Hello to everyone!
could you please explain the difference between the following phrase:

vs
the course takes through some amazing scenery

thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum, Leafox.

Please aways tell us where you found sentences you ask us about (title and author) or let us know if you created them yourself.

Your first sentence means nothing to me, I'm afraid. The second makes no sense.

Hi 5jj

Thanks for your advice, I'll follow it for the next time and on.

I guess it's partly my fault because I haven't written the whole sentence, but just the confusing part.
The phrase was taken from the student book " Сlick on" , level 4
The whole phrase says -

"this course takes it through some amazing scenery, through the Mu Us Desert, along part of the Huang He River and alongside the Daban, Helan and Quilian mountain ranges which includes the majestic Mount Quilian rising to 5547 m above the sea level"

Are the authors Neil O'Sullivan and Virginia Evans?

 

[Leafox]

Oh, the phrase is a really long one and took time to type. during the typing i figured out the idea of the phrase.
( the article says about the Great China Wall)
however, it's sounds a little bit odd for me
- the course takes the through some scenery ...
i would say it takes you through the...

 

[Leafox]

Right! Virginia Evans and Neil O'Sullivan.

Right! Virginia Evans and Neil O'Sullivan.

Thank you, That information should have appeared in post #1.

It wasn't until post #5 that you told us that 'it' was a reference to The Great Wall of China.

To answer your original question, as 5jj said, 'the course takes through some amazing scenery' makes no sense.

Two things. One, it's "The Great Wall of China". Two, it's"above sea level". (No "the".)

Hello to everyone!

Hi. There's no need to write a greeting. Go right ahead and ask your question.

However, it's it sounds a little bit odd for to me to say "the course takes the wall through some scenery".

Please pay attention to capitalization and punctuation!
It's not odd at all. It's correct to say "The course takes it through some amazing ...".

I would say it takes you through the...

No. The verb "take someone/something through something/some where" is general and is not restricted as you think.
