My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in the east of China. I hope you can provide
me with some information about the kinds of vacations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to
an exciting place, and we don't mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place we can do lots of exercise;
we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of exercise is fine. We also need to stay in an
inexpensive hotel. It would be nice if our hotel had rooms with kitchens so we could save money by cooking
our own meals. The room needs to be big enough for three people. Also, we'd like to stay at a place with a
big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots? Also,
please let us know if it is best to travel by plane, train or bus. We'd like to be away for about three weeks.
Thank you very much.
S.T.Zhang

My wife said to me quietly, “That’s his ninth cup of tea today. ”But she said in a loud voice, “It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it?” “I’ll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said. John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

“Yes, colder—and more expensive! Dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30th, won’t they, John?”

One day Mr Jackson took Paul to his favorite restaurant. It was a French restaurant. The waiter was
from France. But he didn't speak to them in French."Would you like to see the menu?" he asked in a
kind way. "Yes, please," Mr Jackson said.
The waiter gave them a menu each. They studied them. " You can spend only twenty-five dollars,"
Mr Jackson told his son. The waiter asked Paul, "What would you like, young man?"
''How much is the tomato soup?" Paul asked. "Six dollars," the waiter said. "It's very good.''"How
much is the duck with orange?" Paul asked next. "Fifteen dollars" the waiter said."How much is the
chocolate ice cream?" "Six dollars," the waiter said.
Paul added(加)it up quickly. Six plus fifteen plus six is twenty-seven. He thought he could have the
duck and the soup, or the duck and the ice cream. "I'll have the duck and the chocolate ice cream,
please," he said to the waiter.
Paul said to his father, "My meal will cost only twenty-one dollars. Can I keep the other four
dollars?" His father laughed, "No, Paul," he said. "Leave it for the waiter."
