CHINA’S CULTURAL THEME PARK

Listening textListening text

GUIDE: Which village do you want to

see first? There are twenty-

five villages here, and they

are all life-size, so we have to

make some choices.

RICKY: What I really want to do is

eat some of the food that the

Naxi women are making

over there. We got up very

early this morning and

didn’t have any breakfast.

GUIDE: OK, but hurry up, because we

want to see at least half of the

villages before noon. We

mustn’t miss the Uygur cultural

dances and the Dai singing in

the afternoon.

LUCY: I hope we have time to see

some of the things that the

people are making. I’d love

to get some of that beautiful

Miao cloth for my mother.

GUIDE: I think you’ll also enjoy seeing

the different styles of houses.

They show the environments

that people live in as well as

the various cultures.

RICKY: I’d like to see the homes of

the Bai people. I heard

somewhere that the Bai

people do beautiful work in

word and their buildings are

amazing.

LUCY: Oh, look! Are those coconut trees real? It looks like Hainan! And look down there – that bridge looks like the ones we saw in Suzhou. Hurry up and eat, Ricky! We’ve lots to see and I know you’ll want to eat again later!

RICKY: Ha! I know you’ll want to shop again later!

Leading in (Discussion)

Have you ever been to Sea World or

Marine Land? What kind of things do

you think visitors can see and do at

these parks?

Listen to the tape and tick the items below that you can do at Sea World in Australia.

Feed the dolphins.Watch birds do tricks.

Learn about a rescue programme.

Play with polar bears.

Go on a roller coaster.

Go diving to see fish.

1.What two things does Ji Yang really want to do? Ji Yang really wants to see the water

ski show and the dolphin show.2. What does David think about training

wild animals to do tricks? David thinks training wild animals to

do tricks is crazy.

Listen again and answer the questions.

3. Does Ji Yang think it is a problem for

the polar bears to leave their cold home

in the Arctic? Why or why not?

Ji Yang doesn’t think it’s a problem for

polar bears to leave the Arctic, because

they have ice and cold water to swim

and play in so they’re not too hot.

David Evans and Ji Yang are visiting

Sea World in Australia.

D: Where do you want to start? Here’s a

park map from the information centre.

JY: There are at least two things I really

want to do. There’s a show where

people water ski on bare feet, and then

there’s a dolphin show that’s one of the

best in the world. The dolphins are

trained to do amazing tricks. After the

show we can feed them.

D: Trick? I think training wild

animals to do tricks is crazy –

wild animals shouldn’t be forced

to do tricks! How about that

roller coaster? It looks like fun.

JY: Nah – we can go on a roller

coaster in any amusement park. It

would be more fun to go and see

the polar bears. There are two

little ones and two big ones that

were brought from the Arctic.

D: That’s crazy! Australia’s Gold Coast

is too hot for polar bears - we

should just leave them in the Arctic!

JY: Oh, don’t worry – they have ice and

cold water for the polar bears to

swim and play in, so they’re not too

hot! After we see the bears, I think it

would be fun to do some diving and

see some colourful fish.

D: I’ve read about their rescue

programme and I’d really like to

find out more about it. They save

fish, sea birds and other

endangered species. So it’s not just

an amusement park.

JY: Well, you can get educated – and

I’ll have some fun!

Welcome to the Polynesian Cultural Centre! My name is Tera, a Polynesian name which means “the sun”, I’m so glad you could come today and learn about some of the amazing Polynesian ways.

BOATS AND HOUSES THE POLYNESIAN WAY

Part 1

Listening text

As you can see, here behind me is one of their boats. To build a boat like this, you need a very tall, straight tree. You first cut down the tree and remove the branches. Then you cut the tree in half so you have two long pieces of wood. You use one piece to make the boat. Remove the inside for a person to sit in. Take the bark off the outside of the boat and put oil on it so it will easily go through the sea. Some Polynesian boats have sails.

Over here, we have a house made of palm leaves and branches. To make a house like this, you need to collect a LOT of palm leaves! After collecting them, weave them together to make a large flat piece. This is the “wall” of the house, so you will need to make it very long.

Part 2

After finishing the wall, join the two

edges by weaving the ends of the palm

leaves together. Then put sticks up to

hold the wall up. Finally, make two

other flat pieces of palm leaves for the

roof, and place them on top so that

water can drip onto the ground when it

rains. Now you have a palm tree house!
