TEXT
Cities and Countries
“Let’s talk about the principal countries of the world, their capitals, and their most important cities. As you know, the capital of a country is not always the country’s most important or largest city.”
“Isn’t the largest city usually the capital?”
“Usually. At least it is in many countries, but not in all countries. An example is Canada. The largest and most important cities are Toronto, and Montreal, but the capital is Ottawa.”
“I think that’s true in the United States, too. Washington D.C. is the capital. It’s a large and important city, but there are many cities which are larger than Washington, for example Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Houston.”
“Right. Now who knows which city is the largest and most important in France?”
“That’s easy. It’s Paris.”
“Good. Now here are some other countries in which the capital is also the largest city and the business and financial center: Mexico, England, Italy, Egypt and Japan. Who can tell us the cities which are the capitals of all these countries?”
“The capital and most important city in Mexico is Mexico city. In England, I think the largest, most important city is London.”
“The capital of Italy is Rome.”
“The capital and also business and financial centers of Egypt and Japan are Cairo and Tokyo.”
“What is the largest city in the United States, Mr. Parks?”
“It’s a city that is not a capital of a country or of a state. Do you want to guess?”
“New York city”.
- “Right”.
