<sp3> Ok. Mm mm my name is ***. I come the northwest of China, in Xinjiang. Er and er my hobbies very I I have many many hobbies, because my belief is erm that when you are young, you must try many many things. Mm because I think mm if you try, er you can get much. And you can get experience er that will help. Er and my hobbies mm for example, I like reading, writing and swimming and so on. Erm I think erm as for my special aptitude, erm I'm very proud that I a member of our school chorus group. And in this summer vocation, we will go to France to erm attend a national chorus festival. I think that will be one of my most memorable time. Ok. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, good. Now that we know each other, we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to I'd like you to say something about ? Ok? Why do you think more and more Chinese people are going tourist these days? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Erm er because erm people er need relax after their work. And so when they [Wth-z] are on holiday, and they [Wth-z] will spend time enjoy themselves [Wth-z] [Wves-f] themselves. And for this [Wth-z] May day holiday, there [Wth-z] are 7 days and many people er take this time to have a good time. Erm they [Wth-z] can visit the Palace erm Musuem and er they [Wth-z] can er travel around er travel aroud the city. And and er some people, if they [Wth-z] erm can afford afford they can go abroad to broaden their horizons. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, ***. Why do you think more and more foreigners are visiting China? </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think [Wth-s] it's because er China is getting better and better. Er with this year's development, er China has become the [Wth-z] very important er superpower in the international visions. And [Pd-er] I think [Wth-s] many foreigners want to understand Chinese. And they want to come to China to have a look. And there [Wth-z] are many sites of interest in China. And this [Wth-d] is the er very important reason I think [Wth-s] that why foreigners want [Ww-v] to come. And I think [Wth-s] Chinese people also want [Ww-v] to communicate with [Ww-v] the foreigners. So they welcome [Ww-v] the foreigners come to China and show their hospitalities. And [Pd-er] I think [Wth-s] [Pk-er] it's also a good way [Ww-v] for the students to er communicate with [Ww-v] people that come from other places. And they er in this way [Ww-v] they can broaden their horizons and to deal with [Ww-v] the occasions that they did not meet have not met before. And I think [Wth-s] er maybe some day in future, I'd like to go to the go abroad. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok. Do you think it helpful to have a tour guide during ? ? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Er I think that will help. Because when you when you go go out, go out of your home, you can broaden your horizon as he said. Erm because I think mm when you have a tour, mm you can you can meet many many people. You can communicate with them and you can see many many mm places be interest. And you can under-understood understand their background and history. Erm I think erm the most important is that er when you see that, then you can feel the you can feel the background of the of of these places. And [Pd-er] you can think [Wth-s] after you mm you have you have seen that mm because mm I think mm. I'm sorry. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. Now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is going on a tour. Each of you will be given a card er showing er with four pictuers showing places of interest in China. I like you to say reasons for visiting these places. And you will have 1 minute to prepare and each of you will have one and half minutes to give your presentation. Don't worry if I interrupt you when time is up. Ok? Here are your cards? Ok, ***. Would you please begin? And *** and ***, put your cards aside and listen to what he has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Ok. That [Pt-er] my reasons er for visiting is this. Big cities as er Beijing, I think, is the capital of China. And [Pd-er] it's the [Pe-r] er central of the political politic and the culture of China. And it is also the capital of the Min and Qin periods of China. And [Pd-er] there [Wth-z] are many sites of interest in Beijing. And [Pd-er] er many er visitors want to go to Beijing because they [Wth-z] want to er because they [Wth-z] want to feel the [Wth-z] atmosphere [S2] in Beijing, the atmosphere [S2] of the [Wth-z] er heavy Chinese culture and the history. And [Pd-er] then mm I think [Wth-s] I will go to Shanghai Shanghai, the famous city in China. That is the first city is the call the first city er during the [Pd-er] period of the er Ming Guo. Er and I think [Wth-s] Shanghai is a well developed er city in China. And many international committees [Wee-er], events, activities go hold in Shanghai in recent years. And I think [Wth-s] er if I go to Shanghai, it will [Ww-v] be a pleasure er it will [Ww-v] be a pleasant expe- experience for me. And [Pd-er] Guangzhou, this [Wth-d] is the [Wth-z] most important harbor city in China. And [Pd-er] Guangzhou is the first city opened to the [Wth-z] [Pe-er] is the [Wth-z] only city opened to the foreign er visitors in Qing period. Er and I think [Wth-s] this city maybe has the tradition that connect with [Ww-v] the foreign er customers and foreign visitors. And I think [Wth-s] Guangzhou people may er teach me much more than people in other places. And [Pd-er] the last one is Dalian. Er Dalian is a new city and we always call it the city of romance. And the city is very beautiful that I have a classmate in from Dalian. And he she told me that Dalian is very er is very well [Ww-v] planned and er the ci- and the city is also er has a very good port. And [Pd-er] maybe I think [Wth-s] [Pk-er] it's a good new places for the visitors visiting. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok, ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Ok erm as we alll know, mm Hangzhou is a women's city. So mm and West Lake it is a symbol of Hangzhou city. Mm I have I have been there before. And I think when I get when I got there, I feel I became tender. And I feel I like I'm a real woman. So er I think west lake west lake er give me er impression that er that is a very very tender place. And next Guilin, Guilin scenery. I think mm the mountains and lakes in Guilin are very very beautiful, ern although I I haven't been there. Mm I think the lake erm I think there the lake is very very blue. And the air is very very pure. You can feel mm you are back to the mm the former time and you feel relaxed. Mm next Mount the Mount Tai Shan. Er I think when you got to the top of Taishan, er you must feel that erm you are the top of world, top of the world. Erm and er I think if I have the, I will be brave bravely enough. Erm I will got to top. Mm and I will see all the er all the scenery in the mm I think I will see all the scenery er under my foot. I will everything I will done first. First the first person of the of the world. Er the last Beidaihe seaside resort. Mm I think when you got to the seasi- the seaside, mm when you when you are lay down on the beach, erm you feel relaxed. And [Pd-er] erm when you swimming swimming in the erm in the sea, er I feel I'm very I feel er very er very relaxed. And when you contact with the blue water, erm I feel er all the things in my eyes is blue. Erm that will that will be a very very good feeling. That's all. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. ***. </interlocutor>
<sp1> The picture I got erm shows mm 4 pictures. Erm the Great Wall [Ww-v], Pala-Palace Museum, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven. And they are very famous in the world [Ww-v]. Erm the first, the Great Wall [Ww-v]. I have been there twice. And er it's so great. I think it's the greatest greatest erm building in the world [Ww-v]. And there is an old saying: one [Wo-v] who doesn't go to the Great Wall [Ww-v] is not a he- is not a hero. Erm so many people from er abroad and home erm will go to the Great Wall [Ww-v]. And the second er the second picture is summer er is Forbidden City. Erm Forbidden City is also very famous. And it is the the the emporer's family, I think. Er it's quite very big family. Erm and the third one is the Summer Palace. I like er Summer Palace best. Erm I think er there are much views and there are traditional buildings. Erm so I like it best. Erm the last one is Temple of Heaven. I will be there, too. Erm it's a very ? place I think. I have a feeling that erm I am walking [Ww-v] to the heaven. Erm I think er people have many reasons to go erm these 4 places. Er first is to er gain er historic er knowledge. Erm it it is er it is a record [S2] of the history, I think. Er second I think er you can appreciate erm the art the arts of the architecture. </sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Ok. Ok, now that we all have some idea reasons of visiting these places. I'd like you to talk to discuss this topic further and see if you can agree on what places college students would like to tour most. During the discussion, you may argue with each other and ask each other questions to clarify point. And you will have 4 and half minutes to discuss the topic. And remember during the discussion you should try to come to agreement on what places college students would like to tour most. Ok, now please start. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Ok, first I have a question. When you plan to have a tour, mm which place is the first choice? </sp3>
<sp1> Erm I think I will [Ww-v] choose Shanghai as my er first choice. Er for I'm now studying in Beijing and I hope appreciate it er the traditional er the traditional building in Beijing. And I like it very much. And as I'm concerned, I feel erm Shanghai is a modern city. Erm erm there are also many western buildings in Shanghai. So I like to visit Shanghai to have a look. </sp1>
<sp3> What about you? </sp3>
<sp2> Er erm I think I agree with her. Er I will go to Shanghai this summer holiday. And [Pd-er] I think [Wth-s] Shanghai is a most er famous city in China, that I think [Wth-s] it's more famous than Beijing. And I think [Wth-s] [Pk-er] there are many foreign com- er companies in Shanghai. And [Pd-er] er Shanghainese erm have er many different [Pt-er] sense er betw er from other places, because I think [Wth-s] they [Wth-z] have connect with [Ww-v] foreign foreigners more er frequently than [Wth-z] people in other place. And [Pd-er] I think [Wth-s] [Pk-er] mm Shanghai er Shanghai is a city that [Pt-er] are much culture tradition than the city than Beijing and other cities. And it's also a habor city. We can er be- because harbor city I think [Wth-s] the er I think [Wth-s] the people in Shanghai can go abroad and go to other places very easily. And I think [Wth-s] maybe they can er knew that much more than I have. And and I think [Wth-s] they will [Ww-v] teach me much more. Ok. </sp2>
<sp1> Would please tell er tell us something about your favorite place? </sp1>
<sp3> I think the most fantastic thing is erm that Shanghai is also my best choice. I think Shanghai is the romantic dream of me of me. And I want to go to Shanghai, since I was a child. Erm I think is a very modern city. </sp3>
<sp1> Yes. </sp1>
<sp3> And erm when I got I think when I get to Shanghai, I will feel the big city or to say erm metropolitan. And and that will give me a impetus [S2] [We-e] to study harder and harder. Er I think [Wth-s] mm Shanghai is a very very good city mm of mm full of mm vigorous. </sp3>
<sp1> Yeah. It's interesting that all of us like Shanghai. I think Shanghai must be a quite good city. And I think there there must be other cities mm that that are er attractive to us. Don't you think so? </sp1>
<sp2> Attrative to us? I think [Wth-s]I  like to go to the city that near the sea, because er I like the sea, because I like swimming. And I think [Wth-s] [Wk-er] people will be er beside seas have much more knowledges and informations from the foreign er from the foreigner countries and [Pd-er] from many places er in the world [Ww-v]. And [Pd-er] the people ma- in er the people in the inland countries are much ill than much ill-informed than the people in the city near the sea. And [Pd-er]  that's the most important reason I like Shanghai is that Shanghai has the tradition that er er communicate with [Ww-v] the foreign people and I think [Wth-s] the er concern concerns of the [Wth-z] people in Shanghai are much more modern than people in other place cities. </sp2>
<sp1> Yeah. </sp1>
<sp2> And [Pd-er] maybe I think [Wth-s] [Pk-er] if er other city attract me, it's because its history and I want to see the er er specific [S1] things [Wth-s] in the city. But er if er they if the city didn't have the mm that things [Wth-s], I didn't like to go there. </sp2>
