answer

There are three places the girl would like to see

above all.

Tahiti is the first one she choose to visit because it

seems like heaven on earth to her. She can picture herself

lying relaxed under a palm tree on a beautiful beach

watching the sunset over a peaceful lake.

The second place she likes to visit is Beijing. “Going

to Beijing” means bringing to life much of the history she

has studied.

The last place she wants to pay a visit to is Brazil. She

dreams of taking a boat trip up the Great Amazon and

visiting the beautiful capital of the country.

Script:  Dialogue 1

Lin: Have you ever seen Beijing Opera before?  

Tony: No, never.  

Lin: Beijing Opera is one of our major traditional

operas.  

Tony: Oh, yes. I’ve heard about that.  

Lin: The basic ways of performance include chang

( 唱 ), nian ( 念 ), zuo ( 做 ), and da ( 打 ). That is,

singing, reciting, acting and fighting.  

Tony: That’s interesting and a little confusing for me.  

Lin: The roles can be classified into sheng ( 生 ), an

( 旦 ), jing ( 净 ) and chou ( 丑 ).  

Tony: What is sheng?  

Lin: It refers to male roles.  

Tony: Oh. And dan?  

Lin: Female roles are called dan.  

Tony: What about jing?  

Lin: They are male roles with facial paintings and

rough personality.  

Tony: The last one is chou. What is it?  

Lin: Chou are funny clowns ( 丑角 ). Have you got

some

idea of Beijing opera now?  

Tony: Yes. I just can’t wait to see the

performance.

David: So, how do you like living in Beijing?  

Mary: I love the city. Beijing is such a great city.  

David: Did you have any trouble getting used to the

way of life there?  

Mary: Oh, sure, but only a little at first. I am pretty

used to it after some time.  

David: This is the first time I’ve been in Beijing. What

place shall I visit first?  

Mary: The Great Wall. It’s the wonder of ancient ( 古代的 )

China.  

Script:  Dialogue 2  

David: What else?  

Mary: The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and many

other attractions. They are all worth seeing.  

David: How many days are needed for me to see them all? Mary: I’m afraid you have to spend at least three days.  David: Can’t I manage within two days?  Mary: No, not likely. The Great wall is far from the city, and it alone will take you a whole day.  

David: I see.  

  I’m an American girl of thirteen. There are many

countries that I would like to visit, but there are three

places I’d like to see above all.  

The first is Tahiti. I’ve read books and magazine

articles about the South Pacific, and I’ve even seen a

couple of films that were made there. To me it seems like

heaven on earth. I can picture myself lying relaxed under

a palm tree on a beautiful beach watching the sunset

over a peaceful lake. I know this picture in my mind may

not be realistic, but I’d really love to see what Tahiti is

like for myself.
