How 10 Famous Landmarks Get Clean from mental_floss


How 10 Famous Landmarks Get Clean from mental_floss is a very interesting thing with pictures and video about the ten famous landmarks getting cleaned. The resource is quite suitable to use in class to speak about a number of topics - jobs (interesting, unusual, dangerous), places of interest (their everyday life). It can be a good reading exercise (intermediate students), especially practising numbers.

Besides, the story can be a good example to speak about the place where the students live - a nice start for a project "How My City Famous Landmark Get Clean", "The job I find very interesting (unusual, dangerous, useful...):
- the students read and discuss the given article;
- choose the attraction they want to speak about;
- search for the information about it/think over what they can say about it 
- present their work (in the form required).
