　　Benjamin: Hi, I'm Benjamin. Nice to meet you here. You look great.

　　Passenger: Thank you. Nice to meet you too. I'm John. Is this your first time to take a long-distance trip on plane.

　　Benjamin: No, this is the second time. But I also feel bad because of the lower pressure and the jet lag.

　　Passenger: Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Take it easy. It will be OK soon. You see, I take this long-hour plane frequently, but the jet lag still makes me uneasy.

　　Benjamin: Oh, that's too bad. Do you get a good knowledge of China?

　　Passenger: Yes, whenever I think about China, I'd see the Tian'an Men Square. China is a very beautiful country. And I've seen many landmarks in China but I like the Great Wall most.

　　Benjamin: All of the Chinese are proud of the Great Wall. And it was built before the Qin dynasty near Shan Haiguan-the First Pass in the World.

　　Passenger: Was it built before the Qin dynasty? I thought it was in the Ming dynasty.

　　Benjamin: No, before the Qin dynasty.

　　Passenger: Oh, yeah. Thought I am an American, I know quite a lot about China and I like Chinese tea very well.

　　Benjamin: Both the green tea and the black tea are good for our health. And I usually refresh myself with a cup of tea.

　　Passenger: Yeah, many of my friends like Chinese tea and whenever I go back to China, I'll take some Dragon-well green tea for them.

　　Benjamin: Do you like the Chinese traditional silk?

　　Passenger: I heard about it, but I don't have any clothes made from silk.

　　Benjamin: Go and pick some stuff. The price can always surprise foreign friends.

　　Passenger: Oh, I'm eager to have a try.
