June Week Four

 
This week we explored Shima Spain Village which is a Japanese theme park modeled after life in Spain.  This was a great way to spark a larger conversation about theme parks and amusement parks.

Listening:
Learners can try a listening comprehension activity about theme parks from British Council. Or try an activity from Breaking News English called No Screaming at Japanese Amusement Parks.

For original version listening, try an episode of This American Life called Amusement Park (transcript available).

Reading:
Learners can read try a reading comprehension activity about Disneyworld.

For original version, check out an article entitled, The Dangerous Return of the World's Most Insane Amusement Park. Or another one called The Quest for the Best Amusement Park is Never Ending.

Writing:
For writing this week, write a review of an amusement park that you have visited.  What types of rides do they have? What sets it apart from the rest?

Best,
Kelly
