M: Hi, Helen, what do you think of our class in Children's Literature?
W: It looks pretty good. Are you also majoring in Elementary Education?
M: Yes. I can use this to fulfill the requirement for my course.
W: Have you finished the first assignment yet?
M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you?
W: I started this afternoon. It's great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Seuss.
M: Doctor Seuss? I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list.
W: His full name's Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name.
M: I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think.
W: Those stories are also great for classroom use.
M: How's that?
W: Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.
M: So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over again.
W: Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun.
M: Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I'll get started on those readings tonight. | It has a vocabulary of only two hundred words. | What is true about The Cat in the Hat? | [

B: I don't know if we'll be able to spare a whole day at the Ocean Park. We've only got four days in Hong Kong, remember.
A: Oh right, well, in that case, I'd advise you to get there early. It opens at 10 o'clock in the morning on weekdays. Look, I think I've got a plan of the place somewhere. Let me see.., yes, here we are. You can have this.
B: Thanks.
A: OK I'll show you. Let's start with the lower level. See? Here? You arrive by taxi or bus or whatever here, on the right, can you see? That's the bus terminal. And you go in through the main entrance. You could go to Water World first but I think you'd better miss that out as you're short of time, you said. You see the cable cars? Well, those long lines are the wires and the little circles are the cars going up and down to the next level. Well, walk past the cable car terminal, at the bottom of the plan, and bear right past the Waterfall Gardens. Actually, have a look in, there are ducks and other birds in the pool there-it's very pretty. Then you'll see some steps up on the left. Follow that path and you'll come to the Centenary Garden which is a good place to stop and take pictures if you've got your camera. Then carry on until you're almost at the Children's Zoo. Right. I wouldn't bother to visit the zoo if I were you, it takes quite a long time to walk round. But I do recommend the "Touch and Feed" section opposite, as I said. It's great fun for small children.
B: Ok, so we'll pay a visit there, and then what?
A: You could come back a different way past the Chinese rock garden. Oh, that's lovely-do wander around if there's time. Then go down the steps to the Otter Pool-you can have a sit down there for a little while and watch the otters messing around in the water. Then back to the cable car terminal where you can catch a car to the upper level. The journey takes about ten minutes, I suppose, it's quite a long way. Now if you look at the other plan, the one for the upper level, you'll see where you arrive.
B: Is this the terminal here in the bottom left hand comer?
A: Yes, that's right. The fun fair is in the top left hand corner. Can you see? With "The Dragon" I was telling you about, and "The Octopus" and "The Spider". Do you think you'll want to go to that?
B: Um, well, I think the children are a bit too young really, but they might enjoy watching other people.
A: OK. Well, if you're feeling quite hungry by the time you arrive, which you probably will be, why not have a snack in the Chinese Restaurant next to the terminal? When you've finished your lunch, I would go to the Coral Reef first. It's that little building on the left hand side. "That's where you can see fish and other underwater creatures in a kind of natural habitat.
B: Right. That sounds interesting.
A: It's lovely. After that, walk up to "The Dragon" and watch people being really scared! Then you could come down to the Ocean Theater, which is just to the left of the center of the plan- and see a performance of dolphins or maybe the killer whale. You'll have to check the times for that. There's one at two o'clock, I think. I'm not sure about the high diving, but you may be able to see that as well. If there's time, you could also carry on to the fight and have a look at Wave Cove. And finally, if you're not too exhausted by then you could return to the lower level by using the famous escalator. You'd be finished by 3:30 or 4 at the latest.
