Part 2. Study the sentences from the recording. Work in pairs and read aloud the sentences to each other.
Hello everyone.
Last week, we looked at the differences between two bodies of water, you know, oceans and seas; and
today, we will look at two types of land that have coasts to these waters: islands and peninsulas.
I will first define them for you; and then, talk about the differences and a similarity between the two.
The term “Island” refers to any piece of land that is surrounded by water on all four sides.
That is, an island has coasts to the sea or ocean around four sides. OK?
Alright, on the other hand, the term “Peninsula” refers to a piece of land that is surrounded by water on
the three sides but connected to the mainland continent on one side.
Peninsulas have access to the water on three sides; and the remaining one side is attached to the
mainland.
So an island has water around 4 sides, but the peninsula has water around 3.
-Listen to the recording again to check your performance.
