The end of the world train.





Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. It is located on the shores of the Beagle Channel, at the southern tip of  Tierra del Fuego Island, and surrounded by the Martial Mounts. Its superlative location allows you to enjoy sea, mountains and forests at the same time.


















The Southern Fuegian Railway or the Train of the End of the World (SpanishFerrocarril Austral Fueguino (FCAF) or El Tren del Fin del Mundo) is a 500 mm (19 34 in) (narrow-gaugesteam railway in Tierra del Fuego ProvinceArgentina. It was originally built as a freight line to serve the prison of Ushuaia, specifically to transport timber. It now operates as a heritage railway into the Tierra del Fuego National Park and is considered the southernmost functioning railway in the world.

In the first place, I like this listening because it is tell us something about history and events that happened there. Build an prison in the coast it is not very beautiful but it is safe for other people be safe. From this type of prisoner can not escape.
Too, I like it because in this listening we can find more new word (it is not to do the ball). When I listen first time this listening I did not understand it good, but when we were listen again, I understood almost all.
I think that do listenings help us understand english better. Thanks Elena!!!!!!!!!!!

Un comentario mio(lo siento por hacerlo en espanol). Solo use el traductor para 4 palabras que fueron: casi-almost, seguro-safe, y la frase- do es para hacer la pelota!

Hiiiiiii I'm Yani,

-In my opinion, this listening is a little more difficult than the others that we used to do, but it's still okay.
-The topic is great and interesting, but the voice of the man, the narrator, makes me want to sleep.
-Ushuaia looks like a beautiful city in so many photos and I hope someday to have the opportunity for visit this place.
-I think that doing listening are good for us, but we shouldn't repeat it soooooooooo many times because at the end, we are going to find it boring.

Hi!

·I think that this listening is more different than others listenings that we have done 'cause it's so long, the narrator talks very fast and cost me a bit follow him.
·The topic is interesting and I have learned new things from Ushuaia, beautiful city.
·In my opinion this type of listening could help us to be ready for our future in others possibles countries where they speak english

In my opinion this listening it's too difficult because the narrator talks very fast.The first time I don't understand every things but after I understood it.
The topic talks about Ushuaia capital of Tierra del Fuego, about the convict train, and about the prison of Ushuaia and I think that's is an interesting topic.
Finally I think that the listenings are good for understand english better.

I would like to travel to Ushuaia and see this wonderful end of the world. In the images seems to be a paradise on earth except that fact there is a old prison. The landscapes, the ocean, the mountains and the forest makes Ushuaia a special place and people want to visit it. For me it would be the ideal retreat, would go alone with my camera and would catch every breath of that city.And finally I want to say that Ushuaia is the most beautiful thing I've discovered in English class.
