Стр.126 Revision 3 ГДЗ Комарова Ларионова 8 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Комарова, Ларионова 8 класс, Русское слово: 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!

Текст аудирования:
1 If I could go to Canada on holiday? Well, I’d love to visit Niagara Falls. I’ve seen a programme about it on television and it looks amazing! I’d like to take a boat trip, so you can see the Falls from the bottom …
2 Well, if I went to Canada, I’d go to an Avril Lavigne concert. She’s Canadian, isn’t she? I think she’s from Ontario. I really like her music, so that’s what I would do.
3 In Canada? I’d visit relatives there. My aunt and uncle emigrated to Canada about ten years ago, and I’ve never been to see them there. I only see them when they come back to Britain, about once a year. I’ve seen photos of their house and it looks really nice. I’d like to go over but it’s too expensive …
4 I think I’d go to Vancouver if I went to Canada. I don’t know much about Canada really, but I’ve heard that Vancouver is a really nice city. I think there’s an island too — Vancouver Island? And you don’t have to speak French in Vancouver, do you?
5 Oh, it would be fantastic! I’d go skiing in the Rockies!
I love skiing and I sometimes go in the Alps. But the Rockies would be great. I’d definitely go skiing, and I’d probably try snowboarding as well…
