( G: tour guide T: Tourist)
T: What activities are we going to have tonight?
G: We will go to see programs by Chinese Acrobatic Circus.
T: That is great.
G: The programs are marvelous, some of them won gold medals in various well-known international acrobatic contests such as in France, Hungary,
Russia and Italy.
T: What kind of things do they have?
G: All kinds. They have magic shows, flying trapeze arts, tightrope walking and even the clowns. It is a combination of Chinese acrobatic art, Chinese
gongfu, Chinese dance and Chinese music.
T: That’s great. I’m eager to go now. When and where is it on?
G: It’s on Poly Plaza International theater at 7 O’clock.
( at the theater)
T: Look at the flying trapeze act. They are scary. I’m afraid that the acrobats might fall down to the ground.
G: Don’t worry about them. They are skillful acrobats, and what is more, they have safety ropes fastened on them.
T: They are doing a very hard and dangerous job. It is really breathtaking.
G: Look at this program. It is funny and relaxing.
T: Ah, the clown is doing tightrope walking. He is making faces to the audience.
G: It is not an easy job, isn’t it?
T: No, this would also take a lot of skill. What a special costume he has.
G: Now, look at the girl who is building a pagoda of bowls. This program won a gold medal in the international acrobatic contest in Italy.
T: Oh, this is incredible.
G: How do you think of the programs tonight?
T: The programs are typically Chinese. The dance, the music, the costume, the art are so wonderful. This circus game me a touch of the Chinese culture.
G: I’m glad to hear that.
