Ice Rink with Dead Fish – level 2

05-12-2016 15:00

In Japan, a theme park named Space World opened an ice rink that had 5,000 real dead fish inside the ice. Space World said that it wanted to educate visitors about ocean animals. The fish were frozen in formations and designs and there were 25 different types of fish inside the 250-metre long ice rink.

Space World wanted visitors but instead received criticism, as many people condemned the ice rink and boycotted the park. Space World is going to replace the ice and hold a service for the dead fish.

Difficult words: theme park (a park like Disneyland), condemn (say that you do not like something), boycott (when you do not spend money or go to a business), service (a religious event to show respect for something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
