Have you ever been to Disneyland?
Most of us have probably heard of Mickey Mouse.
Donald Duck, and many other famous Disney characters.
Perhaps we have even seen them in movies.
But have you ever been to Disneyland?
In fact, there are now four different Disneyland amusement parks around the world.
Two are in the United Stares, one is in Japan, and the other is in France.
Disneyland is an amusement park, but we can also call it theme park.
It has all the normal attractions that you can find at an amusement park, but it also has a theme.
The theme, of course, is Disney movies and Disney characters.
For example, you can find a roller coaster in most amusement parks, but in Disneyland, the roller coaster is themed with Disney characters.
This means that you can find Disney characters all over the roller coaster.
You can also watch Disney movies, eat in Disney restaurants, and you buy Disney gifts.
And you can see Disney characters walking around Disneyland all the time!
Have you ever heard o f a Disney Cruise?
These are huge boats that also have the Disney theme.
You can take a ride on the boat for several days, and you can sleep and eat on board.
There are also many attractions on board, just like any other Disneyland.
You can shop, go to Disney parties, and eat dinner with Mickey Mouse!
The boat rides all take different routes, but they all end up in the same place.
That is Disney's own island.
It is just so much fun in Disneyland!
SECTION B
2a Listen to a teacher interviewing a student. Circle the questions you hear.
2b Listen again and fill in the questionnaire.
3a Read this article from the Hilltop language school newsletter and write answers to the questions.
Come to the Hilltop Language School an change your life.
Here's what two of our students said about our school.
When I was young girl, all I ever wanted to do was traveling, and I decided that the best way to do this was to become a flight attendant.
I've been a flight attendant for tow years now.
It's a really interesting job because I travel all over the world.
I discovered that the most important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at the Hilltop Language School for five years before I became a flight attendant.
It was because I could speak English that I got the job.
Thanks you, Hilltop Language School!

I want to be a tour guide.
In fact, it's all I have ever wanted to be.
I want to travel, especially to English-speaking countries such as the United States and Australia.
However, I know that I have to improve my English, so I've started taking Lesson at the Hilltop Language School.
The Hilltop School has really helped me learn English.
I've been a student here for a year now, and I really love it.
Maybe when I leave school I'll think about becoming an English teacher rather than a tour guide!

Have you ever been to singapore?
Have you ever been to Singapore?
For many Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday.
On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak putonghua a lot of time.
On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!
Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China?
Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country.
In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem finding rice, noodles, or dumplings.
However, if you're feeling brave, singa-pore is an excellent place to try new food.
Whether you like Indian food, western foood, or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore if you look!
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night?
Singapore if you look! night Zoo called the 'Night Safari'.
It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it''s dark.
But if you've ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special.
A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them.
If you go to see lions, tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep!
At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round.
This is because the island is so close to the equator.
So you can choose to go whenever you lke-spring, summer, autumn, or winter!
And, of course, it's not too far from China!
