weekend? Listen and read to find out.

Zara Hey, Phylis, what are you doing this weekend?


Phylis Not a lot. Why?
Zara We could go on a day trip somewhere.
Phylis That sounds good. Where do you want to go?
Zara How about Bath? It’s got lots of museums and art galleries.
Phylis Mmm, Bath doesn’t sound very exciting. How about going shopping in
London? We haven’t been there for ages!
Zara That’s true, but London is always so busy and noisy. I’d prefer
somewhere more relaxing.
Phylis Why don’t we go on a two-day trip? We can have one day for shopping
in London and one day in Bath to relax.
Zara Now that’s a brilliant idea.

Places of the Imagination
There’s no place like imaginary villages, towns and cities for action and adventure!

Gotham City
The shape of a bat lights
up the night sky. It’s a sign
that the police need Batman.
This is Gotham, a city on an island
on the east coast of the USA. It’s
home to a population of over 8 million.
Three road bridges and several underground
train tunnels connect it to the mainland. Planes
also land at the airport, or visitors can catch a ferry
into the harbour. There are a lot of tall glass skyscrapers
across the city, some older stone buildings, and the mansion of
billionaire Bruce Wayne. There are fourteen neighbourhoods in Gotham. The most
famous is The Narrows, an island in the Gotham River. You can come across a lot of strange people in The
Narrows, and the streets are dark and dangerous. In fact, Gotham is quite a dangerous city, but Bruce Wayne has a secret. At
night, he becomes Batman and patrols the dark alleys to make sure the residents of Gotham sleep safely in their beds.
