2. Welcome aboard, everyone! I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us and get a lovely glimpse of country life.

We're going to a wonderful market on Tuesday morning, I'm sure you'll love that with all the local farm produce on sale.
我们周二早上会去一个很棒的市场。我很肯定你们都会爱上那儿的， 所有的本地农场出产的农产品都有售卖。
Then on the Wednesday you'll get to see where all that lovely produce comes from as John Smith, a local farmer, has invited us to see him at work.

3. A: So, what topic are we going to choose for our project? It's due in three weeks.
3、A：那么，我们的项目该选什么课题？三周后就要交了。
B: I know, it's not a lot of time. I was going to suggest we do one on the environment.
B：我明白，时间不多了。我建议我们做环境类。
A: But that's so broad a topic. We should try to narrow it down. What about recycling?
A：但这个课题也太广了。我们应该把范围缩小些。回收课题怎么样？
B: That's a good idea, there's a lot of information and I think the other groups are concentrating on pollution, so this would be nice and different.
B：这个主意不错，信息很多，而且我认为其他小组主要集中于污染课题，所以这个课题很好，有新意。
4. We encountered quite a few problems during our research. Firstly, the weather was horrendous and made our work conditions very difficult indeed .
4、我们在研究过程中遇到了好些问题。首先，天气糟透了，使得我们的工作条件变得非常艰苦。
Luckily, we had the right equipment to deal with that, and could carry on regardless.
幸运的是，我们有合适的设备来应对这一切，能排除万难继续工作。
Unfortunately though, in spite of having so many volunteers, we did run out of funds halfway through the project. So, we were forced to postpone the second half of our trip.
但不幸的是，尽管我们有很多志愿者，我们在项目中途资金就用完了。所以我们被迫将另一半考察之旅延后。
