world lives in ？

Kirin: North America .
Adam: Literally, that’s “North American continent.”
Raphael: So if you know North America ，then you probably also know what the continent to
the south of North America is called .

Adam: South America.
Raphael: Ok, now what continent is next to Asia ？
Kirin: Europe .
Adam: Europe.
Raphael: And what continent is south of Europe ？
Kirin: Africa .
Adam: Africa.
Raphael: The last continent is at the southern most part of the earth . It’s a very cold place ，So
there aren’t many people who live there .
Kirin: Antarctica .
Adam: Literally, that’s “south pole continent,” or “Antarctica.”
Kirin: Wow, today we have taught you many place nouns .
Raphael: That’s right . But if you already know the names of some continents ，then you can
probably quickly remember what we’ve taught you . The two continents that are easy to mix up
are Australia and Europe .
Kirin: So you have to listen carefully . So what can we do with the names of these continents ?
Raphael: Right now I will think of the names of some countries ，and then tell you where in the
earth they are located . This way you can look for the country there ，then have to tell me your
answer .
