Cities of the World 世界城市

In this activity you will be given a list of cities from around the world. Your task will be to locate each city based on the coordinates (latitude and longitude) that have been given to you. Once you have located each city, mark it on the map and then return to the city chart and indicate which continent the city is located in. Then once you have located every city in list you can come up with some English questions that you can ask a partner. These questions should focus on describing directions.

在这项活动中,根据已给的坐标(纬度和经度)来定位列表中的各个城市,在下面的“世界城市地图”上标记出来,并在后面的表格中写出该城市位于哪个大陆。然后问你的同伴提出一些英语问题让其作答,记住这些问题应侧重于描述方位。
