Language points
2. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones.
(1) I think 為主句，后面是省略了連接詞that的賓語從句。
如：I think maths is more difficult than English.
(2) ones 作代詞，指代wonders, ones 指代復數名詞時，指同類不同物。
如: These pictures are more colourful than those ones.
3. Hmm, I’ve never seen it, so I’m not sure I agree with you.
(1) 并列連詞so 連接兩個分句， 表因果關系。
如：The work has been finished, so you needn’t come.
(2) be (not) sure (不) 確定。 其后接不定式，也可接從句。
如：I’m sure to come.
I’m not sure you are right.
4. That sounds great, though I think Victory Falls in Africa is even more fantastic.
though 作連詞, “雖然; 盡管”, 引導讓步狀語從句, 從句可放在主句前或主句后, 不能與but 或however 出現在同一個句子中。
如：
Though he was tired, he went on working.
Lucy often helps me with my English, though she is very busy.
5. It’s about 1,700 metres wide and 100 metres high.
物體長、寬、高等的表達為：
數詞+計量詞+ long/wide/high
相當于 “ 數詞+計量詞+in length/width/height”。
如：The river is about 2,000 metres long.
= The river is about 2,000 metres in length.
2,000 years old
15 metres wide
100 metres high
