There are four pictures of different parks-A garden in Suzhou, Hyde Park in London, World Waterpark in Canada, Disneyland. What kind of parks are they? 

S: I think a garden in Suzhou is a place where people have a walk in their spare time to enjoy the beautiful trees, flowers, lakes, stones, buildings and relax themselves. 

T: What about Hyde Park in London? What kind of park is it? 

S: I only know that Hyde Park is a famous park in the world, and there is a speaker's corner where people can make speeches and express their view points freely. 

T: Very good. So what about World Water park in Canada? 

S: I haven't heard of this park before. I guess it is a park where people can take part in all kinds of activities in water. 

T: Good guessing. And I am sure all of you have heard of Disneyland. 

S: Yes, it is the oldest theme park in the world and I think it is the most popular park in the world too. In the Disneyland, people can not only enjoy the exciting activities there, but also get close to the life-size cartoon characters like the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, which appear in some of Walt Disney's famous cartoon films. Luckily for us, a new Disneyland has been built in Hong Kong, and opened to the public on September 12, 2005. So we'll have the chance to go and experience the excitement of this wonderful place in the world more easily. 

T: Which one of these parks would you like to visit most if you have the chance? 

S: Of course I would go to Disneyland, I have watched so much about it on TV and I have dreamed about shaking hands with those lovely cartoon characters and taking pictures with them. 

S: I would like to go to Water park, because I like swimming and I like to take part in the activities in water in this park. 

S: I would go to Hyde Park. I want to go horse-riding, and above all, have the experience of making a speech in front of a crowd of people like a president. That will be really exciting.
