Welcomespeech

Welcomespeech Good evening ,ladies and gentlemen,welcome to China,welcome to Beijing! Confucius,our great ancient philosopher,once said :what a great joy it is to have friends from afar! So today,with such a great joy,on behalf on the China youth travel service head office,I'd like to extend our warmest welcome to all of u ,and i hold ,during ur short stay in Beijing,u 'll not only satisfied ur eyes and stomach,but also experience the Chinese culture and have a better understanding of ,Chinese people . By the way,before we leave the airport,please make sure u have all ur belongs with u ,especially the passports ,air tickets and most valuables. Now,plz allow me to say a few words about myself.My name is Nicole .Actually,.my Chinese name is Zhangyu,Zhang is the family name ,Yu, is the Given name ,we put our first name before our Given name,which is just the other way around you do.for example,we say smith John ,instead of John smith .So,u can either call me Nicole ,or Yu. My home town is Tianjin,which is also a beautiful city just half a hour away from Beijing.I finished most of my study here,in Beijing,and I really like this city for its long history and lovely people.ok,that's all about myself , I 'm very happy to be with u in the next few days in Beijing,and I'll do my best to make ur trip in Beijing,a pleasant and unforgettable one. Ok,now ,let me introduce our coach manager :Mr Li! Mr Li has been driving for more than 10 years,he is said t be the second best driver in Beijing,But u may wonder:who is the first one?Well,the first one is in the hospital drive the ambulance ! Loll..ok, just for fun ,You know,it,s really hard to drive in Beijing ,because of the large population and traffic jam. U May soon learn that, I'm sure, since this is a group travelling,I'll be very happy to help r guys around,so is Mr Li,our Bus driver.If there is anything that we can do ,u can ask either of us . Since in the next following days,we will use this bus ,so Plz take the trouble and remember the plate number for future convenience......got that? Now is 9:00 pm in Beijing,so u can change ur watch now,In fact,China spans four time zones,but we only use one time,that is Beijing standard time,so it's quite convenience for the people ,especially for the travelers . It will take us about 40 mins to get to the hotel ,so during this time ,i d like t take this opportunity to give u some recommendation about the money exchange and hotel accommodation. Our money is call:Renminbi.which means the people's currency.it is issued by the People's bank of China.the basic unit of Renminbi is Yuan,which sounds the same with the Yuan dynasty. The biggest note of Renminbi is 100 ,besides ,we also have 50 ,20 ,10 ,1 and some small ones.here are some samples,plz pass them around,but i need them back.Now ,the current rate between US dollar and Renminbi is about 6,5% so u can have 650 yuan for 100 dollar. Actually ,this is the selling rate of the Bank of China,since most of the Banks here belong to the government ,so we only have one rate throughout China,which may not the same with what u have at home,so we don't have these questions like :where can i get abetter rate?''But u may get a better rate if u hold the traveller's checks.which means ,f the bank is buying from u ,they will have a bit better rate for u .but not so much ,indeed .U can change ur money at the hotel ,which repreasents the government too. By the way,please remember ,everytime u change the money ,u will be given a receipt,plz keep those receipts,because if u still have some extra Chines money before u leave China,u can change it back by only using those receipts.ok,so now,any questions about the money exchange? so now ,I'd to say something about the hotel accommodation.we r going to stay in the beijing hotel.which is one of the best hotel in Beijing with five stars.This hotel is something like what u have at home,good services and high quality of food and other stuffs.and most of the staffs there speak both Chinese and English,and they serve the Chines traditional food as well as the western food.besides ,u can find virous of drinks at the mini bar.what's more,u can makea long distance directly from ur room and there will be a directory telling u the numbers u need and how to dial.or u can buy a phone card in the hotel .which is much cheaper than using ur mobile.fr thouse who want to send postcards back to home ,u can do it right n the front desk.it usually costs 10 yuan to US and takes about 2 weeks.
