Dialogue 1 ON arriving

(L: Li Ming S: Mr. Smith H: Mrs. Hunt) L:Is everyone here? H:Yes. S: When does the plane take off? L:At ten thirty. There’s still one hour to go. H:Mr. Li, during our trip in the past month or so, you’ve shown your concern for us in every respect. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude. L:It’s very nice of you to say so. H:I’ver had a very enjoyable stay in China. I’ve been to many tourist attractions and places of historical interest. What’s more, I’ve picked up some Chinese from Mr. Li. S: This trip to China has been very impressive for me. L:I’m so happy that you’ve had a good time. H:Thanks to the trip, I’ve made acquaintances with so many Chinese friends. S: Before I came here, I only had an understanding of china from books and papers, television and films. Now I’ve seen China with my own eyes. L:It’s more important to learn from real life. H:As a Chinese saying goes, “Seeing is believing”. This trip has been a real eye-opener to me! S: It’s a pity we haven’t got enough time for many other places. L:Come again to China. You’re always welcome! H:I certainly shall. Thank you. L:Then, I’ll be pleased to be a guide again for you and the rest of the group. H:Wonderful. I hope we’ll keep in touch. S: So doI.

Dialogue 2 Meeting the guests at the airport

A Farewell speech Ladies and gentlemen, The time has come for you to leave for Guangzhou, the final leg of your visit to China. It’s a pity that you cannot stay in

Shandong for any longer. Allow me, then , to take this opportunity to say something by way of a farewell. First of all, I wish to thank you for the cooperation and support you have given us in the past two and a half days. You have

kept good time on all occasions, which made things a lot easier for Ms. Lin and me. You have been very attentive when we had something to tell you. Also, you have been kind enough to offer us suggestions on how to be better tour guides. I’d like to add that you are the best group we’ve ever been with.

Incidentally, Ms. Lin is not able to be with us today because her father is seriously ill and she has to be with him in the hospital. But she does want me to express her thanks for your kindness.

Two days ago, we met as strangers; today, we bid farewell to each other as friends. A Chinese saying goes,” A good friend from afar brings a distant land closer.” I hope you’ll take back happy memories of your trip to China, including your two-and-a-half day visit to Shandong.

We are living in a world of diversity of cultures and languages. Cultural exchanges and mutual understanding are essential to a better world, a world of peace and love. You have been visiting this country and you have been talking to her people, which will surely bring about better understanding and closer relations between our two countries and two peoples.

As you have probable observed, Shandong is developing very quickly. When and if you come back in the future, the city may have changed beyond recognition. Meanwhile, I will continue my humble job as a tour guide. I hope to see you again in the future and be your guide.

Please enjoy your flight to Guangzhou. Once again, thank you for your cooperation and support. Bon voyage!
