Notes

Abstract:
For vocabulary and exercises: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/… The scene is one of devastation. But these monuments are now open again to the public. According to the UN's heritage body, Unesco, their state is precarious. But the cash-strapped Nepalese government feels the need to kick-start tourism. At least 740 monuments were damaged by two earthquakes less than two months ago, including centuries-old temples, monasteries and palaces. ( en )
