资料卡:青湖公园(虚构练习地点)

青湖公园在市中心,从地铁站步行大约十分钟就到。公园里有一个湖,湖边有步道,还有一座老桥。小王上周日早上去过,觉得那里很安静,适合散步和拍照。到了中午,人渐渐多了起来。他建议朋友早点儿去,穿舒服的鞋。这里是虚构的练习资料,不是实际景点的出行指南。

Planning a visit to the Great Wall. Read it aloud twice: once for meaning, once for fluency — the syllabus tests this task across listening and speaking.

A
这周六我们去爬长城吧!都说"不到长城非好汉"。
Zhè zhōuliù wǒmen qù pá Chángchéng ba! Dōu shuō "bú dào Chángchéng fēi hǎohàn".
Let's climb the Great Wall this Saturday! As they say, "You're not a true hero until you've been to the Great Wall."
B
好啊!去八达岭还是慕田峪?
Hǎo a! Qù Bādálǐng háishi Mùtiányù?
Sure! Badaling or Mutianyu?
A
慕田峪人少一些,风景也美,就是远一点儿。
Mùtiányù rén shǎo yìxiē, fēngjǐng yě měi, jiùshì yuǎn yìdiǎnr.
Mutianyu is less crowded and beautiful — just a bit farther.
B
没关系,我们早点儿出发。门票要提前在网上订吗?
Méi guānxi, wǒmen zǎodiǎnr chūfā. Ménpiào yào tíqián zài wǎngshàng dìng ma?
No problem, we will leave early. Should we book tickets online in advance?
A
我们先查一下景区的购票说明,再决定什么时候出发。
Wǒmen xiān chá yíxià jǐngqū de gòupiào shuōmíng, zài juédìng shénme shíhou chūfā.
Let’s check the attraction’s ticket information first, then decide when to leave.
B
那就这么定了,我顺便查查天气预报。
Nà jiù zhème dìng le, wǒ shùnbiàn chácha tiānqì yùbào.
Settled then — I will check the weather forecast while I am at it.
