Situation 13:
Visiting the Grand Canyon(Mr. Pak and Su-mi finish their trip to
San Francisco.The next day they fly to the Grand Canyon. )
Today we are flying to the Grand Canyon.
Will it only take one hour?
No,it will take about two hours.
That's still a lot better than ten hours.
Yes,it is.And if we drove there in a car it would take almost thirteen hours.
Thirteen hours?I could never do that.I am glad we are flying there.
(Mr.Pak and Su - mi arrive at the airport and then take a bus to the Grand Canyon.)
There it is,the Grand Canyon.What do you think?
It's so big.I can't believe it.
Yes,we saw pictures of it, but it is too big for a picture.
Who made it?
Not who,but what.What made the Grand Canyon was a river.Can you see that water
at the bottom of the canyon?
Yes,I see it.
Well,that's the Colorado River.That river flowed for many tens of thousands
of years until it made this canyon.
Wow.But water looks so weak.
I know.But water is very strong.
This is a great vacation,Dad.I am learning a lot of English,and also about
nature and history.
Yes,that is why travelling can be an important part of studying.
