UNIT 2 TRAVELLING AROUND
Reading
① Read the editorial below. What is its main idea?
BE A GOOD TOURIST
Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who "love them to death". I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone's life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction(破坏).
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighbourhood in Beijing, China. Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many nore. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible. Remember, whenever you step outside your country's borders, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.

Activity 4
I agree with most of the writer's suggestions. However, I would like to add that too many tourists travel just to enjoy themselves. The best tourists are those who are travelling for some other reason besides just fun——to learn, to help others, or to make a positive
difference to the world.

Suggested Answers
1
1 They are making a lot of noise in a restaurant and disturbing other customers while they are enjoying their meals.
2 They are dropping litter on the beach and therefore disrespecting the place and not caring that someone else will have to tidy up and that it might do damage to the local environment.
3 They are climbing on an ancient statue just so they can take pictures, but doing so is disrespecting the history and culture of the place and they could also cause damage.
2
Tourists may also disturb local people badly and not respect the places they live in. They can annoy people by always trying to take pictures. People can be better tourists by learning about a place before they go there and also by being aware of where they are and thinking about the local people and culture before they act.
Sample Writing
Ugly Tourist or Beautiful Friend?
Many people are "ugly tourists" when they travel abroad. They act badly and leave a poor impression of their home country. Sadly, most people do not realise that they are being ugly tourists. They have no idea how others see them. To avoid this, when going abroad:
Do put other people first. Learn to wait in line and learn to show kindness and be polite. Be concerned about the people around you.
Do learn some of the language and customs of the country you are visiting. This is an important part of showing that you care about the people who live there. While it may not be possible to become fluent in the language, any effort to learn how to greet people will
be appreciated.
Do see how normal people live. Don't just go to famous shopping districts and tourist sights. Visit normal neighbourhoods and shops. Eat street food. Find out where the locals like to go to relax and have fun.
If you can do these things, instead of being an ugly tourist, you may well become a welcomed friend to the people who live there. This is well worth the effort, as both memories and photographs can fade, friendship lasts a lifetime.
