Ji Yang really wants to see the water ski show and the dolphin show.
David thinks training wild animals to do tricks is crazy.

6. 3. Does Ji Yang think it is a problem for
the polar bears to leave their cold home in the Arctic (北极)? Why or why not?
Ji Yang doesn't think it’s a problem for the polar bears to leave the Arctic, because they have ice and cold water to swim and play in so they’re not too hot.

7. Listening text Sea World – A Fishy Experience
David Evans and Ji Yang are visiting Sea
World in Australia.
David: Where do you want to start? Here’s a park map from the information centre.

8. Ji Yang: There are at least two things I really want to do
Ji Yang: 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.

9. David: Tricks? 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.
Ji Yang: Nah – we can go on a roller
coaster in any amusement park.

10. I would be more fun to go and see the polar bears
I 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.
David: That’s crazy! Australia’s Gold Coast is too hot for polar bears -
we should just leave them in the Arctic!

11. Ji Yang: 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.

12. David: I’ve read their rescue programme 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.
Ji Yang: Well, you can get educated – and I’ll have some fun!

18. Listening text BIATS AND HOUSES THE POLYNESIAN WAY Part 1
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.

19. As you can see, here behind me is one of their boats
As you can see, here behind me is one of their boats. To built 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.

20. Remove the inside for a person to sit in
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.

21. Part 2
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.

22. 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 together 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!
