Komodo island is located between

Sumbawa and Flores, along western Nusa
Tenggara Timur, and is popular for the presence of
giant Monitor Lizards known as Komodo Dragons.
The island is arid, rugged and barren and forms a
part of the Komodo National Park and Marine
Reserve. Aerial views prove that it is inarguably,
among the most beautiful places in Indonesia.
The best time to visit the park is during the dry season, which runs from
April to December.
Besides spotting endangered Komodo dragons, a range of activities can
be enjoyed at the Komodo National Park such as go for kayaking, diving,
trekking or the guided island tours.

Around Komodo Island can be relatively easy, but to get to Komodo, you
first need to travel to Bali and then to Labuan Bajo by either plane or boat, and
finally to Komodo Island by boat. A couple of local airlines fly from Bali to Labuan
Bajo on Flores Island.

The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum

recognised as 'the jewel of Muslim art in India'. It is
regarded as one of the finest examples of Mughal
architecture – an amalgamation of Persian, Turkish
and Indian styles.
The most impressive in the Taj Mahal complex next to the tomb, is the main
gate, which stands majestically in the centre of the southern wall of the forecourt.
The gate is flanked on the north front by double arcade galleries. The garden in front
of the galleries is subdivided into four quarters by two main walkways and each
quarters in turn subdivided by the narrower cross-axial walkways, on the Timurid-
Persian scheme of the walled in garden. The enclosure walls on the east and west
have a pavilion at the centre.
The Taj Mahal is a perfect symmetrical planned building, with an emphasis
of bilateral symmetry along a central axis on which the main features are placed.
The building material used is brick-in-lime mortar veneered with red sandstone and
marble and inlay work of precious/semi precious stones. The mosque and the guest
house in the Taj Mahal complex are built of red sandstone in contrast to the marble
tomb in the centre. Both the buildings have a large platform over the terrace at their
front. Both the mosque and the guest house are the identical structures. They have
an oblong massive prayer hall consist of three vaulted bays arranged in a row with
central dominant portal. The frame of the portal arches and the spandrels are
veneered in white marble. The spandrels are filled with flowery arabesques of stone
intarsia and the arches bordered with rope molding.
The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in a vast
Mughal garden that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the Agra District in Uttar
Pradesh. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz
Mahal with construction starting in 1632 AD and completed in 1648 AD, with the
mosque, the guest house and the main gateway on the south, the outer courtyard
and its cloisters were added subsequently and completed in 1653 AD. The existence
of several historical and Qur’anic inscriptions in Arabic script have facilitated setting
the chronology of Taj Mahal.

Derawan Island is a favorite place for

exploring marine life. There are many rare animals
such as the green turtle, the scarlet turtle, star fruit
turtle and sea cow. The place is also home to many
rare species of marine plants and coral reef. It is also
a good place for scuba diving, pearl diving, fishing,
swimming and other water sports.
The entire marine conservancy region covers a total area of no less than 1.27
million hectares. It is the perfect tropical qparadise with warm, isolated islands, soft
white sand beaches fringed with waving palm trees, pristine seas that change color
from green to deep blue, and an amazing underwater life of giant turtles, dolphins,
manta rays, dugongs and barracudas, stingless jellyfish and sometimes, whales.
Here, you can find 460 different species of corals, ranking this area second only to
the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua. The Nature Conservancy and a team of
international experts also found more than 870 species of fish here, ranging from
tiny pygmy seahorses to giant manta rays. So, if you love marine life and water sport,
Darawan island is waiting for you.
It is located just away from the mainland of East Kalimantan in the district of
Berau, the Derawan archipelago comprises 31 islands, most well-known among
these are the islands of Derawan, Maratua, Sangalaki and Kakaban. Here is
Indonesia’s largest nesting site of the rare and endangered giant green turtles and
hawksbill turtles, where one can daily watch turtles lay their eggs in the sand or
swim to sea with the turtles.
The best time to visit this fascinating island is during the months of
September and March, when temperatures are much cooler-in the vicinity of 27°C
with pleasant sea breezes.

Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House, a world-class performing arts venue and iconic
Australian landmark, defines the Sydney Harbour in the heart of the city. Designed by
Danish architect Jorn Utzon, the structure is a masterpiece of late 20th-century
architecture, despite challenges that plagued the 15- year project before it was formally
opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973. Distinguished by soaring halls with a white
ceramic-tiled exterior shaped to evoke the sails of a yacht, this UNESCO World Heritage
Site is a must- see Sydney attraction.
The Sydney Opera House is a
highlight of any city tour or harbor cruise,
and it is well worth an up-close look, too. It’s
best explored as part of a guided tour, either
a guided walking option that hits highlights of
the building's history and architecture or an
in- depth tour that goes backstage to concert
halls, green rooms, and studios usually off-
limits to visitors. Given that this is a functioning performance venue, visitors can also
experience the Opera House by attending a show, whether pairing a theater
performance with dinner as part of an evening package, or dining along the waterfront
before a night of ballet.
Attending a performance at the Opera House is a must for music, dance, and
theater fans. Tickets for tours and events often sell out, so it’s best to book in advance.
Public areas of the complex are wheelchair accessible, and accessible show
seating is available for all performances (seats must be pre-booked, and availability is
limited).
Unless visiting on a guided tour, travelers are unable to access the Concert Hall
and Joan Sutherland Theatre foyers or performance spaces. The Opera House complex
contains restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, and outdoor plazas.
Task 2: Answer these questions

1. What is the writer’s recommendation in visiting Sydney Opera House?
2. When reading the text?What might a music lover do?
3. What does the text tell us about?
4. What are the shells on top of the Sydney Oper House based upon?
5. Who was the Sydney Opera House opened by?
Task 3: Read the above text one more time then analize its langguage elemen
using this table.

Tongkonan is the traditional ancestral
house, or Rumah adat of the Torajan people, in
South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tongkonan have a
distinguishing boat-shaped and oversized
saddleback roof. Like most of Indo's Austronesian-
based traditional architecture tongkonan are built
on piles. The construction of tongkonan is
laborious work and it is usually built with the help
of all family members or friends. In the original
Toraja society, only nobles had the right to build
tongkonan. Commoners live in smaller and less -
decorated homes called ba Tongkonan are customarily built facing north-south. Dominating
the entire structure is the saddleback roof with gables that are dramatically upswept. The
internal space is small in comparison with the overwhelming roof structure that covers it.
Interiors are typically cramped and dark with few windows, however, most of daily life is
lived outside the homes, with interiors simply intended for sleeping, storage, meetings and
occasionally protection.
A large tongkonan can take a crew of ten about three months to build and another
month to carve and paint the outside walls. Bamboo scaffold is erected for the duration of the
construction phase. Traditionally tongue and groove joinery has been used without the need
for nails. A number of components are pre-fabricated with final assembly in-situ. Although
built on a log cabin-style sub-structure, tongkonan are set on large vertical wooden piles with
mortises cut into their ends to grasp the horizontal tie beams. The tops of the piles are
notched for the longitudinal and transverse beams that support the upper structure. The
remainder of the sub-structure is assembled in-situ. The transverse beams are fitted into the
notched piles, and then notched to fit the longitudinal beams. Side panels, which are often
decorated, are then formed on these main horizontal beams. The distinctive curved roof
shape is obtained through a series of vertical hanging spars supporting upwardly angled
beams. A vertical free-standing pole supports that portion of the ridge pole extending beyond
the ridge purlin. Bamboo staves bound with rattan are assembled transversely in layers and
tied longitudinally to the rafters forming the roof. The under roofing is of bamboo culm.
Wooden boards laid over thick hardwood joists form the floors. Nowadays, zinc roofing
sheets and nails are increasingly used.
The tongkonan at Ke'te' Kesu' is reputed to be 500 years old; too old to trace a direct
descendant from the founder to maintain the title that goes with the house. The buildings
themselves, however, are constantly maintained and renewed, thus this age refers to the

PRONOUNCE PRACTICE
Listen to your teacher reading these words. Repeat after him/her.
VISITING NIAGARA FALLS
Niagara Falls is the collective name for three

waterfalls that cross the international border between
the Canadian province of Ontario and the USA’s state of
New York. They form the southern end of the Niagara
Gorge. From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are
the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal
Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie on the Canadian side
and the American Falls on the American side. They are
separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are
also located on the American side, separated from the
other waterfalls by Luna Island. There are various
attractions that people can enjoy in Niagara Falls, six of
them are described here.
The first to enjoy in Niagara Falls is Cave of the Winds. This attraction helps people get
closer to the falls and go face-to-face with the pounding waters of the Falls. People can get
soaked on the Hurricane Deck where they are just feet from the thundering waters. Waterproof
clothing and sandals are provided. A trip at night when the Falls are illuminated in a rainbow of
color is really amazing.
The second charm is Maid of the Mist Boat Tour. It is a world-famous scenic boat tour
of the American and Canadian Falls for about a half-hour ride. People may access the tour via
the Observation Tower elevator at Prospect Point in the state park. The boat operates mid-May
until late October.
20
The next to visit in Niagara Falls is Niagara Adventure Theater. Here tourists may
enjoy the most powerful and involving film experience that brings reality to life on a 45-foot
screen. Audience members are given the priviledge to discover the thundering Falls from a
completely new and exhilarating perspective, and plunge over them. The theater shows hourly
and free multi-language headsets are made available.
Niagara Science Museum is another place to visit. It is a sanctuary for the preservation
and appreciation of old science instruments and philosophical apparatus.
The fifth point of interest is Niagara’s Wax Museum of History. Here, life-size wax
figures portraying dramatic history of Niagara Falls are presented to guests. They can see Fort
Niagara Scene, Indian Village, old store, blacksmith and barber shop scenes and how electricity
is made. Wax figures of Julia Roberts, Princess Diana and many more are displayed here, too.
Finally, people can also enjoy Rainbow Air Helicopter Tours above and around the
American and Canadian Falls. The tours start from downtown, next to the entrance to the
Rainbow Bridge, and open from 9am to dusk when weather permits. The tours operate every
day from second weekend in May until October 31st.
The Niagara Falls are renowned both for their beauty and as a valuable source of
