May: We depend on fossil fuel for traveling. The fuel could be running out in the near future. In that case, we won¡¦t be able to travel far.

¡@
¡@    Ken:

Ken: It sounds terrible¡Adoesn¡¦t it?

¡@
¡@ Victor:
 

Victor: Yes¡Abut what could we do? We can not live without cars, buses or

othe transportations.

¡@
¡@    Ken:

¡@

Ken: And the more fossil fuel we consume, the worse the environment would be because the emission from cars contains toxic carbon dioxide to damage our health. 

¡@
¡@  LuLu:

Lulu: Well¡AWe can try to find new energy.

¡@
¡@    May:

May: You can say that again¡I

¡@
¡@    Ken:
¡@

Ken: It sounds so hard that it is almost impossible for us to achieve the great goal to keep the air fresh and unharmful.

¡@
¡@ Victor:

Victor: Say¡Awhy not arouse people to face the problem?

¡@
¡@  LuLu:

Lulu: Many scientists and engineers are finding new energy. .

¡@
¡@    May:
¡@

May: At the same time, we can also try to use public transportations and avoid driving personal cars.

¡@
¡@ Victor:

Victor: Great idea¡I It is easier for us .

¡@
¡@    Ken:

Ken: Hey¡Ahere comes the bus¡I

¡@
¡@    May:

May: I don't have much budget, so we have to arrange a tour lasting fewer days.

¡@
¡@    Ken:

Ken: Me either. So, how should we arrange our schedule?

¡@
¡@  LuLu:
¡@

Lulu: I think we can try to find a travel agency to plan the trip for us. It would be cheaper than we do all by ourselves.

¡@
¡@ Victor:


 

Victor: You are right. Since winter vocation is a peak season and we do not have much budget, it would be cheaper to ask the travel agency to arrange everything for us. It is difficult for free individual traveler to get discount. Besides, to arrange our schedule is also a big deal.

¡@
¡@    May:
¡@

May: So, we decide to let the travel agency handle everything. I think we will have more fun if we have more company.

¡@
¡@    Ken:

Ken: It's a good suggestion! We can ask Angel, Rose, Vivian and Kiki to join us.

¡@
¡@  LuLu:
¡@

Lulu: This plan already makes me excited. I can almost imagine the picture we are in Japan.

¡@
¡@ Victor:

Victor: We should find a travel agency to help us soon.

¡@
¡@    May:

May: Will a travel agency provide tour guides?

¡@
¡@    Ken:
¡@

ken: If they do, we can read books in advance so that we can ask them for the right help.

¡@
¡@  LuLu:

Lulu: Don't just sit here talking; let's go now!

¡@
¡@  LuLu:
¡@

LuLu: I can¡¦t believe that we¡¦re here in Paris!! Remember last month we were just talking about maybe taking a trip together?

¡@
¡@    May:
¡@

May: Yeah, and we are actually here. The famous Hilton Hotel!! I¡¦m sure we¡¦ll have fun!

¡@
¡@    Ken:
¡@

Ken: We can not only have fun! Traveling can broaden our horizon and we learn a lot of things which we cannot learn from textbooks.

¡@
¡@ Victor:
 

Victor: What¡¦s more, making new friends is another advantage we can obtain from traveling. Through friends from lots countries, we can know their culture better!

¡@
¡@  LuLu:

¡@

LuLu:  Right. Traveling can really do us good, and it will always be a good choice when a vacation comes! Okay, let¡¦s go! I can't wait to see the Eiffel Tower. I've heard it's really romantic !

¡@
¡@    May:
¡@

May: It is ! I¡¦ve heard that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is interesting, too. It seems Italy has lots of beautiful old buildings.

¡@
¡@ Victor:
 

Victor: Actually, when I travel, I like to see the natural scenery most. My favorite place is the Grand Canyon.

¡@
¡@    Ken:
¡@

Ken: Oh, I love the special rock formations there. And the sunsets are really beautiful. But Niagara Falls is my favorite.

¡@
¡@  LuLu:

LuLu: Gee, I wonder why Taiwan doesn't have such wonderful sights.

¡@
¡@ Victor:
 

Victor: Of course there are! The sunrise at Jade Mount is great. And the Taroko Gorge is breathtaking. People from all over the world come to see them.

¡@
¡@    May:
¡@

May: Really ? Maybe we should get to know those beautiful places in Taiwan more.

¡@
¡@    Ken:
¡@

Ken: That sounds like we¡¦ll have another wonderful trip when we¡¦re back in Taiwan!
