常用应急场景

范例一：Barney tour

Where did you get all these barney tour pamphlets?

I took them from a travel agency. Look at those nice pictures, lash¹ forest, palm fringed, white sand beaches, crystal blue ocean, they’re breath-taking. It is like paradise on earth.

That’s why it’s become a very popular holiday destination these years. Someone told me the service there is very good too. Are you planning to spend the holiday there?

Yes, I’m thinking about signing up for a tour in the travel agency. Their next tour starts the same time as my holiday does next month.

How many days is the tour?

10 days. When I get back, I still have two days to go before work. Isn’t that great?

That’s a perfect plan. Enjoy yourself.

范例二：Visit terra-cotta warriors²

Have you ever been to Xi’an?

Yes, I’ve been there several times on business trips. But I have never really seen the terra-cotta warriors as it is outside the city.

I’ve heard many people saying that it is a place worth touring. I really want to see the old walls and terra-cotta warriors one day. Of course I won’t miss the local food either. You know, the sites interests a food in scenery, food is a key factor when visiting a place.

I agree. As long as the food is not too bizarre once I saw some people eating insects. That is frightening.

Sure it is. Is it convenient to get there by plane?

Well, the airport is quite far from the downtown area, but it is still more convenient than taking the train.
