【E33】level4 -41 A guide to unusual museums

Let's start with a small review of the grammar! For example! The United Kingdom... It is located in the north of Europe. It uses the British Pound. You could also say: "The british pound is used in the United Kingdom." London is located in the United Kingdom These passive sentences use the verb "to be" + present participle... To move the focus to the subject of the sentence. "The Chinese yuan is used in China." "Chinese is spoken in China." "Chinese is spoken in China." (passive) "Chinese people speak Chinese." (active) When do we use these sentences? We use the passive form when we want "Chinese" (in the sentence above) to be more important than 'Chinese people." Many Chinese products, like silk and Chinese medicine are exported to other countries. "Japanese is spoken in Japan." - Good! "The Statue of Liberty and the the Grand Canyon are found in the United States." The active sentence would be: "The United States has the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty." or "The United States is home to the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty." Those are active sentences. If everyone is OK with the passive sentences.. Then let's go on to the Reading... I will find you some materials to read What does unusual mean? What are some other words that have the same meaning? Strange, unusual, uncommon... "scan the article" ... Do you know what that means?

I'm going to read them Then we'll talk about the interesting parts from each paragraph... What kind of experience is an "eye-opening experience"? When you learn something totally new and surprising! Can anyone give me an example of a "cooking untensil"? What are some popular cooking utensils? Cooking utensil = 炊具 souvenir shop = 纪念品商店 stunning = very beautiful "stunning collection" = a collection that is very beautiful sparkle = 闪闪发光 "a mixture of gold and copper" .... copper is another common metal. "a complimentary drink" = a free drink "rich, gooey, pure chocolate" "rich" here means thick .. "gooey" means 黏的 Everyone say: "rich, gooey, pure chocolate" "off the beaten path" is a term we most often use when traveling... If you come to America, don't just see the popular spots, you should go off the beaten path. America was founded in 1776. China was founded in 1949.
