I plan to be a valuntary guide for foreign visitors Hi ,friends, long time no see. I am back from the practical training now . I have learnt a lot from it ,but, to my disappointed, I didn’t like the word at all, Because I had to do the same thing day after day in that period . At the same time ,the work is easy and dull, which rather let me down. In a word ,it is over now, so I am happy. In the past diary entries, I mentioned that I want to enhance my oral English, and I have a good idea now. you might have heard of the terra cotta warriors ,which is located in SHAANXI, where I lived,but It is a bit far away from my school .however, The Shaanxi History museum and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are just around my school. Both of them are very famous at home and abroad, attracting millions of visitors every year. What is more, many of them are foreigners, though I don’t know which kind of language they speak. What I am planning to do sounds a little bit crazy. I will apply to be a volunteer serving for foreign visitors in the two sites mentioned above. Maybe there will be no uniforms for me ,because there have not been any such kind of volunteers before. It is more difficult for me that my oral English is not enough to cope with unexpected situations. Of course ,I will try my best to recite many English guide books in advance. If you were a visitor in XI'AN ,and a young Chinese guy come up to you, and he said he could be a voluntary guide for you. Are you willing to accept it? What would you think of it ? I hope you to tell me ,and if everything goes as planned, I will be a volunteer serving for foreign visitors in the summer vacation. My friends ,give me some suggestions or your opinions!

I plan to be a voluntary guide for foreign visitors

Hi friends, long time no see. I am back from the practical training now . I have learned a lot from it , but to my disappointment, I didn’t like the work at all because I had to do the same thing day after day in that period . At the same time, the work was easy and dull, which rather let me down. In a word, To be brief, it is over now, so I am happy.
In the past diary entries, I mentioned that I want to enhance improve my oral English, and I have a good idea now on how to accomplish this goal. You might have heard of the terra cotta warriors which are located in Shaanxi where I used to live but is a bit far away from my school. However, the Shaanxi History Museum and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are just around my school. Both of them are very famous at home and abroad, attracting millions of visitors every year. What's more, many of them are foreigners, although I don’t know what kind of language they might speak.
What I am planning to do sounds a little bit crazy. I will apply to be a volunteer so that I can guide foreign visitors at the two sites I mentioned above. Maybe there will be no uniform for me, because there have not been these kinds of volunteers before. It is more difficult for me since my oral English is not enough to cope with unexpected situations. Of course , I will try my best to recite many English guide books in advance.
If you were a visitor in Xi'an and a young Chinese guy came up to you and he said he could guide you around for free, would you accept the offer? What would you think of it? I hope you can tell me and if everything goes as planned, I will be a volunteer guiding foreign visitors during the summer vacation. My friends, give me some suggestions or your opinions!

Note:  You can use the phrase, "In a word" if you describe something in a single word.  Example:  The movie, in a word, was awful.

Welcome back from your practical training! Volunteering to become a tour guide sounds like an excellent idea. Good luck!

When I read the comment you have written, I feel really excited. I am so appreciate of you .do you know that you have given me the courage and confidence to try realizing my idea when I am hesitating. Do you know what I need most is some foreigners’ views of my idea. If all the friends reckon that the action is ridiculous and nonsensical ,I will quit .Last but not least, I am very happy with that you said “You certainly know English much better than any of the guides we had!!”,do you really think so? Haha.

I was in XI'AN, SHAANXI and at the Wild Goose Pagoda during 2008. My son and I would LOVED to have had someone to speak English with, if for nothing more than meeting and enjoying the company of Chinese people -- whom we dearly loved. I think you will find most foreigners speak some English -- at least that has been my impression when traveling abroad. However, I must stress that I stayed close to large cities. Not because I wanted to! But because it is extremely difficult for an American to get travel visas outside the major cities. For example, even though there we were in China for over 6 weeks, we were finally not allowed into Tibet, which we very much wanted to see. Also, we found that unless you were a native, scheduling your own train tickets, etc. took considerable time. There are many travel sites where people intending to travel to China ask questions and try to plan their trips. You might want to help them with some of their questions, especially if they plan to be in your vicinity. You certainly know English much better than any of the guides we had!!
