And I think the Giant ’s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder. Lingling: Hm, I ’ve never seen it, so I ’m not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony? Tony: Well, I visited the Giant ’s Causeway two years ago. It ’s huge. There’re about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred meters on the eastern coast of Northern Ireland. Lingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They ’re about 1,700 meters wide and 100 meters high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometers away. Betty: Wow, that’s huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It ’msore than 2,000 years old. Daming: I agree with you. Betty.
