Let’s take a walk round the museum now. The first room we’re coming to is the theatre. This room is used to screen videos of special interest and we also use it for lectures. There’s a continuous video showing today about the voyages of Captain Cook, so come back here later on if you want to learn more about Captain Cook.
Now, we’re moving along the gallery known as the Leisure Gallery. This is one of our permanent exhibitions and here we try to give you an idea of the many different ways in which Australians have enjoyed their time by the sea: surfing, swimming, lifesaving clubs, that’s all very much a part of Australian culture. At the end of this section we’11 come to the Picture Gallery where we’ve got a marvelous collection of paintings, all by Australian artists. I think you can buy reproductions of some of these paintings in the museum shop. Well worth a good look.
And down at the far end of this floor, you’11 find the section which we’ve called Passengers and the Sea. In this part of the museum we’ve gathered together a wonderful collection of souvenirs from the old days when people traveled by ship. You’11 find all sorts of things there: old suitcases, ships’ crockery, first class cabins decorated in the fashion of the day. Just imagine what it must have been like to travel first class.

对于这个话题，很多考生觉得无话可说。很多考生从没去过博物馆，即使去过，让他介绍具体的展品，又会对众多专有名词感到一筹莫展。通过对听力原文的精读和学习，考生更容易掌握介绍博物馆的思路。通过改写，我们甚至能很巧妙的运用听力中现成的句型，短语来组织part 2卡片。
The museum I’m going to describe is called Maritime Museum which is located in Australia. It’s a very modem building built in the post modern style and it’s been designed with a nautical flavor .But the museum isn’t only housed in this building; there are a number of historic ships docked outside in the harbor, which form part of the museum.
The museum consists of several parts: an education center, a nice little library, a theater, a leisure gallery, a member’s lounge and a souvenir store.
This theater is used to screen videos of special interest and lectures. There’s a continuous video showing today about the voyages of Captain Cook.
The Leisure Gallery is well worth a good look. The permanent exhibitions can give you an idea of the many different ways in which Australians have enjoyed their time by the sea: surfing, swimming, lifesaving clubs, that’s all very much a part of Australian culture. And the Picture Gallery contains a marvelous collection of paintings, all by Australian artists. I think you can buy reproductions of some of these paintings in the museum shop.
My favorite part is souvenir shop. There is a wonderful collection of souvenirs from the old days when people traveled by ship. You’11 find all sorts of things there: old suitcases, ships’ crockery, first class cabins decorated in the fashion of the day. Just imagine what it must have been like to travel first class.
The unique feature of the museum is the historic ships which dock outside in the harbor. If you are interested, you can take a tour in the ship called Vampire, which is the highlight of the tour.
