Three students talk about the most interesting museums they have ever been to. Read the magazine article and answer the questions.
1. Which three museums do the students
talk about
2. What do you think is the most interesting
thing about each museum
Ken: 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.
Amy: 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.
Linlin: 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 grand-pa loves drinking tea and collecting tea sets.
Read the article again and answer the following questions.
1. What does Ken say about the American
Computer Museum
2. What can we learn at the International
Museum of Toilets
3. Why is the Hangzhou National Tea Museum
a nice place to enjoy tea
