World Heritage Sites

Mary :
I hear that you like a TV program about World Heritage Sites.//
Ken :
Yes, I do.// It’s something that I never miss.//
Mary :
How many World Heritage Sites are there in the world?//
Ken :
Over 1,000.//
Mary :
That many!// What site would you like to go to the most?//
Ken :
I’d love to visit Abu Simbel in Egypt, which was saved from a dam construction on the Nile.//
Mary :
Saved?// From a dam construction?//
Ken :
Yeah, the temples at Abu Simbel were moved to a higher place, because they were going to be covered by water from a lake which was formed by the building of a big dam.//
Mary :
That’s amazing!// I’m glad they did that.//
