visit Mr An in Dalian with your
cousin’s family during the May
Day holiday. We will meet your
cousin’s family in Beijing and
travel together to Dalian. Mr An
was your father and uncle’s
childhood friend. He moved to Dalian five years ago and they
haven’s seen him since.
Father: We’d like you to arrange our trip
to Dalian. We know this will be a
big job for you, but we thought
that you would enjoy finding
some information about Dalian.
Mother: Yes. So why don’t you write
down what information you needto find? The first thing will be for you to decide how we should get there. Before you decide on the means of transport we should take, you should phone Mr An and ask if he can give you some suggestions. Also, have a look on the Internet to see if there is any information there that can help you arrange our trip. We plan to spend no more than two thousand and two hundred yuan on transport for both the families, which is three people travelling from Nanjing to Beijing and six people travelling from Beijing to Dalian. Once you have decided on the means of transport, you need to go to the ticket office and find out about the timetable for the means of transport you
have chosen. Then you can decide
what time we should leave. Is that
all clear?
Father: I’d like you to do one more thing
after that. Please send your uncle
an e-mail to tell him about the
arrangements. You’d better write
everything down as he always forgets about things. Remember to tell him what you have decided about how we shall get there and why, and what time we shall be leaving. Also, remind him not to be late to meet us. Otherwise, he will miss the train!B. One of the things you were asked to do was call Mr An. Listen to the telephone conversation and make some notes about the information Mr An gives. takes a long time;

Mr An: Yes, it is.
Student: My father and his brother were
your childhood friends. He wrote
to you to say we are all coming to
see you during the May Day
holiday.
Mr An: Oh, yes. You know I am so Tapescript looking forward to seeing him
and you again after all this time.
Student: Do you remember me, Mr An?
Mr An: Of course I do. You were twelve
when I left Nanjing.
Student: That’s right. My parents asked
me to call you about our trip to
Dalian. I’ve got some questions
to ask you. Is that OK?
Mr An: OK. What are your questions?Student: My parents asked me to find out
the best way to travel from
Nanjing to Beijing, and then
from Beijing to Dalian. They said
that you might have some
suggestions.
Mr An: I’m not sure which one is the best,
but there are four ways. As I
know, you can’t fly because your
mother hates flying. The otherthree ways are by ship, coach and train, but there are advantages and disadvantages for each one. If you come by ship, it will take a long time and I remember that your father does not like ships. If you come by coach, it takes sixteen hours just to get to Beijing. If you take the train, there are several to choose from leaving at different times. Trains can be crowded, but I do think it will be the most convenient way for you to
travel. Anyway, why don’t you
look on the Internet to help you
decide?
Student: Thanks. That gives me a good
start. I fact, Mum told me to look
on the Internet too. Anyway,
thanks again for your help and
we will see you soon. Bye.Mr An: Bye, and say hello to your
father for me. See you soon. C. Mr An suggested that you look on a website about Dalian.
Check the website below.

Dalian is the most important harbour city and industrial base in north-east China. It has a good transport system that makes it very easy to travel to Dalian from most cities in China and places abroad, but these can be quite expensive.By air
As a major city in northern China, many airlines fly to Dalian. It has good air connections with most large cities on the Chinese mainland, but these can be quite expensive.By train
Dalian is linked to the national railway system, and has direct trains running to Beijing and most major cities in north-east China, including Changchun, Shengyang, Qiqihar, Jilin and Harbin.News Flash: A new service has just opened between Beijing and Dalian and this has speeded up travel between the two cities.By road
Recently, the roads have improved but last summer there was major flooding about 10 kilometres outside of the city. The storms washed away soil along the road and part of the road is still under repair.
News Flash: Expect long delays at peak travel seasons such as May Day holiday.By boat/ship/ferry
Dalian has regular passenger ferry services to many cities. In addition to the frequent fast ferries to ports in Weihai and Yantai, there are slower ferries to Shanghai, Qinhuangdao and Inchon in Korea.News Flash:

your travel allowanceYou need to write an e-mail to your uncle. You need to say that you have decided that the families should take the train and why you decided on this. Also tell him the time when you will be leaving and remind him not to be late!Step 3: writing an e-mail to your uncleOne possible version:Dear uncle,
We’ve decided to go to Dalian by train after comparing different means of transport. Dalian is a port city and it is convenient to get there by ferry, but we will have to go to Shanghai first. The problem is, during the peak travel season the slow ferries are not very punctual, and there is no guarantee that we can get the particular ferry we want. Besides, we can’t go there by air because Mum is afraid of flying and the air tickets would be very expensive. The travel allowance for this trip is only 2,200 yuan. Concerning the above matters, we decided to take trains and meet you in Beijing. First, my parents and I will take Train 1426 that leaves for Beijing at 23.08 on the 30th, and we will arrive at 14.34 on May 1st. Then we’ll meet you and takeT225 to Dalian. The departure time is 18.00. We’ll get to Dalian at 6.00 on May 2nd. The ticket for 1426 is 216 yuan and for T225 257 yuan for one person. So we will spend 2,190 yuan on the train tickets altogether. We’ll meet at the Beijing Train Station. Remember the departure time and don’t be late for the train.
