Conducting a tour from the hotel to the scenic spot is a prime time for tour guides to make an indelible impression on tourists.

give commentaries to sightseeing spots, use the microphone correctly and make yourself heard by every tourist;

Situation I
J: Jane, a local tour guide H: Mr. Hoover S: Mrs. Hoover
J: (after recounting the number of the tourists)
Hello. Friends, I will reconfirm the itinerary for today. Firstly we’ll take a cruise trip down Huangpu River and enjoy the famous Bund of Shanghai. Then we’ll go through the under river tunnel and get to the Pudong Area and climb the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. We’ll have lunch in the tower, then after lunch, go the Yuyuan Garden by coach.
H: I have heard a lot about the Bund1. It must have a long history.
J: Oh, yeah. After the first Opium War in 1840, the bund gradually became the British Concession and International Settlement2.
H: Hum, no wonder we can see many buildings with European style. Some are in British style, and some are in French Style while others are in Greek style.
C: Most of the old buildings in Europe were destroyed in the Second World War. Fortunately the grand buildings that their forefathers built in Shanghai have survived. It sounds like we will enter both Paris and New York.
J: Old and new ones. We can appreciate European-style buildings while watching the skyline of the skyscrapers. Mrs. Hoover, I think you will feel yourself at home when you cruise on the Huangpu River. (to all tourists)Attention, please! The ferry boat starts and we begin our cruise on the Huangpu River.
Situation I
H: What a beautiful city landscape! Look at the building before us, is it the hotel we stayed in last night
J: Yes, the one facing the north was built in 1906 in British Renaissance3 style. It was the earliest hotel in Shanghai. It is really a great works.
S: what about the building facing the south I see a pyramid on the top. It looks more magnificent.
J: It was originally called Sassoon House built in 1928. It has an “A” shape, a typical building of Chicago school style. The famous 19-meter tall pyramid-shaped roof is covered with copper.
H: I see the golden roof is shinning under the sun. It simply looks like a small Egyptian pyramid in the air.
J: That’s right. And the interior decoration of the building is also extraordinary. Can you imagine what its interior looks like It was decorated in different styles of nine countries! The original owner of Sassoon House intended to show how rich he was in this way.
Situation I
S: He must be an upstart in Shanghai at that time. How could he get instantly rich
J: I don’t know. Shanghai used to be the paradise for those adventurers to seek fortunes and enjoy themselves. It was called “Oriental Paris”.
H: I see. I have been traveling around China for about two weeks. I feel little bit homesick when I see this old building.
J: Ladies and gentlemen, the wide road in front of us is the Zhongshan Road where you can see the marvelous European-style buildings. Please turn around, at the other side of the Huangpu River is the Lujiazui Finance Trade District in Pudong where you can see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and other modern buildings. The tower is piercing straight into the clouds and sky4.
H: I know. This morning we’ve already watched it before we have our breakfast. It is an amazing modern TV tower. I see some giant balls just surround the body of the tower. What are they
Situation I
J: They are 11 spheres. The spheres have different sizes, and are arranged at different levels, hanging from the sky down to the green lawns just like big and small pearls dropping on a jade plate5.
S: That’s really a vivid description of the tower. I can’t wait climbing up the tower to have a bird’s eye-view of Shanghai.
J: In the upper sphere at the 267-m level, there is a revolving restaurant. We’ll have our lunch there. I hope you can have a panoramic view of both the old Shanghai and new Shanghai.
H: Thank you very much.
J: OK. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the place we get off the ferry boat. Let’s take your things with you and take good care of your certificates and valuable, in case of picking and stealing.

do not talk about something superstitious or obscene;
do not discriminate the religion, customs and habits of ethnic groups.
Situation II
R: Rebecca, a clerk at a travel service H: Mr. Hoover, the group leader
H: It’s such an exciting place. I’ve never seen water so clear and blue.
R: You’re right. The former President of the USA, Bill Clinton1 came here in 1998 and he was deeply impressed by the beautiful views here.
H: The combinations of hills and waters are really fascinating.
R: Please come over here and take a look. The sun gives a lustrous coating to both the nearby and distant peaks and to the clouds floating high and low. What a view of hills upon hills the sunshine has revealed!
H: Great. Look, the sunshine has dyed the river. It looks like a green satin belt winding amidst the green hills.
S: I can see through the river. I can see the bottom the pebbles, fish, and weeds.
H: It’s like seeing the aquarium through crystal clear glasses.
Situation II
R: You know, we see the hills more clearly in their reflection on the water than the hills on the riverbank. As the water flows, the hills seem to move as well. The landscape in Guilin is characterized by its “green hills, clear waters, pretty rocks, and grotesque caves”2. Each hill in Guilin has caves. These exquisite scenes and objects are a feast for the eyes.
H: I’ve heard another scenic spot “Yangshuo”. Is it worth seeing
R: Yes. If you miss it, you will feel sorry. As the saying goes, “The landscape in Guilin is the best in China, and the landscape in Yangshuo is the besting Guilin.3”Compared with those in Guilin, the hills in Yangshuo are closer to each other, and are more peaceful and secluded. You can miss the West Street (Xi Jie)4, which the small town is famous for. The street is regarded as the biggest "foreign language center" in China, which attracts the foreign visitors by by its unique mix of cultures.
H: You have given us such a good guide that we’d like to go there soon.
R: The ideal traveling route is to take a ferry trip from Guilin along the Li Rive down to Yangshuo, and meanwhile appreciate the beautiful view along the banks.

B. Translate the following into Chinese：
The first known city built at the site of Guangzhou was Panyu (蕃禺, later simplified to 番禺; Poon Yu in Cantonese) founded in 214 BC. The city has been continuously occupied since that time. Panyu was expanded when it became the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom (南越) in 206 BC.
The Han Dynasty annexed Nanyue in 111 BC, and Panyu became a provincial capital and remains so until this day. In 226 AD, the city however became the seat of the Guang Prefecture (廣州; Guangzhou). Therefore, "Guangzhou" was the name of the prefecture, not of the city. However, people grew accustomed to calling the city Guangzhou, instead of Panyu.
In 2000, Huadu and Panyu were merged into Guangzhou as districts, and Conghua and Zengcheng became county-level cities of Guangzhou.

1. 巧妙引导、先声夺人—— “凤头”
e.g. Undoubtedly, the magnificent view in Jiuzhaigou will make you reluctant to leave, and don’t forget that the autumn is the best season to visit it.
Located in Nanping County, Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Jiuzhaigou Ravine stretches 80 kilometers in one direction and takes up an area of more than 60,000 hectares.
e.g. Lijiang is a beautiful shining jewel on the Northwest Yunnan Plateau neighboring the southeast side of the Tibetan Plateau which is considered to be the "Roof of the World". It is impressive because of its scenery and lush vegetation.
e.g. Where can you discover the charm of Paris for yourself Is it in the legacy of all the French rulers who worked to beautify their beloved city Is it in the famous castles, palaces, statues and monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower Can you find it in the world-class museums, such as the Louvre Perhaps Paris’ allure lies in the zest and style of the Parisians.
