Reading 3a Experiences of a Lifetime Reading & Speaking
Have you ever had an experience that has changed your life? These three young adventurers have! They told 'Young Traveller' all about it. [Рисунок: крупная рыба; справа — дайвер под водой.]
1 a) 6.3.3.1 Describe the pictures. What can you see, hear, smell? b) 6.1.6.1 Do you know these places? Write a question about each. 🎧 Listen and read. Were your questions answered?
THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA Nicky has just come back from her fantastic trip to the biggest coral reef on Earth. She says, "The reef is 2,000 km long. I've heard that you can even see it from space! I swam with dolphins and turtles. It was thrilling. There are also over 1,500 species of colourful fish on the reef and they aren't afraid of curious divers. I've taken some amazing underwater photos!"
MACHU PICCHU, PERU [Рисунок: каменные руины Мачу-Пикчу среди гор.] Mary has just been on 'the Inca Trail', a famous jungle hike to the City of the Incas. Mary tells us, "Machu Picchu is an ancient city in the mountains, 2,430 metres above sea level. The 4-day journey up was challenging and amazing! There were spectacular mountain views and rare wildlife – I even saw a hummingbird! People say the ruins were a holiday resort for rich Incas. The Incas built temples, houses and [обрезано], and time hasn't destroyed many of them. It's a very mysterious place because nobody knows why the Incas left. I had a brilliant time!"
ALTYN EMEL, KAZAKHSTAN [Рисунок: песчаная дюна.] Not many people can say they've visited a singing hill. Kanat has done that! "The singing dune is a really unique place," he explains. "You drive along a track, and among several trees, you can see eagles, lizards and wild donkeys. Then, you see three tall stones. A legend says that Shyngys Khan put them there, 800 years ago. When you arrive at the tall dune, you walk to the top and as you slide down, it starts to make a loud and beautiful 'singing' sound! In the past, the area was covered in apple forests. It's my new favourite place!"

Коротко: правильно читать — это читать по смысловым группам, с паузами, и проверять понимание по самому тексту, а не переводить каждое слово отдельно.
Как читать вслух
- Если есть аудио к заданию 1b, сначала прослушай текст целиком, потом читай вместе с диктором.
- Дели предложение на смысловые куски:
Nicky has just come back / from her fantastic trip / to the biggest coral reef on Earth.
В каждом куске выделяй главное слово: come back, fantastic trip, coral reef. Служебные слова — has, from, to, the, on — читай слитно и без ударения.
- На точке делай паузу длиннее, чем на запятой. В конце утверждения голос идёт вниз, в конце общего вопроса — вверх.
- Не «проглатывай» окончания. Трудные слова проверяй по словарю: species — /ˈspiːʃiːz/, ancient — /ˈeɪnʃənt/, curious — /ˈkjʊəriəs/.
О чём тексты
Ники рассказывает о Большом Барьерном рифе, Мэри — о походе к Мачу-Пикчу, Канат — о поющей дюне в Казахстане.

Четвёртый пункт на фото обрезан, поэтому его я не проверяю.
