    Pyramids of Giza: The Wonders of Egypt


    4 Intermediate

    Emily and Grandpa Gus have set off on their first adventure! They're visiting Giza in
    Egypt.

    Your tutor will read each sentence in the story. Repeat after them and ask questions if
    you're unsure about anything. Make sure that you understand the Key Words!
    Exercise 1
    A Camel Ride

    Emily and Grandpa Gus start their adventure with a camel ride through the desert.

    Wow, Grandpa! This camel ride is so fun! It's like riding a horse, isn't it?

    Emily

    It sure is. But you won't see many horses in the desert!

    Gus

    Why's that? Is it too hot for them?

    Emily
    That's right, Emily! And it would be difficult for them to find food. But
    camels can eat almost anything — even cactuses!
    Gus

    Exercise 2
    The Great Pyramid
    Emily and Grandpa Gus make it to the Great Pyramid.

    This is the Great Pyramid, the largest of the three pyramids in Giza. It's
    made of over two million stone blocks!
    Gus

    Wow, that's amazing!

    Emily

    I know! And it was mainly built by hand. So that was a lot of hard work!

    Gus

    ... and I get tired just building a sandcastle at the beach!

    Emily

    stone blocks sandcastle

    Key Words

    Exercise 3
    The Sphinx
    A little while later, Emily and Grandpa Gus see a huge statue.

    What's that, Grandpa?

    Emily

    It's the Sphinx. It was also built by the Egyptians a long time ago!

    Gus

    But what is it, though? Is it a person or an animal?

    Emily

    It's actually both, Emily! It has the body of a lion with a human head.

    Exercise 4
    The River Nile

    To finish their adventure, Emily and Grandpa Gus sit down by the River Nile.

    It's so beautiful here, Grandpa.

    Emily
    It sure is! This is the Nile, Emily — the longest river in the world.

    Gus

    Really? Huh, it doesn't seem all that big to me!

    Emily

    Well, if we took one of those boats, it would take us days to get to the
    end!
    Gus

    Woah! Days? But then we could see hippos and antelopes and
    crocodiles! Let's do that, Grandpa! Can we do that?
    Emily

    Maybe some other time!

    Gus

    hippo antelope crocodile

    Key Words
