LEARN IN CONTEXT
Read and listen across several real contexts
This lesson uses the number and type of texts that fit the topic. Learn the same language across different situations instead of forcing everything into one dialogue.

Why this text is here: Build a visitor explanation from observable form to interpretation.
- 1先指出游客眼前能看到的形状、材料和空间关系。Start with visible shape, material and spatial relationships.
- 2再说明可查证的年代、原来功能和重要变化。Then explain verifiable dates, original function and major changes.
- 3介绍当地人怎样使用这个空间，以及它与生活方式的联系。Describe how local people used the space and its link to ways of life.
- 4最后再提出审美或文化解释，并说明这属于一种理解而不是唯一答案。Finally offer aesthetic or cultural interpretation and mark it as one reading rather than the only answer.
