CHINA’S CULTURAL THEME PARK

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!

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!
