      Hello, boys and girls, please listen to me carefully. There's something important for you to remember.
It's about our geography trip. First, on Friday, we'll meet at the school gate because that's where the bus
will be. We'll start out at seven thirty, but I want you to be there at a quarter past seven, so we'll have
enough time to put the luggage on the bus. 　
      Talking of luggage, don't bring too much-we'll only be away for two nights! Just take a small bag.
That should be enough. 　
      For the project work itself, you'll need to take photos, so you can take cameras with you. You also
need a notebook, so you can write down what you find. 　
      Now we've booked into the Knellsmere Hotel, that's K-N-E-double L-S-M-E-R-E and, by the way,
they have a public phone if you want to ring your parents and don't have a mobile phone. When we stay
in the hotel, we should get back to the hotel before 9:00 p.m., so after dinner you'd better not go far away
from the hotel. In the hotel there's a gym and I know lots of you will enjoy using that. It's free for you.
Well, I wish all of you can have a wonderful time.

     Around the world, people have different ideas about what good manners are.
     When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world, it's important to know the right and wrong
 things to do. (2)For example, in China it's OK to make a lot of noise in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant
  isn't noisy and lively, you may think there's something wrong with it. However, in many Western
