This magazine article gives a brief account of three museums that three students have ever been to: the American Computer Musem, the International Museum of Toilets and the Hangzhou National Tea Museum. Activity 3a lists two questions for students to answer. By looking for the answer to the first question, students are trained to skim and get the main idea of the passage. And the second question gives students an opportunity to express their own opinions about each museum. There are another three questions in Activity 3b, which require students to scan the passage in order to locate some specific information. Activity 3c is a vocabulary exercise with six expressions.
