[00:-1.00]You are strapped into your seat,the massive jet engines roar, [00:-2.00]and you feel the pulse of the engine as you speed down the runway! [00:-3.00]Exotic places;lions and tigers and tropical rain forests. [00:-4.00]If you've planned your voyage well,you can sit back, [00:-5.00]watch the view out your window and dream of the stories you will have [00:-6.00]to entertain friends and family when you return. [00:-7.00]A journey of a thousand miles always begins with one step. [00:-8.00]-Chinese Proverb [00:-9.00]SECTION 1 NEW WORDS AND IDEAS [00:10.00]Planning a Trip to Australia [00:11.00]Li Ming asking Jenny for advice through e-mail [00:12.00]LiMing:I'm getting ready for my trip to Australia and I'm very excited. [00:13.00]I need some advice from you,Jenny. [00:14.00]I know you have travelled to many foreign countries, [00:15.00]so you probably know some important things [00:16.00]that I should keep in mind when planning my trip. [00:17.00]Jenny:I'm so excited for you.You are going to have a great experience. [00:18.00]This is your first time travelling to Australia,isn't it? [00:19.00]LiMing:Yes,that's right. [00:20.00]There are so many things to think about when planning for such a big trip. [00:21.00]Can you give me a hand with this? [00:22.00]What do I need to remember when I plan my trip? [00:23.00]Jenny:Planning the trip can be half the fun! [00:24.00]Start by making a list of things to do. [00:25.00]As each one is accomplished,you can cross it off the list. [00:26.00]That way you can see how close you are to being ready. [00:27.00]First of all,do you have your passport? [00:28.00]LiMing:Oh,yes,I applied for one right away [00:29.00]and it should be arriving in two weeks. [00:30.00]Jenny:Do you seed a visa to enter Australia? [00:31.00]I know Canandians don't require a visa,but I'm not sure about Chinese citizens. [00:32.00]LiMing:Yes,I think we do.How do I do that? [00:33.00]Jenny:You must apply for your visa at the Australian embassy. [00:34.00]Can you ask one of the supervisors of your trip? They will probably know. [00:35.00]LiMing:Good idea!The next question is what I should pack. [00:36.00]I can only take one bag besides my carryon. [00:37.00]I'm not a very good packer. [00:38.00]Every time I go on a trip I take so many things that I never use, [00:39.00]and usually forget one or two things that I really need. [00:40.00]Last summer,I got on an airplane wearing just shorts,a T-shirt and sandals. [00:41.00]I had packed some nice clothes to wear out at night, [00:42.00]but I forgot to bring socks!I had to waste so much time shopping for socks! [00:43.00]Jenny:That's my point!If you had made a list,that wouldn't have happened. [00:44.00]LiMing:That's why I'm asking you for advice! [00:45.00]What else should I be aware of? [00:46.00]Jenny:When you are packing, [00:47.00]remember that the airlines are very strict [00:48.00]about the items that you can bring in your carry-on luggage. [00:49.00]You can't bring dangerous things,for example fireworks or pocker knives. [00:50.00]LiMing:That's rather strict,isn't it?Do they search every single bag? [00:51.00]Jenny:All carry-on luggage goes through the scanner [00:52.00]but they don't actually open every single one. [00:53.00]That means they choose a certain number [00:54.00]of bags on each flight and ask the owner to unpack everything. [00:55.00]LiMing:Oh,I see.Jenny,what did you do about spending money? [00:56.00]I have to be sure I don't run out of money, [00:57.00]but I am nervous about carrying too much cash with me. [00:58.00]Jenny:Good thinkin,LiMing.You are absolutely right. [00:59.00]Some people order traveller's cheques from their banks. [-1:00.00]They work like cash,except that if they are stolen you can get them replaced. [-1:-1.00]Nowadays,though,many people use banking cards or credit cards. [-1:-2.00]In most countries around the world, [-1:-3.00]you can access your own bank account with your banking card. [-1:-4.00]When you withdraw money in Australia, [-1:-5.00]the money will come to you in Australian dollars, [-1:-6.00]and the correct amount of Chinese yuan(according to the exchange rate) [-1:-7.00]will be deducted from your account. [-1:-8.00]LiMing:Yes,it sounds"easy as pie". [-1:-9.00]How do you like the new idion I learned in English class today? [-1:10.00]Jenny:Great!I think you are going to have a wonderful time in Australia [-1:11.00]because you will be able to speak English to all the new friends you meet. [-1:12.00]Let's talk again soon. [-1:13.00]I love sharing the excitement of planning a trip with you. [-1:14.00]Bye for now. [-1:15.00]Let's singing song [-1:16.00]SECTION 2 MEANING THROUGH PRACTICE [-1:17.00]C.Build your listening skills [-1:18.00]Part 1:First,look at the timeline on page 71 and read statements 1-6[-1:19.00]When does each o these events happen? [-1:20.00]To find out,listen to the first half of Jenny and Li Ming's conversation. [-1:21.00]Then,match the events to the correct places on the timeline. [-1:22.00]Part 2:Now,listen to the second half of Jenny and LiMing's conversation [-1:23.00]and add these events to your timeline. [-1:24.00]SECTION 4 READING FOR TRIP PLANNING [-1:25.00]Tips on Planning a Trip [-1:26.00]Brian was given an assignment to do some research on planning a trip. [-1:27.00]He read some travel guides,searched on the Internet, [-1:28.00]and consulted a travel agency. [-1:29.00]Here's what Brian found out from different sources. [-1:30.00]Although travelling in China may be different from travelling abroad, [-1:31.00]these tips may also help you plan a better trip, [-1:32.00]especially when you want to travel to other countries in the world. [-1:33.00]Perhaps the hardest part of travelling is planning. [-1:34.00]Even if you have decided on a destination, [-1:35.00]there are so many different choices on how to get there, [-1:36.00]where to stay and what to do. [-1:37.00]If you are going to a foreign country, [-1:38.00]there are the additional tasks of getting your travel documents in order, [-1:39.00]such as passports,visas and immunization records. [-1:40.00]When Should You Start Planning? [-1:41.00]A lot depends on where you are going,why you are going, [-1:42.00]how long the trip is,and the time of year you plan to go. [-1:43.00]Travel during the"low season" [-1:44.00]to your destination can be planned much later than a trip during the"high season." [-1:45.00]In general a domestic weekend get-away requires four weeks planning. [-1:46.00]For a seven-day domestic trip,allow eitht weeks. [-1:47.00]However,foreign independent travel needs between three [-1:48.00]and six months preparation and planning. [-1:49.00]Airline Reservation Checklist [-1:50.00]When planning air travel,one of the most important rules [-1:51.00]is to plan well in advance and always check your tickets [-1:52.00]or reservation confirmation to make sure [-1:53.00]all the information is correct. [-1:54.00]In addition,ask your travel agent the following questions [-1:55.00]before booking questions before booking your reservations: [-1:56.00]* Is this a direct flight,or will I have to change planes, [-1:57.00]terminals,or have a layover? [-1:58.00]* How and when do I obtain seat assignments and boarding passes? [-1:59.00]* When should I arrive at the airport for check-in? [-2:00.00]* What are the maximum size and weight,and number of pieces of luggage allowed? [-2:-1.00]* What type of insurance should I purchase? [-2:-2.00]Examples:baggage;accident;life;cancellation;trip interruption. [-2:-3.00]* How do I make special requests for my flight reservations, [-2:-4.00]such as special meals/diet,aisle or window seats,assistance to the gate? [-2:-5.00]* What documentation is necessary for this flight? [-2:-6.00]Should Jason Go on This Trip? [-2:-7.00]Pat's brother,Jason,loves photography.
