It said, “Enjoy a week of sightseeing in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities     staying at one of its best hotels. ” Now I wasn’t so sure.

    “Are you sure?”

    “Of course I’m sure!”

    “I’ll    our hotel engineer at once. ”

    An hour later, the engineer came to look at the     . He hit the pipes (水管) a few times and looked     . “Sorry, but I cannot fix it today. Maybe, tomorrow.” Then he      his hand. I couldn’t believe it! He wanted a tip (小费) for doing     ! I was very angry. But suddenly, I had a better idea.    , I gave the engineer a few coins. He hadn’t fixed my shower but he had taught me something      staying in his country. Two minutes later I was at the reception desk. I explained the       to the receptionist (接待员) and he replied, “Sorry. This is a     situation, but what can we do?” I knew exactly      to do. I gave the hotel manager a very large tip.
