These days, more and more people like to take a trip to different places by themselves. However, during the trip, they may meet some problems. Some get lost in other countries. And some lose their wallets or bank cards in busy places.

Remember the following special Chinese official (官方的) phone numbers so that you can get help or help others in need when necessary during this National Day and other holidays.

China is becoming one of the most popular countries for a holiday. More and more people are visiting China. Why not join us for a seven-day holiday? I am sure you can have a good time traveling in China. We will leave on April 10th from London. Don’t forget to take your camera.

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who travelled to places; you can go and see a colour film about them; or you can read travel books.

It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) idea of travels which the writer has got himself. Those books can be useful if   the writers share their travelling experience with others. The second kind are those books which give objective (客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some places or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the places in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting. But their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.

Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication (出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for your travel.
