「講英文或寫英文就像開車，有時候你要繼續前行，有時候會轉彎，還有些時候得給人一些警示，有時候要停止。」好好地用Go（行）、Stop（停）Turn（轉彎）、警示（caution）這四類「訊號字」，講英文就像行雲流水，想走就走，該停就停。怎麼用？






55. Temple-gaze at Abu Simbel, Egypt

These big, old and beautiful monuments are so great they were actually built twice. Originally carved out of a cliff to honour Ramses II in the 13th century BC, the Great Temple and smaller Temple of Hathor were then cut up and relocated, block by block, in the 1960s to save them from the waters of the Nile, caused by the creation of Lake Nasser. Secure on the new riverbank, the 33m-high facade impresses and interrogates visitors, just as it has for thousands of years.
Make it happen: There are sound and light shows 7pm-10pm, which add another dimension. Avoid visiting in the afternoon, when temperatures are at their max.


Questions:
1. What countries/places have you traveled to?
2. What impressed you the most after traveling?
3. What was your most extraordinary “culture shock” experience in another country?
4. How does Taiwan compare to there, in the country you have been to?
5. Where in the world would you love to travel? Why?
