Host | What are your impressions of Britain, Mrs Globetrotter? |
Mrs Globetrotter |
The first thing you notice is that the coins are heavier, the buildings are redder and the grass is greener. |
Host | What are the British like? |
Mrs Globetrotter |
Well, I think they're quieter than we are and not very outgoing. Their manners are better than ours. |
Host | In what way is Britain better than Canada? |
Mrs Globetrotter | It's easier to travel around because Britain is a lot smaller than Canada. |
Host | Canada is the second largest country in the world, isn't it? |
Mrs Globetrotter |
That's right. So, everything in Britain is rather small. The
highest
mountain, for example, is Ben Nevis - 1,343 metres. Our mountains are much higher. And the longest rivers in Britain are the Severn - 354 km and the River Thames - 346 km. |
Host | I see. Anything else? |
Mrs Globetrotter | Well, what I like best about Britain is its beautiful countryside. |
Host | Is it more beautiful than ours? |
Mrs Globetrotter |
Well, it's difficult to say. Maybe it is more beautiful. But Canada has many different kinds of landscape, you know, like forests, prairies and tundra. |
Host | Oh, yes. Our evergreen forests, clear lakes ... |
Mrs Globetrotter |
... and further inland, the vast farmlands. I think Canada's landscape is more varied than Britain's. But then the weather here is much worse than in Britain. Our climate is much >more severe. |
Host | In what way is Britain worse than Canada? |
Mrs Globetrotter |
One thing is for sure - the food is much worse than ours. Their beer and coffee are also worse. |
Host | Thank you, Mrs Globetrotter. |
Mrs Globetrotter | Not at all. |
