A text play of THEME PARKS -FUN AND MORE THAN FUN

　　(Time: A Sunday morning; Place: A theme park in Beijing; People: a tourist guide, S1 and I )

　　Guide: This morning we are going to visit a theme park in Yunnan. Its name is Yunnan

　　Nationalities Villages.

　　I: Where is it? Is it close to Kunming?

　　Guide: Yes, it is north of Kunming.

　　S1: Wonderful! I like to amuse myself and escape my busy school life for a while.

　　I: What can we do there? Can we sit chatting, play games and listen to birds' singing?

　　Guide: Yow can do much more than that. You may relax a bit, have picnics and have fun there.

　　S1: How much does it cost to do visit the park?

　　Guide: 100 yuan each. It is not expensive at this time of the year.

　　I: I have never been to a theme park. But I think a theme park provides entertainment. In it visitors may use shuttles to get around, and have a variety of things to see and do.

　　S1: Does it charge any money for providing food and drink there?

　　Guide: Yes, of course. It makes a profit by selling souvenirs, too.

　　I: I have seen it advertised on television. The boss of the park does have some nice ideas. He learned that he built a sports theme park there. Visitors may be involved in physical exercise. They may also buy a brand of sports equipment, go for rides on animals, cook cultural foods, have pictures taken in the sports theme park there.

　　S1: I hope we shall not be charged for admission into the sports theme park.

　　Guide: No, you won't. Everything is covered by the 100 yuan.

　　I: I guess it is a place of fantasy. Let's take an active park in everything we do there.

　　S1: I agree with you. And I hope some day we shall go on trips to space, using computer techniques to guide us in our flying to the other planets.
