Part 2&3  A place in your country that you would like to recommend to travelers答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

There's a place in Fujian province called Xiamen – I'm sure you've heard of it. This is where I'd recommend to travelers to China. It's a great place, by the coast, with a fantastic climate and lovely, warm, friendly people, great food, and interesting cultural things to do and see. And, if you’re into Chinese tea, there’s a lot of really good Chinese tea shops that are still family-run, friendly, and interesting. The tourist sights I would recommend are the Gulangyu island of pianos – this is really interesting – it's an island, a small island, just a boat ride away, where there are literally pianos in every house, and a piano museum. It's fantastic and quite unique. Also, the island trip makes a nice little day out, and there are friendly restaurants and eateries on the island too, and great views out to sea. Secondly, I'd go to the see Hakka people's round houses just outside Xiamen in the countryside. They are called the Fujian Hakka Tulou, and they are quite large circular buildings, with a central courtyard and hundreds of living quarters inside. They date back centuries and were a traditional way to live in the days when you had to protect yourself from invaders – these roundhouses look fantastic and are incredibly interesting, and people still live in them today. It's a fascinating and unique aspect of the culture in that area of China. So, yes, these are the main places around Xiamen that I'd recommend – and make sure you go when it's a nice time of a year, not too hot – in summer it gets really hot and humid. I’d go around, or just before, spring to be honest. 

Yes, I believe so. I think that photos are memories stored that we can access in the future and that can remind us of good times, or at least interesting times, and interesting things that we have seen and experienced. Some people take photos of friends and family, and others are more into sights and things like that. Whatever we prefer to take photos of, they are now a permanent record of our experiences in life, and that in itself is a very valuable thing. I’d say it’s important when travelling, most certainly. 

Haha, I've not really thought about it. Yes, and no, I guess. Some people's blogs and journals are likely to be accurate and trustworthy, and other people’s are likely to be perhaps distorted. By distorted, what I mean is that some people might get money from travel agents from hotels and destinations to post great reviews of their places, so that will certainly influence their writing. This would be my biggest concern. I think it's important to read journals and reviews where you’re fairly sure the person hasn't been paid a commission from a hotel or travel company to portray the place really favourably. Avoiding these kind of journals will ensure we get closer to the truth. 

The main things that influence how people feel about a journey are the transport and accommodation. If the transport and hotels are nice and comfortable, and offer smooth customer experiences, then that will have a huge influence on how we feel about a trip or journey somewhere. If the service is poor, or the places are not up to the expected standards, or perceived as good value for money, then we will be disconcerted and likely to have a bad feeling about our trip.
