Welcome Speech by the Local Guide 欢迎词（farewell speech: 欢送词） Hello, everybody, I hope you can all hear me. My name is Mary. I am one of your three local guides（地陪）. We’ll accompany（陪同） you on a conducted(陪同) tour round the city tomorrow morning. The other guides are Peter and Tracy. The tour starts at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning and lasts（持续） about two hours. We’ll meet outside the hotel entrance. We will be in three groups, so that it may be easier for you to hear what we say. I suggest you bring a raincoat or an umbrella, as the weather is not too good. And wear stout（结实的） walking shoes if you can. Don’t forget your camera, as there will be lots of opportunities to take pictures. We will have a look at the Shanghai Grand Theatre, walk through the Pedestrian Mall（步行商业街） on Nanjing Road and visit the fruit and vegetable market. The tour takes us past the heroes’ memorial（纪念碑） and along the river. The tour will end at the Clear Water tearoom（清水茶室） in the main square. There you’ll be able to enjoy our famous cake. Tracy is the history expert（专家）. So, if you’re interested in history, I suggest you ask to join her group. A word of advice: you must not drink any tap water in the hotel, because un-boiled tap water might make you ill. If anyone would like a plan（地图） of the city that is showing the route that we will be following, I’ll be happy to give you one. If you are interested in reading more about our city and all its wonderful buildings, there is a guide(指南) for sale at the reception desk（酒店前台：front desk）. It costs RMB15 Yuan. I hope you will enjoy the tour. See you in the morning, 10 o’clock. Try not to be late! Duty one: Answer the following questions: What does “a conducted tour” mean? When will the tour end?
