But trying to remember all those important facts can be difficult and boring. Reading and memorizing facts might not be much fun. But if you knew that it could help you get a job as a tourist guide，you might think differently. Now students at a high school in Sidon，an ancient city in Lebanon(黎巴嫩) in the Middle East，are doing just that. The Sidonbased，AlIman high school has begun training students as tourist guides at the citys historical and religious sites. As a part of the training，on December 26，a group of students were taken for a visit to the citys Sea Castle. They listened to explanations about the fortress(堡垒) history，including its origin，the way it was built and the wars it has seen. “It is good for me to learn about history on the spot. We have learnt much more than we could by just reading the history textbooks，” said one of the students，Hussam Rawas. “I am really proud of being able to explain things to foreign tourists. ”Up to 250 students have been selected to take a years special training course by a professional teacher. After that，some of the students may have the chance to become professional tourist guides. The principal of the school，Kamel Kazbar，said he came up with the idea after he was surprised by the poor quality of the guides in the city. “Most Lebanese，” he said，“ignore the history of the city of Sidon. ”Kazbar described the plan as an extracurricular activity that aimed at highlighting the importance of Sidons legacy of historical sites. “This is a pioneering project，which will be good for the students，the city and tourists. ”The city government and its religious authorities also welcomed the idea. 1Whats the main subject of the passage？AA project for training students.
