If you cannot travel the world, why not travel the Internet? GeoGuessr(www.geoguessr.com) is a new, online travel game. It teaches about geography, while visiting places far and wide. The game is easy to play, but nearly impossible to win. Geoguessr uses images from Street View from the technology company, Google. After looking at an image, you guess where the photograph was taken. No matter how much you have traveled, you have not been to as many places as Google Street View. Its cameras have been busy taking photographs around the world. Images can be searched broadly or by continent, country or city.
* geography = 지리학/ far and wide = 널리 [넓은 지역에 걸쳐]/ nearly = 거의/ broadly = 광대하게; 대략(적으로)/ continent = 대륙
The program shows an image of a place and a map of the world. Some pictures are beautiful, while others look barren without much plant life. But the mix of scenery is part of the fun and learning. You can zoom in or out of images. Or turn it around in circles. Images move forward and backward, and up and down to identify locations. When you think you know where the photo was taken, click on the Google map to place your marker. Click on the Make Guess button on the bottom of the map. A new image will appear, showing the distance between the area you chose and the actual location. Geoguessr will tell how many kilometers away you were and how many points you earned. You get five chances to guess the location. After the fifth one, you see a map showing your guesses, the correct locations, and the number of points you earned.
* while = ~인 데 반하여/ barren = 척박한, 황량한/ plant life = 식물/ identify = 확인하다/ on the bottom of ~ = ~의 바닥에
