Our Exchange Trip to China
I heard that there are 16 junior and senior students are going to China next week. They are going to first fly from NY JFK Airport to Beijing, then take a fast train to Shanghai, finally fly from Shanghai back home. Because China is very far from US, therefore they plan to stay in China about two weeks. I heard that they will stay in our sister school, Beijing 101 Middle School. Although they really want to stay in a 5-star hotel, but staying hotel is too expensive. In Beijing, they plan first to tour Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and then take a tour bus or subway to tour the Great Wall. In Shanghai, they are going to do home-stay. They also plan to tour schools and do shopping.
I heard that shopping in China is very inexpensive. You can buy watches, camera, and scarves…… In China, they will not only eat Chinese food, especially dumplings, but also eat Japanese food and American fast food. If they had time, they will go to Southeast of China to do sightseeing. They will be back to NY either Saturday or Sunday. No matter what, I hope there will be one day I will also go to China. Besides Beijing & Shanghai, I also plan to visit Guilin and Hunan. Because I know how to speak a little Chinese, therefore, I want to make many Chinese friends.
T-9 去中国参观旅游
我听说下个星期有十六个高中三年级和四年级的学生/同学 要去中国。他们要先坐飞机从纽约的JFK机场到北京，然后坐快车去上海，最后坐飞机从上海回家。因为中国离美国很远，所以他们打算在中国住/驻两个星期左右。我听说他们会住在我们的姐妹校，北京一零一中学。虽然他们非常想住在五星级宾馆，可是住宾馆太贵了。在北京，他们打算先参观天安门广场和故宫，然后坐观光巴士或者是地铁参观长城。在上海，他们要住家。他们也打算参观学校和购物。
我听说在中国购物很便宜。你可以买手表，相机，和围巾……在中国，他们不但/不仅会吃中国餐，尤其是/特别是饺子，而且要吃日本菜和美国快餐。如果他们有时间的话，他们会去中国的东南观光。他们在星期六或者星期天会回纽约。不管怎么样，我希望有一天我也会去中国。除了去北京和上海以外,我还打算去桂林和湖南。因为我会说一点儿中文，所以，我想交很多中国的朋友。
