re are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you39。ve seen the English letters WC in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English?In fact, foreigners from English﹣speaking countries seldom use the letters. Workers in our city are changing WC signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps. WC, or water closet, is old﹣fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me. says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will bee Gents/Men and Ladies/Women. I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs, she says, I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me My hometown is Guizhou Province, I know he or she should say My hometown is in Guizhou Province. Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The mon mistakes that Nancy picked up include Not Entry, which should be No Entry, Direction of Airport should be changed to To the Airport. And it is Room Rate, not Room Price. And remember to Keep off the Grass rather than Care of the Green. The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.

Schultz is part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road. Speaking of his journey, he says, I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child, but now I finally have a chance to experience it. The twomonth bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia, and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country39。s western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them. Nearly half of the 13,000kilometer trip will be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only from Germanspeaking countries, have been joining us, says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours. Almost 26 million foreigners traveled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi39。an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Schultz says, Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts(吸引)me more. As Shi Xiang, head of the China Tours, says, Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors, the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China, especially the northwestern part of the country.(China Daily)(1)How will the group of around 50 Germans take the tour? A.By car.B.By train.C.By bus.1
