Текст аудирования:
Presenter: Hello and welcome to The Trip of a Lifetime on 101.2 Teen FM. If you’ve listened to the programme before, you’ll know that we interview a young traveller each week about a trip they’re planning. On today’s programme we have Megan Douglas who’s planning a trip to the Australian Outback. So, if anyone is interested in joining the trip, please call in.
Megan: Hello.
Presenter: Megan, I understand you’re going on a trip Down Under.
Megan: That’s right. But I’m not going to Sydney or the Gold Coast like most tourists. I’m going into the rugged Outback.
Presenter: What exactly is the Outback?
Megan: Well, the Outback is the remote, rural part of Australia - which, for the most part, means the desert. A lot of the Outback is desert. Did you know that it’s the driest continent on Earth?
Question one. What part of Australia is the Outback?
Presenter: Really? That’s interesting. So tell us about the places you’re going to see.
Megan: Well, I’ll spend most of my time in the Kimberley region.
Presenter: Wheretasks that exactly?
Megan: Well, it’s a large region in the northern part of the state of Western Australia. Western Australis is one of the states in Australia. It’s the one that Perth is located in. But I won’t go to Perth on this trip - perhaps on my next trip. I’ll be in the north for most of my time. I’m going to Darwin, Kakadu National Park and Kimberley.
Question two. Which place is Megan not going to visit?
Megan: The landscape there is supposed to be amazing. I’m told its beauty has to be seen to be believed. Apparently, what makes it special are all the different colours. Many parts of the Outback are bright red. A big part of the desert is red.
Presenter: Really?
Megan: Yes! But it’s not all desert. In Kimberley, the landscape will be very varied. As well as desert there are lakes, waterfalls, rivers and even patches of green forest! Also, many different tribes of Aborigines live in this part of Australia and on this trip we could be lucky and see some of them as well as some ancient Aboriginal rock art.
Question three. What is special about this part of Australia?
Presenter: Do you think you’ll see any of the many poisonous or dangerous animals Australia is famous for?
Megan: Actually, yes. I hope we’ll see some crocodiles, or should I say crocs - that’s what they’re called in Australia. We are flying into Darwin before heading to Kimberley, and we’re going to visit Kakadu National Park. They say it is very green, unspoilt and absolutely gorgeous. Presenter: Is that where you can see the crocodiles?
Megan: Yes, you can usually see crocs sunning themselves on the banks of the Alligator Rivers.
Question four. Where can Megan see crocodiles?
Presenter: Are they crocs or alligators?
Megan: They are most definitely crocs. The rivers are called Alligator Rivers because an English explorer of the 19th century. Phillip Parker Kina. mistook the crocodiles for alligators and he named them Alligator Rivers.
Presenter: Oh, I see. So he thought they were alligators, but they were in fact crocodiles. Are you a little nervous about seeing crocodiles?
Megan: Not really. We’ll be on a boat so there really is no danger of us being attacked or anything. In fact, I’m sure they’ll just ignore us as we sail by.
Question five. How did Alligator Rivers get their name?
Presenter: Any other exciting plans?
Megan: Yes, we’re going on a camel safari.
Presenter: Camels? Do they have camels in Australia?
Megan: Yes, they most certainly do. There are a lot of wild ones too. They were brought there by the early explorers to use as transport in the desert when they were exploring. There are a lot of wild camels wandering in the desert now. It’s amazing that anything can survive in such hot and dry conditions.
Presenter: Yes, quite. How hot will it get?
Megan: When we are there it could reach 40 degrees.
Presenter: That’s hot!
Question six. What do we learn about the camels in Australia?
