This week´s challenge will be a "superquestion". The superquestion was the last part of a legendary TV contest, El tiempo es oro (Time is gold). This show was broadcasted between 1987 and 1992 and it was presented by Constantino Romero. In the final part of the show the contestant had to solve three linked questions. The answer to the first question allowed the contestant to go on with the second one and the answer to this one gave the clue to the third and definitive answer. The contestants could use several encyclopedias and dictionaries to solve the questions. You can do the same with your superquestion. As we´re starting a new unit next week, let´s review a little bit!
QUESTION 1
What body of water is this one? Where is it located (continent and country)?
QUESTION 2
One of the countries next to this body of water has five places considered as World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO. Which country is this? What´s its capital city? What of these World Heritage Sites is represented on the following image? Why was this city so important during the Middle Ages?
QUESTION 3
Explain what type of government the country where the body of water and the city of the pictures are located has.
And remember, don´t copy and paste! Write your own answers. You have time until Sunday, 22:00.

Question 1:
It’s the Aral Sea, one of the largest lakes in the world. It’s located in Kazakhstan and in Uzbekistan in Asia.
Question 2:
The country is Uzbekistan, the capital city is Tashkent. In the picture is represented the Registan and it was very important because it was a very big commercial center and a market.
Question 3:
It’s officially the Republic of Uzbekistan because they have a republic and also a legislature. The actual president is Islam Karimov.
Bye!!
Well done, Javi. You have been the only one to answer this week.
There are some things you haven´t explained:
- Picture number two is a place in Samarkand, one of the most important cities of the Silk Road, an important trade route in the Middle Ages. It linked the Mediterranean Sea with China, in the Far East. Marco Polo travelled to China following this road.
- Uzbekistan is officially a democracy, but the president holds the most part of power. The legislative power has very little power. Islam Karimov is more an autocrat than a democratic leader.
Good night. See you tomorrow.
