[01:42.11]Have you ever been to France?

[02:01.05]B: No, this is the first time I have been abroad.

[02:05.00]A: Really? You will find it somewhat 2 difficult to get into the ways of the French.

[02:11.37]They say the English and German find it easy.

[02:14.79]B: But I suppose it is not so easy for the Chinese.

[03:03.95]Wang: Oh, in that case you'll need to take clothes for every season.

[03:09.99]But don' t take too many clothes with you. You can buy them quite cheap in England.

[03:14.82]Li: What kind of gifts should I bring along?.

[03:18.95]Wang: Anything that is Chinese. But since your luggage allowance 3 is only 20 kilos,

[03:25.37]you' d better buy things that don' t weigh too much.

[03:32.85]Things like silk scarves and paper-cuts are light, and they make lovely presents.

[03:34.88]Li: These have really been very useful, thanks.

[03:39.72]Wang: It's been a pleasure, good-bye.
