know the places for sightseeing around in Beijing?(3)Do you know how many famous museums are there in Beijing?,Part I Culture Background,The British Museum holds in trust for the nation and the world a collection of art and antiquities from ancient and living cultures.Housed in one of Britains architectural landmarks,the collection is one of the finest in existence,spanning two million years of human history.Access to the collection is free.,The Museum was based on the practical principle that the collection should be put to public use and be freely accessible.It was also grounded in the Enlightenment idea that human cultures can,despite their differences,understand one another through mutual engagement.The Museum was to be a place where this kind of humane cross-cultural investigation could happen.It still is.,The Museum aims to reach a broader worldwide audience by extending engagement with this audience.This is engagement not only with the collections that the Museum has,but the cultures and territories that they represent,the stories that can be told through them,the diversity of truths that they can unlock and their meaning in the world today.,The Museum has continually sought to make its collections available to greater and more diverse audiences,first in London,subsequently the UK and worldwide.Over the past forty years,the increasing ease of international travel has meant not only that more visitors from abroad can come to London to use the collection,but that the collection can more easily travel to them,and be put to public use in new local contexts.,Part II Functional Language Questions,When was it built?Would you please tell me some of souvenirs here?Where can I buy an admission ticket?Is admission free?Do I have to buy another

the Forbidden City get this name?,Responses,In 1928.With pleasure,sir.Its over there,next to the gate.Yes,please.No,The 150 Yuan ticket you already bought is good for anywhere.No,you may keep valuables with you.Certainly.Yes.We have the recorded materials in English and French.Excuse me.You will not be permitted to take pictures inside the museum.Well,in the feudal society,emperors had supreme power,so his residence was certainly a forbidden place.,Part III Sample Dialogues Dialogue 1(Wang He invited Sarah and Preston to visit the museum.She really hoped that they could enjoy some of the essence of Chinese culture.),Wang He:Preston,this is the Museum of History.Preston:There are so many people that the tickets are all sold out!Wang He:Luckily we got the last two.Sarah:Alice,is

those who made such great inventions!Sarah:Why are they all in glass boxes?Wang He:For protection.Some relics will turn to dust if exposed to air.Sarah:So there isnt any air in the glass boxes?Wang He:No,there isnt.They are all vacuumed.Its priceless!Preston:Yeah,I really admire those great inventors!Sarah:Preston,I dont see why they are great.They are just simple things.,Preston:They look simple today.But they were milestones in their times.Sarah:Milestones?Preston,you must be kidding.Wang He:Just think Bill Gates,these inventions are as important as the Windows system.Sarah:Well,I suppose the ancient inventors made a lot of money out of them.Wang He:No,quite the contrary.Sarah:Why?Didnt you say that they were milestones?Wang He:Yes,but they went to the public without any patent protection.Sarah:Well,their inventors were not as clever as Bill Gates.,Part IV Reproductions,Try to reproduce the sample dialogues.Alice,accompanied Sarah and Preston to visit the Museum of
