W:We can have eight days off at last.What are you going to do?
M:You know traveling is my hobby. Let's go to Beijing and have our holidays there.
W: That's a good idea. Beijing is one of the most modern cities in the world. There are many places of interest there. And the 2008 Olympic Games were held there.
M: How should we go there, by plane or by train?
W: I think we should go there by train. It's comfortable and cheap.
M: Though it's cheaper, it's slower. Let's go by plane. We can look down at the Great Wall of China from the plane.
W: OK. Let's go by plane.
M: Then we'd better book the tickets first. I have heard it is very difficult to get air tickets to Beijing.
W: That's right. And we'd better book the rooms too.

W: How could that be funny?
M:Well, as he was reporting the story, hundreds of bees attacked him.The reporter had to hide into his SUV and drive away. But he was unlucky.
W: Did he have an accident?
M: No. Some bees followed him into his car.
W: I hope he got to the doctor's quickly. Jack, how about a walk in the park?It's a beautiful day today.
M: But I don't feel like walking outside now. There are so many funny videos on this website. I just can't stop watching them.
W: Come on, Jack. You can't sit in front of the laptop all day. It's not good for your eyes.
M: You're right — I'll go to the park with you. Just wait one minute.

If you have trouble finding the best hotel for your trip to London, I'm sure this passage will help you a lot.
The Swan Hotel is a pretty small hotel.The good thing about it is that it's not far from the airport.All thirty-five rooms are double rooms and all of them have bathrooms. Each room also has a TV but you can't surf the Internet. The hotel accepts credit cards.
The Sunrise Hotel is a lot closer to the centre of London, so it's probably a bit more expensive than the Swan Hotel. It's within walking distance of many theatres and shopping centres.Every room has an Internet connection and you have to pay to use that. You can pay in cash or by check in the hotel.
The Backpacker Hotel is pretty near the centre of London. You can take the underground there from the airport but it takes more than an hour to get there. They've got sixty rooms. They don't have the Internet connection in each room.The hotel accepts cash only.
