“五一”黄金周，与家人的长途旅行曾经被不少人视为最佳选择。你瞧，Tony“五一”期间的一次北京之旅，现在回想起来还是兴奋不已。
Daisy: What was your favorite May Golden Week?
Tony: Oh that’s easy. It was the year I went on a tour of Beijing with my cousins.
Daisy: Awesome! Were you part of a tour group?
Tony: Well, we were considering that, but my cousin is a really experienced traveler, so he planned everything out and acted as our tour guide.
Daisy: Cool. How many of you were there?
Tony: Four of us; me and three cousins. Two boys and two girls.
Daisy: ①I bet that was amazing. What places did you see?
Tony: We were really organized beforehand. We all sat down and researched online which places we wanted to see and even bought travel books and maps.
Daisy: Wow, ②you went all out!
Tony: Well, ③we wanted to make the most of it. My cousin wrote up lists of all the costs and we booked tickets and hotels as early as possible.
Daisy: That’s right; ④you want to get in early before everything is sold out. How did you get there?
Tony: We took the overnight train.
Daisy: That was a good idea. I think airfares at that time of year would have been expensive.
Tony: Yes, they were. But the train wasn’t any problem at all, once ⑤we got on board we all slept most of the trip.
Daisy: Yeah, I get the train when I travel to my hometown. Sometimes it gets pretty crowded, but if you are lucky you can have a nice, smooth journey. So, what places did you visit?
Tony: Well, first on our list was the Forbidden Palace. It was absolutely beautiful and so much bigger than I expected.
Daisy: I bet you took lots of photos.
Tony: We sure did. The next day we went to the Great Wall.
Daisy: Of course, no trip to Beijing is complete without going there.
Tony: That’s right. It was my highlight of the trip. We walked for a few hours along the wall. It was quite crowded, but I was so excited to be there I really didn’t care.
Daisy: I hope you had a day to rest after that.
Tony: Yes, we did actually. The next day ⑥we just took it easy and ⑦hung out in the hotel. We were exhausted.
Daisy: Did you get to see Tian’anmen?
Tony: Yeah. That last couple of days we saw a few other temples and the Ming Tombs and Tian’anmen Square. Of course, ⑧the girls made sure we did some shopping too.
Daisy: ⑨Sounds like you had a full-on schedule!
Tony: It was very busy, but it was well worth it.
戴西：你最喜欢哪年的“五一”黄金周？
托尼：哦，很简单。就是和我的堂兄妹们去北京旅游的那一年。
戴西：太棒了！你们是跟随旅游团吗？
托尼：嗯，我们也有那样考虑过，但我的堂兄是一个非常有经验的旅行者，所以他当我们的导游，计划好了所有的事情。
戴西：真好。你们多少人一起去？
托尼：四个，我和三个堂兄妹。两个男孩两个女孩。
戴西：我想那肯定很好玩。你们游览了哪些地方？
托尼：我们都提前安排好了。我们都坐下来上网查阅了想去的地方，甚至买好了旅游书和地图。
戴西：哇，你们真是很用心！
托尼：是的，我们想充分利用这次机会。我的堂兄写下了所有费用清单，我们尽早地预订了门票和酒店。
戴西：没错，你们就能在这些卖完之前提早搞定了。你们是怎么到那儿的？
托尼：我们坐了晚上的火车。
戴西：好主意。我想那个时候的机票很贵。
托尼：不错，正是。但火车就不会了。我们上车后大部分时间都在睡觉。
戴西：是的，我回家的时候就是坐火车。有时火车上会很挤，但只要你运气好，你就会有一个美好而舒服的旅程。那么，你们都去了哪些地方？
托尼：嗯，在我们的计划清单上故宫是第一站。它真的很漂亮，而且比我想象的要大很多。
戴西：我想你拍了不少照片吧。
托尼：那肯定。第二天我们去了长城。
戴西：当然，到北京旅游的人都会去长城的。
托尼：没错。它是我这次旅行的亮点。我们沿着长城走了好几个小时。那里人相当多，但因为我到那儿太兴奋了，所以一点也不在意。
戴西：我希望你能有一天的休息时间。
托尼：去了，是这样。接下来那天我们只是放松一下，在酒店里逗留了一天。我们都筋疲力尽了。
戴西：你去天安门了吗？
托尼：是的。最后几天我们去参观了一些寺庙、明十三陵和天安门广场。当然，和女孩们一起少不了会逛逛街。
戴西：看来你们的行程安排得满满的！
托尼：非常紧凑，但很值得。
