Practice the conversation; study the vocabulary; then discuss the questions with a friend in English.

Questions:

2. Have you heard of any of these stories, mentioned by Mark? Echo and Narcissus, Perseus, Daedalus and Icarus, Hercules, Orpheus, and Midas. Tell a story, if you can.
3. Mark uses two proverbs, "All roads lead to Rome" and "Rome wasn’t built in a day." What do they mean? How can you use them?
