Tapescript_______________________________________________________
Guide: These tourists come from several countries. They’ve just finished 
a trip on the Silk Road. It was great! They visited the old, historic 
cities and some small villages. Listen to their stories and match 
them with the route on the map.
Fred: Hello, my name’s Frederic Stone. I’m from Florida, USA. Do I like 
the trip on the Silk Road? Sure. It was great! The most interesting 
in my life. I have visited many countries: South Africa, Brazil, Mexico. 
But this trip is the most exciting. I’m interested in handmade things 
so I was waiting for the visit to Bukhara. I bought a carpet. It’s very, 
very beautiful! It’s more beautiful than I hoped. My friends are 
going to want one too!

Rojer: 
I’m Roger, from Great Britain. It’s my first trip to the East and I 
enjoyed it. Usually I spend my vacations in Europe. But now I know 
visiting oriental countries is much more interesting than visiting 
Europe. It’s a completely different culture, lifestyle and food. The 
Great Wall is really ‘great’! It’s bigger and longer than I thought. And 
Chinese food, mm ... really ‘great’. It was better than I expected.
Victoria: 
What I liked in the trip? You can’t believe it’s a desert. I live in 
Montana. The trees and mountains are green all the year round. I 
didn’t expect the Kizilkum desert to be beautiful. Especially in the 
early morning when the sun hasn’t come out and the clouds are 
different colours. It’s more interesting than I expected. It’s a great 
place to go to. Next year I want to cross the Karakum desert with 
my new friend from Australia. Anyone who wants to join us is 
welcome. Join us - my name’s Victoria.
Guide: 
What was the most interesting place on the Silk Road for you, 
Alisher?
Alisher: 
Khiva, it’s a miracle in the desert. The town is a museum. Walking 
in its narrow streets you can feel time. It is like living in a fairy tale 
about Aladdin. Khiva’s older than I thought. And more fantastic.
