2007年Interview(4/5)-英语听力

[00:00.49]Excuse me, what is RTW? [00:02.68]Round the world. [00:04.36]For example, if you are going to Australia from the USA, you could go out via Singapore and come back via North America. [00:14.65]And another way to save money is to see if a ticket to a destination beyond is cheaper. [00:21.50]For example, a ticket from Amsterdam, from London to New York may be cheaper than one straight from London to New York. [00:30.67]That is very useful information. [00:32.53]And another mistake is to go away for too long. [00:35.82]Most people's efficiency and energy start to fall off after two weeks away. [00:42.26]So my advice is, keep your trips short, [00:45.67]only go for two weeks and never for longer than three. [00:51.08]Another point is don't expect everything to go according to plan. [00:57.11]You need to learn to expect the unexpected. [01:00.76]There may be a typhoon in summer, [01:03.37]or your taxi may break down on the way to the airport. [01:07.64]In other words, don't be optimistic about plans [01:11.15]and don't schedule important meetings too closely together. [01:15.60]You need to allow time for delays and breakdowns.
