May: So, what do you think? Mom.

Daniel: Do you also want to stay in Beijing, visiting cultural relics¹?

Mom: Er, actually, no.

Daniel: So?

Mom: I would suggest we enjoy some natural scenery² in Guilin. Though it would be a long journey there, we can always play cards on the train.

Daniel: Is there any interesting place for us to go?

Mom: Sure, we can go boating³ there and eat at the farm house.

Daniel: And?

Mom: In a word, we can enjoy things that are different from cities. What do you think?

Daniel: Compared Dad's opinion, I prefer mom's plan. But that's not perfect either.

Mom: All right, where do you want to go?

Daniel: If I tell you, you promise me that you won't laugh it off.

Mom: I won't, go ahead!
