Track 3
Kate: Look at my new book! It's got lots of information about different things. What is the tallest building in the world, Mark?
Mark: I don't know. Is it in America?
Kate: No. It's the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan. It's 508 metres tall.
Mark: Wow!
Kate: They finished it in 2003. Before that the tallest building was in Malaysia.
Mark: Cool or what! Ask me another question.
Kate: What is the most expensive boat in the world?
Mark: It's the Queen Elizabeth.
Kate: No. It's the Queen Mary 2. It cost £540 million and it can take 3,850 people on it.
Mark: Wow! How big is it?
Kate: It's 345 metres long and 41 metres wide. That's bigger than the Titanic. The Titanic was only 269 metres long. And the Queen Mary 2 has got five swimming pools!
