L: ( To Mrs. Hunt) can we go now, can’t we?
H: Yes, please.
L: ( To all the people in the coach after a while) Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to introduce myself. My
name is Liming I’m a guide from the Travel Service. Welcome to China. We are glad to have you here. I expect after
such a long trip you ’d like a good rest. So we are driving straight to the hotel…
H: Which hotel?
L:The East China Hotel.
H: I’ve been told that’s a good one. Well , how far is it?
L:Quite a way. I’ll take us about thirty minutes. Well, we’ve reserved four suites and eight single rooms for you at the
Hotel. It’s one of the best in the city. It has a dining-room, a Chinese restaurant, a bar, a barbershop, a beauty parlor
and a laundry service. We hope you’ll have a good time there.
H: That’s great!
L:As we go, please enjoy a glimpse of the outskirts and the city.
H: This tree-lined road is beautiful, and everything in the fields looks so fresh and green.
L:Yes, that’s one of the reasons why the crops are so good in spite of the rather bad weather we’ve had.
H: ( Surprised to see so many newly-built two-storied houses dotted about the fields) Look! I wonder whose houses
they are. The all look brand-new.
L:The are farmers’ houses.
H: How splendid! I wonder if could visit some of them.
L:Certainly. We’ll include it in your sightseeing program… Please look straight ahead, you can see a pagoda. It dates
back to the 10th century. Beside the pagoda there’s an ancient temple…Here’s the famous botanical garden. With
exotic flowers and rare trees in great variety.. Now here we’re in the city proper… Here’s the museum, there’s the art
gallery, and that’s the exhibition center… the tall building you see over there. Here we are. This is East China Hotel.
