When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?

You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.

Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter (计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!

The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable (合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.

【1】To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.

A. motorbike B. car C. taxi D. bike

【2】What is the writers advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?

A. To make sure there is a meter in it.

B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.

C. To take a taxi going on the road.

D. To bargain with the driver over the price.

【3】It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.

A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads

B. the signs were written only in their own language

C. there were no signs at the farthest corners

D. the quality of the roads was not good

Dear editor,

How are you? I am Michael, a senior English teacher in Linchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jiangxi Province. This letter is written to ask for your opinion.

The other day, I met with a multiple choice exercise. The teachers argued heatedly with 【1】__ we met. Unfortunately, neither side could convince the other after a fairly longtime argument. There is no doubt __2__ the reference answer C is correct. But I don't think【1】__ it is the only answer to this sentence. Personally, I do think A is also a reasonable choice.

What puzzles me is __【4】__ we should deal with so many multiple choice exercises. But being a teacher, you know, it's very important and necessary to make it clear to students which answer is correct, __5__ is more proper, and which is the best one since they keep asking why and why. I can think of many cases __6__ students obviously know a lot of English words and expressions but can't write a good essay or express themselves freely.

In my personal opinion, what I think is __7__ multiple choice test with more than 75 percent of the total scores in college entrance examination is not a very good and effective testing method. Instead, more subjective testing forms can depend on __8__ he or she really knows or not. I don't know __9__ more subjective testing forms will come up in NMET. Do think so?

I am looking forward to your authoritative opinion. And if you can tell me __【10__ we can improve our English both in papers and abilities, I will be very much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Liao
