　　FUTUROSCOPE①- EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING

　　Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle②. After that, I joined some divers③ and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures④ that have never seen sunlight⑤. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T­Rex⑥， and survived the experience!

　　I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987⑦， Futuroscope is one of the largest space­age parks in the world. This science and technology­based theme park in France uses the most advanced⑧ technology. Its 3­D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand⑨ new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to⑩ parts of the world they have never experienced, ⑪going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up­to­date information together with⑫ many opportunities for hands­on⑬ learning makes the world come to life⑭ in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more.
