A Shangri-La is an imaginary location described in the novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. It is a tranquil haven in the Tibetan mountains, a place which casts a spell on all who live there. Today, the word Shangri-La is synonymous with a place of complete and utter bliss, delight and peace – an earthly utopia. Robert Kuok, founder of Asia’s leading luxury hotel group, the Shangri-La hotels and resorts group, drew inspiration for his company’s name from Lost Horizon.
B In the world’s largest cities, the cheapest, fastest and most efficient way to move around is often by underground. This is certainly true In Tokyo, a city of some 13 million people and home to the busiest underground system in the world. Every year, around three billion passenger journeys are taken on the Tokyo subway. Unsurprisingly, given such numbers, travel conditions during peak hours can be extremely uncomfortable. Some subway cars are filled to 160% of capacity during rush hour.
C The magnificent Paradise Forests of South-east Asia – comprising rainforests, swamp forests, coastal and mangrove forests – are home to an extraordinary diversity of species and hundreds of indigenous cultures. Tragically, these forests are being logged at a rate unequalled anywhere else on Earth. The Sumatran tiger and the world’s largest flower, the one metre wide rafflesia, are threatened. Similarly, more than 1,000 languages spoken by the people who call these forests home could vanish.
D The Acropolis of Athens is the most famous acropolis in the world. A flat-topped rock in the middle of the city, rising 150 metres above sea level, the Acropolis has been a place of importance for thousands of years. It has several famous buildings on top of its summit, the most notable being the Parthenon, a temple erected in the 6th century BC to honour the Greek goddess Athena. The Acropolis is a magnificent site, a true testament to the glory that was ancient Greece.
E York is a beautiful medieval city and for the last thirteen years Brian Larkin has been taking visitors on a unique waking tour around it. His tour is different because, he says, he wants to give people an understanding of how ordinary people really lived in the past. As he takes them down some of York’s darkest side streets and alleyways, Brian gives visitors a running commentary on what life was like without the benefits of electricity or modem plumbing.
F Spectacular mountain ranges, breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife make Nepal one of the most popular travel destinations for those who love the outdoors. Home to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, Nepal’s topography soars from 70 metres to 8,848 metres above sea level. Wildlife like tigers, rhinos, monkeys, bears and leopards roam Nepal’s forests, grasslands and deserts. 10% of the world’s bird species can be found flying in the skies of this beautiful country.
G The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia, has the largest art collection in the world, with over three million exhibits, including works ranging from Michelangelo to Matisse. The collections are displayed in a vast complex of six buildings, including the Winter Palace, the official residence of the Russian tsars. The Hermitage collection began as the private collection of the Empress Catherine the Great and was substantially expanded by succeeding tsars, as well as the Soviet State, into the superb collection it is today.

Перевод D: Афинский Акрополь — самый известный акрополь в мире. Это плоская скала в центре города, возвышающаяся на 150 метров над уровнем моря. Акрополь был важным местом на протяжении тысячелетий. На его вершине находится несколько знаменитых зданий, самое известное из которых — Парфенон, храм, построенный в VI веке до н. э. в честь греческой богини Афины. Акрополь — великолепное место, подлинное свидетельство славы Древней Греции.

Перевод G: Эрмитаж в Санкт-Петербурге, Россия, обладает крупнейшей в мире коллекцией произведений искусства — более трёх миллионов экспонатов, включая работы от Микеланджело до Матисса. Коллекции размещены в огромном комплексе из шести зданий, включая Зимний дворец, официальную резиденцию русских царей. Коллекция Эрмитажа началась как личное собрание императрицы Екатерины Великой и была значительно расширена последующими царями, а также Советским государством, превратившись в великолепную коллекцию, какой она является сегодня.

9) Example:

One of the most interesting places in my country is the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. It is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. The museum is located in the city centre and attracts millions of visitors every year. It was founded by Catherine the Great and now has an enormous collection of paintings, sculptures and historical objects. I like it because it is both beautiful and educational.
