Talking about Travelling
Susan: Hello, Jacob, how are you doing
Jacob: Hi, Susan! Im fine. I heard youve been to many places inChina during the past year.
Susan: Yes, I have. I love traveling.
Jacob: Which do you prefer Going on a package tour with a touragency or going on your own a “Do-It-Yourself” tour
Susan: When I first came to China, I usually took package tours butnow Ive found Do-It-Yourself tours are more interesting.
Jacob: Yes, they are. I like traveling independently. Theres not so much******* in a package tour.
Susan: Exactly. What I really dont like in a package tour is that the tourbuses stop at tourist stores for a certain time and we are forced tospend lots of time shopping even if we have little interest in jade,pearls or paintings.
Jacob: Yes, another disadvantage is that the tourists have to followexactly the travel agencys schedule, but in a Do-It-Yourself tourthey can select their own itinerary.
Susan: And in a package tour, I always have to hurry up to follow thetour guide and stand next to him to hear what he says. I cant staylonger at those places I like and take more pictures.
Jacob: Thats another reason why I prefer Do-It-Yourself option. I cantravel at my own pace.
Susan: And besides that, its great to select your own travel mates.
Jacob: Youre right. Traveling with friends or family is better than goingwith strangers.
Susan: Im planning to drive myself to the countryside in the weekend.
Would you like to come
Jacob: Id love to, but Ive already promised to go backpacking with myclassmates.
Susan: Thats all right. Maybe I can ask Lisa. She loves “Do-It-Yourself”
tours, too.
Jacob: Have a nice weekend!
Susan: Thanks. The same to you!
谈论旅行
苏 珊:雅各布,你好。最近好吗
雅各布:还好吧。我听说你去年去了中国的很多地方。
苏 珊:是啊。我是去了不少地方。我喜欢旅行。
雅各布:你更喜欢哪一种旅行,是跟旅行团还是自助游
苏 珊: 我刚来中国的时候常常跟团旅游。但现在我发现自助游更有意思。
雅各布: 是啊,确实如此。我喜欢自己旅行,跟旅行团不太自由。
苏 珊: 没错! 我最讨厌跟团的地方就是,就算我们对那些宝石、珍珠和画一点兴趣也没有,旅游大巴也总要在那些景点的商店停一段时间。我们就被迫花时间购物。
雅各布: 是啊。跟团还有一个缺点就是游客必须听从旅行社的日程安排。但要是自助游的话,游客就能自主安排行程。
苏 珊: 而且跟团旅行时我总是忙着赶上导游,站得离他近一些好
听他讲解。这样,我就不能在我喜欢的景点多呆一会儿,多照几张相片了。
雅各布: 这也是我更喜欢自助游的另一个原因,就是能按我自己的节奏旅行。
苏 珊:不仅如此,能自己选择旅伴也是件很棒的事。
雅各布: 你说得对。与朋友和家人一起旅行比和陌生人旅行更好。
苏 珊:我计划着周末自己开车去郊区玩。你想一起去吗
雅各布:我很想去。可我已经答应和同学一起去远足了。
苏 珊:没关系,或许我可以问问丽莎,她也喜欢自助游。
雅各布:祝你周末玩得愉快!
苏 珊:谢谢。你也是!
