Tony:Let`s call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant`s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder.
Lingling:Hm,I`ve never seen it,so I`m not sure I agree with you.Why do you like it,Tony?
Tony:Well,I visited the Giant`s Causeway two years ago.It`s huge. There`re about 40,000 rocks,most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastem coast of Northem Ireland.
Lingling:That sounds great,though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They`re about 1,700 metres wide and 100 metres high.You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away.
Betty:Wow,tha`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 about 2,300 metres long,185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It
produces electricity for millions of people in China.
Betty:Now,who`d like to call first?
