Delta Test 1, P 472, TS-P667

(255 words)

 

The lecture provides some similar information on traveling as indicated in the reading passage, at the same time, he presents some different viewpoints.

 

Firstly, the speaker narrates (describe / recite / recount / relate / report / review / tell) that the purposes of traveling in ancient times were mainly for political and economic reasons, to be exactly, conquest and colonization. This is one point where the listening material echoes the reading. Besides, the article states three other major reasons for people to travel, namely, searching for resources, religious pilgrimages and long-distance trade. Then the article demonstrates some evidences to enrich the topic: in recent centuries, when traveling, people usually aim at cultural, educational and scientific purposes.

 

Secondly, both the listening and reading illustrate that adventure is another motivation of traveling. Interestingly, both classify the “big hunting game” done by Ernest Hemingway under the category of adventure. This is obviously another resemblance presented in this set of materials. (This is another similarity presented in the reading and listening.)

 

Ironically, the lecturer holds a different (assorted / contrary / dissimilar / distinct / opposite / reverse / unlike / varied) opinion concerning Hemingway’s way to travel. The reading considers him as a “travel hero”, while the male speaker recites that Hemingway’s way is neither practical nor fashionable. According to the lecturer, the modern traveling purposes are for pleasure, recreation and personal growth. To further clarify, he displays (demonstrate / exhibit / illustrate) two new popular ways to travel: ethnic tourism and environmental tourism. In these activities, tourists only do observing and photographing rather than killing animals, like what Hemingway did. This point is the explicit parting (divergence) presented in this set of materials.
