The train was full of people, and I had to stand for over three hours! Betty: Bad luck. Why is travel so difficult in winter? Lingling: Well, it's the busiest season in China because of the Spring Festival. Where's Tony? Daming: He went to stay with his family in the UK. He's flying back today. But the flight is late. Betty: Where did you go, Daming? Daming: We flew direct to Hong Kong — and the plane left a bit late too! But the pilot succeeded in landing on time. Then we took a boat to Lantau Island and went to Disneyland. It was great fun! Lingling: How about you, Betty? Betty: We had quite a good time in Beijing. We toured the city by bus and by taxi. Last weekend, we took a tour by coach to the Summer Palace and went for a long walk around the lake. Lingling: That sounds great! But now, we'd better get back to work. We're going to have a big exam at the end of the term. Betty: There's nothing to worry about as long as you work hard. Daming: And after the exam, there's the school-leavers' party. We're all looking forward to it! Betty: Exactly! We'll have a great time! Not bad! It was great fun! How about you? We'd better get back to work. We'll have a great time!
