A traditional treat is coming soon for Chinese Spring Festival. It's a series of Peking Opera shows that will add to the festive atmosphere. The schedule begins with the classic "Farewell My Concubine," then there will be four more Peking operas on stage during the holiday.
The Peking opera, "Farewell My Concubine" tells the story of Xiangyu, the king of one of the two major forces battling for the unification of China more than 2,200 years ago.
In the play, Xiangyu is surrounded by his enemies and on the verge of total defeat. His favorite concubine,Consort Yuji, realizing the dire situation, commits suicide with Xiangyu's sword after one last dance for him.
This tragedy is one of the classics of the Mei Lanfang School, with a perfect combination of vocals, music and dance.
This opening show on Tuesday at Hongji Theatre starts the series of Spring Festival Peking Opera Plays in China's beautiful northeastern seaside city, Dalian.
Liwei, Section Chief of Dailan Peking Opera Theatre, said, "From February 6th, we will present 4 more plays on stage, including "The Orphan of Zhao." After watching the film "Sacrifice," the movie edition of the story, audiences may enjoy a different pleasure from this classic."
More good news for Peking Opera fans is that all these plays will offer low ticket prices, as low as 10 yuan each.

一、背景介绍英语口语能力的提高是一个长期而艰苦的过程，不仅需要学习，更需要练习。和听力与阅读不同，口语和写作都需要输出。但是如果只是不断地做输出练习，对于口语的提升也是有限的。因为，没有了输入的支撑，那么，反复的输出最终导致的结果就是很熟练的给出一些不地道甚至错误的表达，也就是将错误强化了。因此，口语水平从根本上的提升还需要大量的阅读和听力作为...
