both the older part of the city around the Bund and the more modern buildings in Pudong are full of colourful
bright lights. The buildings, both new and old, look completely different and very exciting.
If you look across the Huangpu River, you can see the brilliant Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jinmao
Tower. Take a boat along the river and you can see the amazing night life on the Bund. There are more than
30 tour boats, including ancient dragon boats in the Ming and Qing styles and boats made in the Shikumen
style. You will never forget this unusual sightseeing experience.
If you prefer walking in the streets, try the famous Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. There are busy shops
and cafes and you will see thousands of local people enjoying themselves. Most of the shops close at 10 pm.
but at that time, tea houses are still open. In fact, some of them are open 24 hours a day. Karaoke bars and
coffee houses are also popular nightlife places where you can meet friends and make new ones.
If you are in Shanghai for the first time, make sure you also visit Xintiandi, a very popular area where you
can see buildings in Western and Chinese style side by side. Most of the buildings are modern inside and
contain galleries, fashion shops, restaurants and coffee houses. Open air bars are also popular here.
Xintiandi is a great place for young people, but it may be a little noisy for older visitors! A quieter place to
visit is Park 97, near the west gate of Fuxing Park in Luwan District. Park 97 opened in 1997 and you can
find clubs and international restaurants like Baci where you can get Italian food and Tokyo Joe"s a Japanese
restaurant.

Back in 1994, I decided to learn Chinese-the most difficult thing I could think of to do. In 1996, my
company was going to set up a small factory in Qingdao and of course I volunteered to work there. Of
all the places to live and work in China, Qingdao is the best. I think.
Qingdao is a popular tourist city for people to go for summer vacations. Its beaches can be crowded
during the summer months. There are plenty of places you can visit in Qingdao: the old Governor"s
Mansion (总督官邸), Laoshan Mountain and Nanshan Market. The German Governor"s Mansion was
built in the late 19th century. At that time, Qingdao was a German colony (殖民地).
The German Governor"s Mansion is a famous hotel now. Laoshan Mountain is a favorite tourist spot.
It is about an hour"s drive from Qingdao. Nanshan Market is an open air market where you can find
almost anything you want.
The foods in Qingdao are famous. Seafood is the most popular dish. Another traditional dish is mutton
soup. For only one US dollar, you can get a big bowl of soup with a few pieces of mutton in it.
By the way, I met and married my Chinese wife while in Qingdao. I suppose I did okey with my
Chinese lessons.

"Thank you" and "Excuse me"
American people have the habbit of saying "Thank you". They say "Thank you" whenever others help
them or say something kind to them. People of other countries do so, too. You should say "Thank you"
when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open
for you, or when someone says your work is well done, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is
beautiful.
"Thank you" is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and
sisters, husbands and wives.
"Excuse me" is another short sentence they use. when you hear someone say so behind you, you know
that somebody wants to walk past without touching (触及) you.
It"s not polite to break others while they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say "Excuse
me" first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant
noise before others.
There are many occasions for "Thank you" and "Excuse me". We should learn to say them in the right
situation.
( )1. If you someone says you speak very good English, you should say "Thank you".
( )2. If you want to disturb (打扰) the people who are talking, begin with "Excuse me".
( )3. You needn"t say "Excuse me" when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.
a plan to dig a tunnel (隧道) and reach England. One of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the
Channel (英吉利海峡) was a French engineer called Albert Mathieu. His tunnel failed.
In 1881, Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel. Their tunnel went
six kilometers into the Channel. Queen Victoria stopped them and said it was dangerous to connect with
France. It was a very good tunnel, and it is still there today. The new tunnel (ready in 1993) is, in fact,
three tunnels-two for trains and a "service tunnel" for fresh air to go in and for men who take care of the
tunnels. The tunnels are fifty kilometers long, forty meters under water. Forty kilometers of tunnel are
under the sea itself. They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Trains travel through the tunnels
at 160 km/h. People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel. Each train takes
1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.
A special radio station called Channel Channel has started, because it is impossible to receive normal radio
signals (信号) when you are under the sea. The station sends news to keep people up-to-date with the "world
outside" while they are in the tunnel.

by 10 percent every year for a few years. What is the best way to go to Tibet for tourist trip, by plane, by
bus or by train? People who want to go to Tibet always ask this question. If you take the plane, you won"t
see the beautiful places on the way. If you take the bus, you will be very tired after the trip. If you take the
train, you can enjoy the scenery along the way and sleep quite well. Now, since July 1, when the first train
ran 1,956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.
The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the
Potala Palace. Passengers can enjoy many activities during the journey, like the Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.
On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried green vegetables and chicken
for lunch. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can
collect the waste. There is also a special garbage system in the train that keeps the environment clean.
All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. Other equipment, such as
televisions and electrical sockets for computers and cell phones, can also be found on the train.
Because there isn"t much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks for those who need them. It makes
the passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous "roof of the world".

(猎豹), elephants, giraffes, crocodiles and so on. Every year, many people in the world travel to this
African country to watch the animals closely. But do you know how they travel?
By bus-This is the most common way. When people get on a bus, they"ll find that the bus is a little
strange. It is different from the buses we often see. There are no big windows at all, but some small
windows. And it looks like a cage. What are they used for? Oh, people can use it to watch animals,
especially those dangerous animals, and take photos. We know that people are most interested in the lions.
So when two buses meet, the drivers will stop and ask each other whether they have found lions.
By boat-We can often see many people are in a boat, enjoying the beautiful scene along a river of a
lake, and they can also enjoy hippos (河马) and crocodiles from a nearer distance.
By hot balloon (热气球)-In the early morning, when the sun is beginning to rise, a large hot balloon is
also starting its journey. Taking a hot balloon makes most of the travelers excited. After some time, the
balloon will land in a certain place, and the waiters will serve people a delicious and special breakfast. But
the cost of taking a hot balloon is also very high. A person should pay 400 dollars for an hour"s trip.
