USEFUL WORDS AND PHRASES
11 November is 'Singles' Day' in Shanghai, and every year a dating
event takes place where all the single men and women of the city
have the chance to meet a partner. Last year, it was so popular that
the organizers had to close online registration because there were
no more places.
Between 10,000 and 40,000 people attend the event every year.
It's held in a district of Shanghai called Thames Town. At least 50
dating agencies take part. They set up stands in the town hall with
billboards displaying cards with the height, birth date, education, and
annual income of thousands of clients. People who did not manage
to register for the event organize their own unofficial dating system
by writing their names and phone numbers on bits of paper and
attaching them t o the fence outside the town hall.
More people take part in 'Singles' Day' every year because of the
growing number of single adults in Shanghai. In the centre of the city,
more than 24% of people over the age of 15 are unmarried.

'Great location and service'
Located in the heart of the city, the Park Central New York is in easy
walking distance of Carnegie Hall, Broadway and the Museum of
Modern Art (MOMA). Central Park is only three blocks away and
Fifth Avenue, with its international boutiques and huge department
stores, is only a ten-minute walk from the hotel. For guests who
want to travel further away, there are seven subway lines located
within three blocks of the hotel.
The Park Central New York offers great service, great comfort and
great value. The hotel's bistro, 'Cityhouse', provides the perfect
setting for dinner before a concert or a Broadway show in the
evening. Guests can enjoy the reasonably priced set menu while
watching the world go by on Seventh Avenue through the bistro's
oversized windows. There's also a bar in the lobby where guests can
enjoy a cocktail after the show.
Because of its central location, the Park Central New York is the
ideal hotel for tourists visiting the city for the first time. Our multilingual staff on the front desk are always happy to provide tour
assistance and answer any questions guests may have.

Ten minutes later, it began to rain. Soon, Liz found it hard

on the road, so she drove more slowly. Although Liz was an
experienced driver, she felt afraid.

An hour later, fire f i g h t e r s cut Liz out of the car. She
went to hospital, but the doctors sent her home because
she didn't have any serious injuries. Her head was fine and
she only had a few cuts and bruises. Her son went to collect
the shopping f r o m the car and gave the loaf of bread to his
mum. Now, she is going to keep it as a souvenir.
H I One day last November, Liz Douglas decided to go
shopping in Glasgow. She drove to the supermarket in the
city centre and spent the morning doing her weekly shop.
She paid f o r her shopping, went back to the car park, and
put the shopping bags on the back seat of the car. Then
she started to drive home.
I I However, Liz was lucky. When she braked, a loaf of bread
flew out of one of the shopping bags. The car t u r n e d over,
and the loaf of bread landed between Liz's head and the
roof of the car. It stopped her head from hitting the car roof.

telegraph pole in f r o n t of her and braked. She closed her
eyes and hoped that the airbags in the car would inflate.

The world's busiest a i r p o r t today is in the USA. Nearly
54 million passengers pass t h r o u g h Atlanta International
Airport every year. However, by the end of the next
decade there's going t o be a new airport even bigger and
busier than Atlanta. The new airport is going to be in the
capital of China: Beijing.
Beijing already has t w o airports. The first is Beijing Capital,
where an extra terminal was built for the 2008 Olympic
Games. The second is Nanyuan Airport, which is mainly
used by military planes .Just over 73 million passengers
passed t h r o u g h Beijing Capital Airport last year, making it
the second busiest after Atlanta. But the current airport
is not big enough f o r all the Chinese passengers w h o want
to travel by plane. This is why the government is going to
build a new one.
The new a i r p o r t is going to be in the suburb of Daxing,
in the south of t h e city. Daxing is about an hour's drive
f r o m the city centre. The government is going t o extend
Beijing's M e t r o so t h a t passengers can reach it more easily.
There are also plans for a high-speed train line. The airport
is going t o have eight runways for commercial flights,
and a ninth runway for military use. This is going t o make it
the biggest and the busiest a i r p o r t in the world.

Tour of the Magic Triangle: Prague - Vienna - Budapest
Visit these three beautiful capital cities and discover their historic monuments
and lively atmosphere. Enjoy three wonderful cultural performances and
return with unforgettable memories.
P r a g i
The tour starts in Prague, capital of the
Czech Republic. A free bus takes you from
the airport to your hotel, where you spend
three nights. The price includes a tour of the
city, a cruise on the Vltava River, a visit to a
spa resort, and a performance at the Laterna
Magika theatre. From Prague you travel first
class by train to your next destination: Vienna.
Vienna
The Austrian capital has many spectacular monuments, which
you can visit with the free 72-hour travel card which you receive
when you arrive in Vienna. The price also includes a tour of the
city, Viennese coffee and cakes at the famous Hotel Sacher, and
a performance at the opera. After your three nights in Vienna
you travel first class by train to your final destination: Budapest.
Budapest O
You spend your last three nights in Budapest, the capital city of
Hungary, where there are plenty of places to explore. The city is
divided into two parts: the old historic city of Buda on the hill, and
the commercial city of Pest on the other side of the River Danube.
The price includes a tour of the city with a visit to the Parliament
building, a typical Hungarian dinner, a performance of classical
music, and the return journey from your hotel to the airport.
At only €1599, this is an opportunity you cannot afford t o miss!

NY
New York City has over 20,000 restaurants
serving all kinds of f o o d . However, eating out in
the Big Apple can be very expensive. Here are some
tips on how to save money during your stay.
Early Bird Menus
These are meals served in some New York restaurants
between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., when they would normally
be empty. If you don't mind having dinner early, you
can enjoy a three-course meal for between $13 and $25
Cucina d i Pesce (87 E.4th St) serves great Italian food on its
$12.95 Early Bird menu. If you prefer something Spanish, you
can t r y the $16.99 Early Bird menu at La Paella (214 E.9th St).

These are similar to Early Bird Menus,
but they are served in the Theatre
District. Most of the restaurants
here offer a set menu at a fixed price
ranging from $30 to $45. The offer
s only available before the show,
and it starts at 5 p.m.
Four-Star Restaurants
These are all very expensive at dinnertime, so why not have
lunch there instead? That way you can
get dinner guality food at lunchtime

serves fantastic Scandinavian food on
a great lunch menu and Jean Georges
(1 Central Park West) offers an excellent
two-course lunch for only $28.
