You don’t want to get to your destination and find that you have the wrong visa (签证).
Buy a guidebook and read about the local culture of the country you will be visiting. Also, try to learn a few b 3. words and phrases of the local language to enable you to communicate a bit. Don’t just expect that everyone will speak your language, or that they will understand English.

My turn came at last. I quickly got everything done, and was 1. to leave. Just then, someone came nearer to me. I stopped to 2. and saw him old and thin, with a dirty coat on him which had been worn out. I could see easily that he was poor, from the far mountain area. I stepped backward. I was in my 3. new coat.

Just then, my mobile phone rang. It was a(n) 5. to refuse him. I had my own business to do. Hopelessly and 6. , he gave up begging me and tried to find someone else who would lend him a hand.

Jack
