was Ancient Greece.
5-H) York is a beautiful medieval city and for the last thirteen years Brian Larkin has been taking visitors on a unique walking tour around it. His tour is different because, he says, he wants to give people an understanding of how ordinary people really lived in the past. As he takes them down some of York’s darkest side streets and alleyways, Brian gives visitors a running commentary on what life was like without the benefits of electricity or modern plumbing.
6-C) Spectacular mountain ranges, breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife make Nepal one of the most popular travel destinations for those who love the outdoors. Home to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, Nepal’s topography soars from 70 metres to 8,848 metres above sea level. Wildlife like tigers, rhinos, monkeys, bears and leopards roam Nepal’s forests, grasslands and deserts. 10% of the world’s bird species can be found flying in the skies of this beautiful country.
7-A) The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia, is the largest art gallery in the world, with over three million works ranging from Michelangelo to Matisse. The collections are displayed in a vast complex of six buildings, including the Winter Palace, the official residence of the Russian Tsars. The Hermitage collection began as the private collection of the Empress Catherine the Great and was substantially expanded by succeeding Tsars, as well as the Soviet State, into the superb collection it is today.
1-E A FICTIONAL HEAVEN (ВЫМЫШЛЕННЫЙ РАЙ)
Шангри Ла — воображаемое место, описанное в романе британского писателя Джеймса Хилтона «Потерянный горизонт». Это тихая гавань в Тибетских горах, место, которое околдовывает всех, кто там живет. Сегодня слово Шангри-Ла синонимично месту полного и полнейшего блаженства, восторга и покоя — земной утопии. Роберт Кук, основатель ведущей группы отелей класса люкс в Азии, группа отелей и санаторий Шангри-Ла, вдохновился названием своей компании от «Потерянного горизонта».
2-G A SERVICE IN HIGH DEMAND (ВОСТРЕБОВАННАЯ УСЛУГА)
В крупнейших городах мира самым дешевым, быстрым и эффективным способом передвижения часто является метро. Это, безусловно, верно в Токио, городе с населением около 13 миллионов человек и самой загруженной подземной системой в мире. Ежегодно в токийском метро совершается около трех миллиардов пассажирских рейсов. Неудивительно, что, учитывая такие цифры, условия путешествия в часы пик могут быть чрезвычайно неудобными. Некоторые вагоны метро заполнены на 160% в час пик.
3-А WILDLIFE IN DANGER (ДИКАЯ ПРИРОДА В ОПАСНОСТИ)
Великолепные райские леса Юго-Восточной Азии , включающие тропические леса, болотные леса, прибрежные и мангровые леса , являются домом для невероятного разнообразия видов и сотен местных культур. К сожалению, эти леса вырубаются со скоростью, равной которой нет нигде на Земле. Суматранский Тигр и самый большой в мире цветок, Раффлезия шириной в один метр, находятся под угрозой исчезновения. Кроме того, более 1000 языков, на которых говорят люди, называющие эти леса своим домом, могут исчезнуть.
4-D A GREAT MONUMENT OF CIVILISATION (ВЕЛИКИЙ ПАМЯТНИК ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИИ)
Афинский Акрополь-самый известный Акрополь в мире. Акрополь-скала с плоской вершиной в центре города, возвышающаяся на 150 метров над уровнем моря. Акрополь был важным местом на протяжении тысяч лет. Он имеет несколько известных зданий на вершине своей вершины, наиболее заметным из которых является Парфенон, храм, построенный в 6 веке до н. э. в честь греческой богини Афины. Акрополь — это великолепное место истинный Завет на славу Древней Греции.
5-H EXPLORING THE PAST (ИЗУЧЕНИЕ ПРОШЛОГО)
Йорк — красивый средневековый город, и в течение последних тринадцати лет Брайан Ларкин принимает посетителей на уникальной прогулке вокруг него. Его тур отличается тем, что, по его словам, он хочет дать людям понимание того, как на самом деле жили обычные люди в прошлом. Когда он снимает их с некоторых из самых темных переулков и переулков Йорка, Брайан дает посетителям Бегущий комментарий о том, какая жизнь была без преимуществ электричества или современной сантехники.
6-С A NATURE LOVER’S DELIGHT (ВОСТОРГ ЛЮБИТЕЛЯ ПРИРОДЫ)
Впечатляющие горные хребты, захватывающие дух пейзажи и богатая дикая природа делают Непал одним из самых популярных туристических направлений для тех, кто любит природу. Родина самой высокой горы в мире — Эвереста , топография Непала находится на высоте от 70 до 8848 метров над уровнем моря. Дикая природа, например тигры, носороги, обезьяны, медведи и леопарды бродят в лесах , на лугах и в пустынях Непала. 10% всех видов птиц летают на небе этой прекрасной стране.
7-A IMPERIAL BEGINNINGS ( ИМПЕРСКИЕ НАЧИНАНИЯ)
Эрмитаж в Санкт-Петербурге — крупнейшая художественная галерея в мире, насчитывающая более трех миллионов произведений от Микеланджело до Матисса. Коллекции представлены в огромном комплексе из шести зданий, включая Зимний дворец, официальную резиденцию русских царей. Эрмитажная коллекция начиналась как частная коллекция императрицы Екатерины Великой и была существенно расширена последующими царями, а также Советским государством, в великолепную коллекцию, которой она является сегодня.
