懂你英语 Level3 Unit2 Part2 Listening - Paul's Trip Plan 1

In six weeks, Paul is going on a trip. 

He is going to Japan and China. 

There are a couple of reasons for the trip. 

One reason is for business. 

He’s thinking about starting restaurants in both countries. 

The other reason is for pleasure. 

He enjoys traveling, and he’d like to visit some friends. 

---

Yesterday he went online and made airline reservations. 

There were plenty of seats on the plane, so it was easy. 

He also got a good discount. 

Unfortunately, he needs a new passport. 

His old passport is expiring next week. 

This is something he didn’t expect. 

Getting a new passport will take at least a week. 

He needs to apply for one right away.

---

Paul also needs a visa to enter China. 

The last time he went to china was 3 years ago. 

Getting a visa may also take a week or even two. 

So he doesn’t have much time. 

He needs to hurry. 

He can’t get the visa until he gets his new passport. 

He'll have to go to the Chinese consulate in Toronto. 

Hopefully there won’t be any delays.
