　　根据报道东方绿洲(Oriental Greenboat)要更名，有外国人建议用”Discovery Land” “Family Park” 或 “Youth Heaven ”。写出你的看法；或者你自己拟个名字，并陈述理由。

　　范文如下：

　　As is reported, Oriental Greenboat is planning to change its name. Many citizens as well as the foreigners have great interest in giving a new name such as “Discovery Land” “Family Park” or “Youth Heaven”.

　　It suddenly occurs to me that why don’t we call it “The World of Discovery ”.I’ve got several reasons to account for it.

　　First of all, the word “world” has a more meaningful definition than “park” or “ land”. According to my visit, Oriental Greenboat covers a vast area, and it is more appropriate to call it a “world” rather than a “park”.

　　Secondly, Oriental Greenboat provide the chance to enhance the relationship between family members and promote friendship between the youth. We are give the opportunity to relax and enjoy ,thus discovering what is of great importance in our life. Thirdly , students are involved in many activities there. They come to discover how they should cooperate and overcome the difficulties with their own efforts. This is a world for them to discover how wonderful and able they are!

　　To sum up , I think it would be a wise choice to name it “ The World of Discovery”.
