Стр.126 Revision 3 ГДЗ Комарова Ларионова 8 класс

Reading

1. Read the text. What can you see at Thunderbird Park?

   Thunderbird Park

   If you go to Victoria in the Canadian region of British Columbia, you must visit Thunderbird Park. It’s a wonderful place full of huge totem poles. It’s next to the Royal British Columbian Museum, where you can see native Canadian masks, jewellery and costumes. Thunderbird Park was opened in 1941, and it’s got both historical and modern totem poles. You can even buy new totem poles there, but they’re very expensive. That’s because they take a long time to make — if you ordered one now, you’d have to wait about a year!

   Traditional totem poles were made for different reasons. They were often used to tell stories, or to remember historic events. The poles are made of cedar wood. The tree trunk is carved and decorated with figures and symbols. Then it’s painted in bright colours.

   Thunderbird Park has got a great collection, but it hasn’t got the world’s tallest totem pole. That’s in Alert Bay, which is also in British Columbia. It’s 56 m tall, but it’s made from two tree trunks. Maybe that’s cheating!
