UNIT 9 Have you ever been to a museum?

Section A 1b

Listen. Have these students ever been to these places? Check (√) the boxes.

I'm bored, Claudia.

Let's do something interesting.

Have you ever been to a science museum? Yes, I have.

I went to the National Science Museum last year. Have you ever been to a history museum?

No, I haven't.

Me neither. Let's go to one tomorrow.

Well, that sounds good, but I'm not interested in history. Really? I didn't know that.

Well, how about the art museum? Have you been to the art museum? I've been to the art museum many times.

Me, too. But I'd like to go again.

Hmm, let's see... how about the nature museum? I've been there a few times.

So have I. I went there on our last school trip. I know. Let's go to the space museum.

I've never been there. That's a great idea.

I went there last year, but I'd like to go there again.

Section A 2a

Look at the map of the town. Listen and circle the places you hear.

Conversation 1

Hey, have you ever visited the space museum, Tina?

Yes, I went there last year. Have you ever been there, John? No, I haven't.

Well, I'd really like to go there again.

Great. What bus do we take to get to the museum?

We can take the subway. The station is near the museum.

Conversation 2

Hi, Linda. Have you ever been to the amusement park?

Yes, I have, but a long time ago. I remember it was really fun. There were so many exciting things to do there.

Do you want to go again next week? Sure. I think that would be a great idea. Do you think we can ride our bikes there?

Of course! It's not very far away. It's just on Green Street, behind the zoo.

Conversation 3

Have you ever been to the water park, Frank? No, I've never been there.

Neither have I. Let's go there together!

I'd really love to go, but I don't have any money.

Well, let's go skating instead. There's a great new place for skating in River Park on Center Street.

That's a great idea. Could I borrow your bike? I want to go home to get my skates.

Section A 2b

Listen again and circle T for true or F for false.

Section A 2d

Role-play the conversation.

I went to the film museum last weekend. Have you ever been there? Yes, I have. I went there back in April.

It's really interesting, isn't it?

It's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Yes, I love all the old movie cameras there. I learned about the inventions that led to color movies, too.

So, what did you do on the weekend?

I camped in the mountains with some friends. We put up a tent and cooked outside. That sounds fun. I've never been camping.

You should try it!

Section A 3a

Three students talk about the most interesting museums they have ever been to. Read the magazine article and answer the questions.

The most interesting museum I've ever been to is the American Computer Museum. They

have information about different computers and who invented them. The old computers were much bigger. It's unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way! I've also learned that there was a special computer. It could play chess even better than humans. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.

I've recently been to a very unusual museum in India, the International Museum of Toilets. I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw so many different kinds of toilets there. The museum teaches people about the history and development of toilets. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to improve toilets in the future.

Last year I went to the Hangzhou National Tea Museum. It's a relaxing and peaceful place near a lake. The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself. I've finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking tea and collecting tea sets.

Section B 1b

Listen to a student interviewing a foreign student. Check (√) the questions you hear.

So, Peter, how long have you been in China? I've been here for two weeks, but I'm going back to Australia tomorrow.

Have you traveled much?

Yes, I have. I've seen many interesting things. Have you visited the Palace Museum?

Yes, I have. I went there last week. It was wonderful. There were so many beautiful treasures. And have you been to the Great Wall?

Oh, yes. I loved it, but there were too many people. I've also been to the Bird's Nest. Wow, great! Did you go anywhere outside Beijing?

Yes. I went to see the Terracotta Army in Xi'an. It was fantastic. OK. Have you tried Chinese food?

Oh, yes. I love Chinese food.

Do you have a favorite dish?

I love Beijing Duck. It's so delicious.

Thank you for your time and have a safe trip home. Thank you.

Section B 1c

Listen again and take notes.

Section B 2b

Read the article. How many reasons can you find for visiting Singapore?

Singapore — A Place You Will Never Forget!

Have you ever been to Singapore? For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of the time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!

Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China? Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel. In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. Singapore is also an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore!

Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a Night Safari. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark. However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these

animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.

One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like — spring, summer, autumn or winter. And, of course, it's not too far from China!
