Tapescript, Reading & Critical thinking
Around the world in ten minutes
London is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Everything costs so much. Prices are sky high, and the traffic is terrible. Public transport is expensive and slow. The underground is overcrowded and dirty. You have to pay to drive through the middle of London. Buses in London can be slow, but the underground is quite fast. London is a really safe city. Three are so many historic buildings and wonderful places to visit: museums, theatres, beautiful shops and big parks.
New York is the biggest city in the USA, but it is not the capital of the country. Washington is the capital. But, New York is one of the world's most important business centers and a busy port. The statue of liberty, which is at the entrance of the harbour, is a symbol of freedom and welcomes visitors from other countries. New York has more skyscrapers than any other city in the world. There are 47 buildings taller than 200 metres and three taller than 300 metres! Two of the most famous ones are the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building.
Paris is France's capital and its largest city. Many people think it is the most beautiful city in the world. Every year, more than two million tourists visit Paris. The most popular place to visit is the Eiffel Tower, a tall metal structure which is the symbol of Paris.
Tokyo is the capital of Japan. About seven percent of the population of the country live there, so it is very overcrowded. It is Japan's main business centre, and like New York, has skyscrapers and fast, wide roads. These are always filled with traffic, so Tokyo has some of the worst pollution in the world. Tokyo is the home of Japan's emperor, whose palace stands in a beautiful park in the centre of the city.
Cairo has the largest population of any city in Africa, and is the most important city in the Arab world. For more than a hundred years, Cairo has been an important centre for tourism, and visitors from all over the world come to see buildings from the time of the Ancient Egyptians, especially the Pyramids.

6- Read the following passage , then answer the questions:
In Egypt, the tourism industry has come to hold a position of great importance lately. It is felt that it could help increase the national income. In some European countries, tourism has brought in millions of dollars yearly, although they lack the natural and historical attractions we have in Egypt.
We could, for instance, establish tourist villages for children on the Red Sea. We could teach fishing, swimming, diving and sailing there. Another good idea would be a village in the New Valley for horse riding. And what about villages for people with health problems like rheumatism? The warm dry climate of Aswan and Helwan would certainly help them get better.
Our tourist today wants efficient and friendly service. He would probably prefer to try our samples of our local food rather than to eat the international meals, which are served, in some places.
It must also be remembered that most tourists nowadays are seldom rich. Many of them are students or hardworking employees. So what is needed is not expensive hotels but clean comfortable places to sleep and eat in at reasonable prices. This, too, would encourage Egyptians to travel more and more around their lovely country.

Tapescript, Reading & Critical thinking
Around the world in ten minutes
London is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Everything costs so much. Prices are sky high, and the traffic is terrible. Public transport is expensive and slow. The underground is overcrowded and dirty. You have to pay to drive through the middle of London. Buses in London can be slow, but the underground is quite fast. London is a really safe city. Three are so many historic buildings and wonderful places to visit: museums, theatres, beautiful shops and big parks.
New York is the biggest city in the USA, but it is not the capital of the country. Washington is the capital. But, New York is one of the world's most important business centers and a busy port. The statue of liberty, which is at the entrance of the harbour, is a symbol of freedom and welcomes visitors from other countries. New York has more skyscrapers than any other city in the world. There are 47 buildings taller than 200 metres and three taller than 300 metres! Two of the most famous ones are the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building.
Paris is France's capital and its largest city. Many people think it is the most beautiful city in the world. Every year, more than two million tourists visit Paris. The most popular place to visit is the Eiffel Tower, a tall metal structure which is the symbol of Paris.
Tokyo is the capital of Japan. About seven percent of the population of the country live there, so it is very overcrowded. It is Japan's main business centre, and like New York, has skyscrapers and fast, wide roads. These are always filled with traffic, so Tokyo has some of the worst pollution in the world. Tokyo is the home of Japan's emperor, whose palace stands in a beautiful park in the centre of the city.
Cairo has the largest population of any city in Africa, and is the most important city in the Arab world. For more than a hundred years, Cairo has been an important centre for tourism, and visitors from all over the world come to see buildings from the time of the Ancient Egyptians, especially the Pyramids.

6- Read the following passage , then answer the questions:
In Egypt, the tourism industry has come to hold a position of great importance lately. It is felt that it could help increase the national income. In some European countries, tourism has brought in millions of dollars yearly, although they lack the natural and historical attractions we have in Egypt.
We could, for instance, establish tourist villages for children on the Red Sea. We could teach fishing, swimming, diving and sailing there. Another good idea would be a village in the New Valley for horse riding. And what about villages for people with health problems like rheumatism? The warm dry climate of Aswan and Helwan would certainly help them get better.
Our tourist today wants efficient and friendly service. He would probably prefer to try our samples of our local food rather than to eat the international meals, which are served, in some places.
It must also be remembered that most tourists nowadays are seldom rich. Many of them are students or hardworking employees. So what is needed is not expensive hotels but clean comfortable places to sleep and eat in at reasonable prices. This, too, would encourage Egyptians to travel more and more around their lovely country.
