torquay and back ex 9.1
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 1:34 pm1. What do you think?
The story about Kumiko Tsuchida was reported in The Times and The Guardian in June 1997. But do you really think it is true? Is it possible someone
could travel two or three hours on a train and really think they had arrived in Turkey?
It could be true because there are some trains in Japan who moves on magnetic rails that can reach up to 500km/h, so if the distance between London
and Instanbul, as reported on google maps it's about 3000 km, it should take about 6 hours by a train who travels at that speed.
Google maps reports by plane 3 hours and 45 minutes.
So if that person thinks he can make that travel by train in three hours, he/she should be insane.
Misunderstandings
Has anything happened to you because you mispronounced, or didn't understand, a word or name in another language (like Turkey and Torquay)? Post your story in the Forum and read the stories of other students.
No it never happened to me to get lost because of some misunderstanding
