6 Read the two travel blogs and answer the questions.

Anders:

I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru. It was the best holiday ever! It took four days to
climb to the top of the mountain, and I was very tired when we finished. But the old
Inca city looked much more beautiful than the photos you see in magazines or on
TV! At first it was quiet because there weren’t many people around. We watched the
sunrise, and the city looked very mysterious. Then the train arrived, and it got much
busier and noisier with lots of tourists taking photos. I have a lot of photos, too!

Maria:

Last week I went to Shanghai. It was amazing! It’s huge! In fact, it’s the largest city
in China with a population of 24 million. We stayed in a hotel in the Bund, the old
part of the city, and saw the older, more traditional houses built by the French. Then
we visited the newer part of the city and rode up the Shanghai Tower. This is the
tallest building in Shanghai! Yesterday, I bought lots of clothes. They were much
cheaper than in New York and are all famous designer names!

1 How many people live in Shanghai? 24 million people live in Shanghai.

2 Did Maria climb the tallest building in Shanghai?
3 Did she buy any designer clothes?
