Tips for a trip to San Francisco |
||
|
Hi, Li Ming, I'm glad that you are coming to San Francisco next month. But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave. First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that you're prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold. Second. many of the city only accept prepaid（预付款的）calling cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport. Third, it's not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially is summer. You'd better book your room before you come. One more thing. San Francisco is a great walking city but there are hills！Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if you're planning to go around on foot. Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco year round. Use the Internet to get the latest information about the activities at the time of your visit. Wish you a pleasant trip. |

On April 6, the 19-year-old boy was the most popular on the online reality show Idol Producer(《偶像练习生》). Cai and another eight young men who were chosen from 100 young people will form a band called Nine Percent. To many people, Cai is lucky to be able to start his dream at such a young age. But he had to face many challenges. Cai has enjoyed singing and dancing since he was quite young. When he was in primary school, Cai was chosen to form TFboys. At 13, Cai started to appear on shows, as well as on TV and in movies. However, as his career was beginning, Cai's parents sent him to the United States to study music. When Cai came back to China four years later, he started his dream by appearing on another reality show called Super Idol. He was a winner on the show and went on to become a member of a group called SWIN. But last year, Cai decided to end his contract(合约) with the group, claiming he had been treated unfairly. He became involved in a long-lasting lawsuit(官司). Although he faces many difficulties, Cai remains positive. "A man has to experience more before he becomes really powerful," he said. He sees his win at Idol Producer as a new beginning. "I'll try to forget the ups and downs of the past," he said. "This is where my dream really starts. " |
