Упр.14 What’s economic geography about? ГДЗ Enjoy English 11 класс
Work in small groups. Design a project that could help the economic development in Siberia. Use the following ideas or your own ones. Concentrate on ONE problem only.
- Enhancing / Modernising the transport system
- Setting up new enterprises
- Implementing new technologies to extract minerals
- Taking measures to stimulate the agricultural sector
- Investing in the infrastructure to attract a new labour force
- Collaborating with neighbouring countries in using and managing natural resources
- Initiating joint construction projects
- Your own idea
You may find some of the following ideas useful for your project:
- Constructing bridges and tunnels which could connect Sakhalin and Kamchatka with the mainland. Nowadays oil, minerals, fish, and timber are transported to the mainland by ferries across the Tatar Strait; most consumer goods are delivered to the islands by sea too.
- Connecting Europe with Japan and Korea via Siberia and the Far East. The transport corridor would increase the economic significance of the Trans-Siberian Railway dramatically; the distance between Sakhalin and the Japanese island Hokkaido is only 40 km, which would make constructing a bridge quite possible.
- Creating an extended transport network based on the Trans-Siberian Railway jointly with China and Korea. The latter countries have already got their railway networks, which could be integrated with the Russian railway, though a considerable technical unification would be necessary.
- Modernising the Siberian railway system with maglevs. This system could make the goods exchange between Europe, Siberia and Pacific region very quick and fully computerized.
- Investing in the tourist business in Siberia in order to spur the economy of the region. The unique wildlife in Siberia could attract lots of tourists if the necessary infrastructure were created.
- Focusing on agriculture. Agricultural reforms and innovations could make Siberia one of the more attractive regions for living.
One possible project is to invest in the tourist business in Siberia in order to spur the economy of the region.
Siberia has unique nature, clean air, beautiful rivers, mountains and wildlife. These features can attract many tourists from Russia and other countries. To make tourism successful, it is necessary to improve roads, build comfortable hotels, develop transport links and create safe routes for travellers.
This project would help local people get new jobs in hotels, restaurants, transport and service companies. It would also bring more money into the region and support small businesses. In addition, tourism can help people learn more about Siberia and its natural beauty.
So, developing tourism is a good way to improve the economic situation in Siberia.
