This episode describes the journey from the airport to the hotel, and gives you the vocabulary you may need for taking the underground. 
Please also use this for pronunciation.

Now that I’ve gone through customs and found my way out, I have to find transport. I go past the welcoming committee of people thronging to greet their loved ones, and look for signs that show bus, car, or train. 

I decide to take the train or underground railway. It’s called the Metro, the Underground, or the Tube in most countries. I have to ask about the best ticket for my journeys around the city, so I go to the ticket counter to get help. Once I know what I want, I can just use my debit or credit card and go to the self-service kiosk. 

I buy my ticket, and pass through the ticket barriers to go down the escalators to the floors below. I keep reading the boards to see if I’m going in the right direction.  It’s a long walk, and I sometimes have to carry my suitcase down the stairs. I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t just have taken a taxi. 

Some people offer to help, and, because it’s so heavy and no one could just run away with my luggage, I agree gratefully. 

The Tube is crowded, but I manage to find a seat. I listen carefully for my stop, and hop onto the platform. 

Once I’m out of the Tube station, I see my hotel across the road, so I go through the entranceway into the lobby. At least this hotel doesn’t have revolving doors, because it’s really awkward to manage that when you have baggage. 

I go straight across the lobby to the clerk at the reception desk. I tell them I have booked a room and tell them my name. They ask me for my passport or other identity document. I give it to them. I go to my room and the valet brings my luggage. I give him or her a tip.

I unpack my bag into the cupboards and drawers. I take a shower with the freshly laid out towels. I am now ready for my exploration in the town.

 5月20日 星期五 晴
   今天中午女儿回家，带回了一张练习（lian4xi2, exericise），因为现在一年级(yi1nian2ji2, grade 1)和二年级的小朋友是不可以有考试(kao3shi4,exam)的，练习就是知道孩子学习情况(qing2kuang4, progress)的最重要的方式(fang1shi4,method)了。
   我一看，"妈呀"(ma1ya, byword, expressing surpise)，数学老师在练习的左边写了一“好”字！再一看计算(ji4suan4,calculation question)居然(ju1ran2,unexpectedly)都没有错！后面的一些题目(ti2 mu4,exam questions)虽然还是错误(cuo4wu4,mistake)不少，但是看得出来，是小朋友看不懂题目才写不出来！老母亲和老父亲欣慰(xin1wei4, be gratified at)得快哭了出来。数学老师应该和我们一样的感受(gan3shou4,feeling)，所以才会在练习上写了个激动(ji1dong4,exciting)的“好”字！
   我的女儿挺(ting3,quite)聪明的，就是不喜欢在学校里，在课堂里一板一眼(yi4ban3yi4yan3,Idiom,following a set pattern in an action)的学习，特别(te4bie, experically)是回家还有作业，不能再像幼儿园一样，整天都是玩耍(wan3shuai3, equals to play)。所以她在写作业的时候非常的困难(kun4 nan4,difficult)，非常的慢，有时候连一个字都不愿意写。于是，每天她做作业的时间，就是我和她爸最痛苦（tong4ku3,painful）的时间。批评(pi1ping2, criticize)她，她就觉得自己笨，没有自信(zi4xin4, confident)，不批评她，作业根本没法做完，怎么做都不行。
   实在没有办法了，我们就找了老师来帮忙，真的非常感谢她的语文老师和数学老师，给了她很多心理(xin1li3,psychology)上的支持(zhi1chi2, support)，鼓励(gu3li4, encourage)她，和她聊天，和她做朋友，也教我们怎么和孩子沟通(gou1tong1, to communicate)。当然，虽然有了帮手，但是，每天作业的时间还是很难，很累。但是，这个过程(guo4 cheng2,process)，我们一起走过来了。孩子也慢慢地走过来了。
   我们和孩子一起来想办法完成作业，一起和她身体里的小怪兽(guai4shou4, monster)比赛(bi3sai4, to compete)，一起看着她坐在作业前，5分钟，10分钟，15分钟，认识的汉字越来越多，写的汉字越来越好看，和数字做朋友，每一天都在进步。
   今天这张练习，如果是其他的孩子做的，可能就是一份很普通的练习，甚至(shen4zhi4,even)不能说做得很好。但是，对于我们父母来说，对于老师来说，真的是一份非常珍贵（zhen1gui4,valuable）的练习，是我们父母，老师们、和孩子，一起合作(he2zuo4, to cooperate)完成的练习。我们真的都非常棒！
