^ INTERLOCUTOR CARD

You and your friend are discussing different countries:

	-	+
Scotland	- In my opinion, there aren’t many big cities there or world-famous sights except Edinburgh and Loch-Ness. - The climate of Scotland is wet. Showers and fogs are rather frequent. - The Scots have such a strong accent that we’d hardly understand them.	- I think it is a good opportunity to learn a lot about Scottish culture and lifestyle. -It might be fun to try traditional Scottish food, to enjoy the wild beauty of this remote part of Great Britain. - We would have a good chance to meet men wearing kilts and playing bag-pipes.
Wales	- There wouldn’t be much to do except visiting castles there. - I don’t like the idea of going to Wales where all the road signs are believed to be written in the Welsh language. - Wales is sparsely populated. It must be rather boring there.	- On the contrary, there are many things that could be visited: distinctive towns such as St.David’s and Pembroke; national parks - Snowdonia, the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire Coast.. - We could try traditional Cornish and Welsh pastries and listen to quire singing in Methodist chapels.
the USA	- It would take us long to get a visa. - Plane tickets are very expensive. I am afraid of flying by plane and I feel airsick. - The USA is called “a new world”. There aren’t many historic places of interest there. I don’t think our trip will be too cognitive.	- Americans are easy-going and we can make a lot of new friends. - We could never have a chance of going there again. - We’d be able to practice our English. - America is said to be the only country where all types of scenery can be seen (mountains, valleys, vast snow plains of Alaska, forests, mighty rivers and even deserts)
Australia	- International airplane travelers often experience a jet lag when traveling across several time zones. - I don’t feel like spending so much time on board the plane. - They say it is very hot in Australia all year around.	- We could spot many exotic animals, visit the original landing place of Captain Cook. - We could go windsurfing. It is very popular there. - We could practice our speaking skills and compare Australian English with British English.
