The most beautiful places in the world

Bonan tagon!

So far we have discussed personal descriptions in a number of ways. The grammatical approach helped us realize that we can define somebody by using a noun (she’s a genius) and adjective (he’s trustworthy) or a whole phrase (Jo is someone I can talk to). We have also tackled character traits and physical appearances (just remember the clip about women’s beauty throughout history and men’s beauty in different cultures). For those of you who are willing to go the extra mile and pick up some more vocabulary here is an interesting video that presents some beauty standards that may seem shocking in this part of the world.

Anyway, soon we’re going to deal with beautiful places. Not people. In anticipation of the inevitable classroom conversations here is one of the zillions of lists that clutter the Internet. The actual contents of the list are, of course, debatable but the vocabulary it shows may come in handy.
