4. Opening hours? (24-hour? 10am to 9pm?)

6. Promotion? (flyers? Posters? Emails? banners? Advertisements? Fireworks? )
7. Decoration?
8. Name?
9. Entrance fee?
10. Different floors? (castle? Butterfly house?)

Remember to think BIG!

Picture Story (amended by Phyllis)


Once upon a time, there were some “super-magicians” living in the sky and in a tree house. We could not see them because they wore invisible coats, and we could only see their shoes. They could make people fly in the sky. The magic was a mystery. The magic was special and could amaze you. Some magicians played pranks on thieves. Some people said they were like policemen. Now the super-magicians lived on earth but we could not see them.

When the super-magicians lived in the magic world, they did not have money to buy anything. Alvin was one of them. When he was young, is family was poor and did not have much food to eat. So Alvin went to the magic school to learn some magic. When he was 12 years old, he used magic to make more gold so his family was not poor. They could have more food and were not hungry everyday. Now, he has built magic schools on earth and is living here. He is a famous magician. Everyone goes to his school to learn about magic. The magic world has disappeared.


Reminder:
BECAUSE and SO cannot appear in the same sentence.
