16. Talk about a short trip to Edinburgh and what you can see there (Listening Comprehension. Text: “A Visit to Scotland”).

Traveling is necessary for all of us as it is a kind of relaxation and a good opportunity to relax your body, broadens our mind as well. Many people like visiting beautiful places and look forward to going on a holiday just to escape from their daily routine, even if their trip will be very short.

There are many fascinating cities all over the world. And Edinburgh is one of them. A coach tour of this city will take your breath away. On this tour you can see the castles, Edinburgh castle which is very beautiful and impressive indeed. And then from there you can go past the cathedral, St. Giles Cathedral and on down to Holyrood Palace. These places are really worth exploring. You can plunge into the atmosphere of history and mystery. After that you have an opportunity to visit the so-called “New Town”, that was built in the 18th century, and River Forth that’s about 10 miles from Edinburgh. One is a “Road bridge” and the other is a “Rail bridge” for trains.

The hub of the city is also worth visiting. Here you can catch a glimpse of marvelous buildings or just meander along narrow cobbled-stone street, searching for history or finding a treasury of new beauties.

There are also a wide diversity of shops in Edinburgh, where you can buy lot’s of woolens, sweaters, tartans, if you want to buy some Scottish.

So to sum it all up, I would like to say that it you have a burning desire to meet face to face with history and to get inspiration from traveling, Edinburgh is just for you. Thiscitymerits a visit.
