Unit 11 Recreational Activities Part 1 Situational Dialogues 1. The local guide Lily is talking with her tourists about Chinese Acrobatics. Tourist: I heard that you’ve arranged some recreational activities for us. What are we going to do tonight? Lily: We are going to see the performance of Chinese Acrobatics. Tourist: Sounds good. Lily: An acrobatic performance is generally a series of acrobatic acts. Although it is not as specific as literature, it is more vivid and lively. It integrates varied art forms of dance, music, and martial arts, and is enhanced by modern lighting, acoustics and choreography. Tourist: That is to say we are going to see varied forms of Chinese arts in this performance. Am I right? Lily: You are right. The 5,000yearold Chinese civilization provides a vast pool of materials for the creation of acrobatic shows. Using their professional skills, Chinese acrobats have performed the topics which people are most interested in. In recent years, special cooperation between Chinese and foreign artists has given new life to traditional Chinese acrobatics. Tourist: You must be kidding. You mean that traditional Chinese acrobatics is performed by foreigners? Lily: Yes. Tourist: I’m really expecting to see it. When and where will it be on? Lily:7 p.m. at Oriental Plaza. Tourist: It’s half past six. Let’s go. 2. Lily, the local guide, is talking with her tourists about Peking Opera. Lily: Ladies and gentlemen, attention please.
