Features: This book consists of nine parts: English ABC, Planning Your Trip, On the Road, Accommodation and Food, Sightseeing and Entertainment, Enjoying Life Abroad, Emergency Situations, Appendix, and a Quick English-Chinese Dictionary. It provides detailed information on English vocabulary, sentences, and travel tips and precautions related to transportation, accommodation, currency exchange, dining, asking for directions, making friends, and entertainment abroad. The book begins with the rules of travel route planning because practical experience tells us that a well-thought-out itinerary is even more important than the trip itself. Today, although many countries in the world have opened their doors to Chinese travelers, passing the visa hurdle remains challenging. To help travelers successfully obtain visas, the book lists questions that visa officers may ask and how to answer them in English. Additionally, the book introduces affordable travel methods in the West, such as the numerous campgrounds in the United States and Europe. These campgrounds are often located in scenic areas and typically offer restrooms and shower facilities. Camping there costs only $5–$10 per night. Therefore, this book combines the functions of English language learning and self-guided travel information.
