Man-made Wonders of America
Una risorsa didattica pensata per dare slancio alle sue lezioni di inglese.
La serie
Una serie documentaria multilivello (A1 e A2) che esplora otto grandi meraviglie costruite dall'uomo negli Stati Uniti, dalla diga di Hoover al Golden Gate Bridge, raccontata attraverso fotografie reali e un audio narrato. Ogni episodio non si limita a descrivere l'opera: spiega perché si è deciso di costruirla, chi l'ha costruita e perché conta ancora oggi, nominando onestamente il suo costo umano.
Gli episodi (6)
1A wall that holds back a river. In Black Canyon, on the Colorado between Nevada and Arizona, a wall of pale concrete drops away like a tower of sixty floors turned upside down, and a whole river waits behind it.
4:18
2The Empire State Building & the skyscraper boom
The race to the sky. Manhattan is small and its land costs a fortune, so New York built upwards: in 1931 a silver spire on one hundred and two floors became the tallest building in the world.
4:16
3A river made by hand. Five hundred and eighty kilometres of straight water across New York State, dug by people and walked by horses, joining Lake Erie to the sea.
4:05
4A concrete river across dry land. A blue line eleven hundred kilometres long, open to the sun and the wind, carrying water right across California's brown fields.
