B. A Conducted Tour

A group of young people from the United States of America are on holiday in China. They are talking to a Chinese friend, Fu Jie, at a tea house.
Fu Jie: So you all went on a conducted tour yesterday afternoon. How did you enjoy it?
Fritz: It was wonderful.
Fu Jie: Where did you go first?
Fritz: First we went to Tian'anmen Square.
Fu Jie: How did you find it?
Fritz: Very impressive. It was so impressive that I could hardly bear to leave.
Fu Jie: And after that?
Leo: After that we went to the Forbidden...
Fu Jie: The Forbidden City.
Leo: Yes, the Forbidden City. It was fascinating.
Boris: Then we left the Forbidden City and drove to the Summer Palace. It's such an exciting place.
Fu Jie: How did you spend the evening?
Bill: We went to see Beijing Opera.
Fu Jie: I bet you were dead tired when you got back to your hotel.
Bill: I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.

Passage Planning a Trip

Travelers fall into two categories: those who make lists and those who do not. Some people prefer to plan the course of their trip to the finest detail. For others, the joy of a trip is its spontaneity.
Neither approach works perfectly in South America. It is an area that requires considerable preparation; internal flights often run only once or twice a week, and an advance booking can mean the difference between continuing to a new city and waiting several days for another flight. On the other hand, planners will have to leave some matters to be done without having planned them in advance. Some of the most exciting tours are best arranged from nearby cities after your arrival. And whether you consider yourself a planner or a free spirit, you still have to decide certain basics at the very start: where to go, what to do, and how much to spend. These decisions require a certain amount of planning. So before planning specific travel-related details, you might want to establish your general travel aims.
