Topic：Some people think that museums should be enjoyable places to entertain people, while others believe that the purpose of museums is to educate. Discuss both views and give you own opinion.

開頭段第一段：介紹文章的背景，博物館是用來儲存并展覽藝術，文化，歷史的建筑。人們或是因為無聊或是引文對歷史感興趣來參觀博物館，所以有人認為博物館不過是娛樂，而別的人認為博物館主要是用來教育游客。

Museums are buildings in which artistic, cultural, historical objects are displayed and stored. People are attracted to the museums for various reasons ranging from historical interest to killing time. Some people hold the view that museums are used to serve the function of entertainment while others consider the main purpose of museums is to educate the visitors.

主體段第一段：博物館的確能起到教育游客的作用，自然歷史博物館和人類學博物館不僅可以擴大知識面，還可以開闊眼界。而且可以通過歷史遺產清楚地了解到歷史事件的過程，鼓勵下一代變得更愛國更勤奮。

Indeed, appreciating museums should be a good method to instruct and enlighten the visitors. Initially, a museum of natural history not only enlarges one's scope of knowledge, but also widens one's view of life. Furthermore, some museums enact the role of educators because they display the process of historical events vividly via the storage of historic legacies. A case in point is that a visit to military museums about World Second War will educate the younger generation to be more patriotic and inspire them to be more diligent. Meanwhile, visitors can reflect on the past and thus learn from historical lessons（以史為鑒，開創未來的英文翻譯）so that the next generation can avoid committing the similar mistakes.

主體段第二段：但是現在對于歷史的態度有了很大的轉變，遺產展覽的關鍵詞"體驗"，而且越刺激越好，如果可能，還要觸動各種感官。在所謂的遺產地，歷史事件的重演越來越受到人們的歡迎，電腦也可以提供虛擬的現實體驗。

Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered. The key word in heritage display is now "experience", the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all senses. On so-called heritage sites, the re-enactment of historical events is increasing popular, and computers will soon provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choices, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment.

主體段第三段：因此，博物館也需要做出一些改變，讓參觀博物館這件事變的更有吸引力。對于當地人而言，參觀博物館不是為了被教育，而是為了放松，所以加入一些娛樂因素是很有必要的。這樣還能創造經濟收益，提高博物館的名聲。現在很多博物館就開設了不同的服務來增加收入。

All these mean that something must be done with the form of current museums.

It is advisable for museums to provide some entertaining activities to both domestic and foreign visitors. Firstly, as for those domestic visitors, the aim of their pastime is mainly for enjoyment instead of being educated. A pure museum will be less attractive without some humorous or relaxing elements. Also, a museum is, to some extent, a tourist attraction. As a result, applying moderate entertaining factors to its decoration or visiting instruction can help it generate immense economic value, which in turn boosts its reputation and attracts more tourists. To open a theater or have some opera shows, concerts and lectures in the museum might be a commendable suggestion in order to increase attendance.（上文講過的論據，稍做改變用在這里）

結尾段：總結上文，娛樂和教育這兩個目的實際上并不矛盾，相輔相成可以更好地展現博物館。

Ultimately, it is my stand that both entertainment and education roles are indispensable to modern museums, and they are not mutually exclusive and can complement each other.
