A: Hi, Linda! Come in, please.

B: Hi, Sam! What are you doing?

A: I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} some information about Sydney on the Internet. I'm going to Sydney for my holiday.

B: Aren't you lucky? Have you ever been to Sydney before?

A: No, but my father has been there twice. He told me there are many {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of interest there.

B: When are you leaving?

A: I'm {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at 9:00 am on Friday, October 5.

B: Are you going there by plane?

A: Yes, of course.

B: Have you ever {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in a plane?

A: No, never.

B: You must be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} when you fly in a plane for the first time.

A: Really, I can't wait for it.

Henry: Hi, Emily. The May Day holiday is coming. What's your plan for it?

Emily: Well, let's have a trip together, OK?

Henry: Good idea! Where shall we go?

Emily: What about going to Qingdao{#blank#}1{#/blank#}?

Henry: I'm afraid that's not a good idea. Qingdao is not suitable for travelling at this time of year.

Emily: I see. Then how about Beijing? There are many{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Henry: But I{#blank#}3{#/blank#} there a few times.

Emily: Then what's your idea?

Henry: I hear Jiuzhaigou is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the public recently. And it's much more beautiful than before.

Emily: Yeah. It's really a place of nature. And our government spends much money rebuilding it.

It's well worth {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

Henry: OK. Turn on the computer and find more information about it.

A: You must be really {#blank#}1{#/blank#} about leaving for America tomorrow, Li Ping!

B: Yeah. But I'm a bit nervous.

A: Nervous about what?

B: I don't know many of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and manners in the US. Could you give me a hand?

A: Sure.

B: What {#blank#}3{#/blank#} do they have in America?

A: Well, it's important to be on time when you're invited for dinner. It's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to arrive late. Americans expect their guests to be on time.

B: Then how long may I stay there?

A: After the meal, don't leave at once. Or you seem to have come only for the meal. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of things, it's time to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the evening.
