Common sense, Eiffel tower and the seven wonders
Monday, April 02, 2007
We were discussing about what would the examiner ask for the speaking section of IELTS. Being an ignorance for this Ielts test, we could not really figured out what would be the question cause it is too broad and variety. Then, i asked a stupid question which i thought they would probably ask*dodgetomatoes*, "what are the seven wonders of the world?" Hui ting and me started to count one by one, but we only manage to get three or four, and some of them were wrong....>.> history-deprived, can't imagine i was good in history when i was secondary, i am a prick who deserves to die>.>.Then when we were about to dig out our brainjuice, Saytan passed by and we threw him this question. Being captured by this "interesting" question, he laid his back against the table and started to count, The great wall of china, the leaning tower of Pisa, The Golden gate bridge of San Francisco, taj Mahal, The great Pyramid of Eygpt, Stonehenge of great britain and Northern Ireland.....and what' last? Hui ting and i claimed the hanging Gardens of babylon, Saytan rejected harshly. So he voted for Eiffel Tower, i said, " if Eiffel tower is posibble, then KL tower may be posibble as well." ironically....well, we could not come into a complete anwer, and Saytan aske Syeid who just came in. Syeid said that the seventh wonder is the hanging garden of babylon!! hehe....obviously hui ting and me hadhad goog time taunting at him!^^
But, i was being asked to hell as well (HUITING pushed everything to me!)when Hui ting was wrongly thought that the hanging Garden of babylon is from Greece, actually it is located in Iraq>.>.
Finally, guess what, when i checked from the internet....we ARE COMPLETELY WRONG!!
