22. Audio Script
Listen to a travel guide talking about three cities:
'Welcome to our travel guide. Today we'll talk about three amazing cities. First, let's visit Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. It has a population of over 10 million people. Bangkok is famous for its beautiful temples and delicious street food. It is more affordable than many other big cities. I recommend visiting the Grand Palace and taking a boat ride on the Chao Phraya River.'
'Next, we have Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Seoul is a modern city with amazing technology. It is more crowded than Bangkok but it is very exciting. You can visit Gyeongbokgung Palace and try Korean BBQ. The nightlife in Seoul is incredible!'
'Finally, let's visit Rome, the capital of Italy. Rome is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is famous for the Colosseum and the Vatican. The food in Rome is fantastic - pizza and pasta are must-tries. Rome is more historic than the other two cities. It is like a living museum.'
