2. How to Be a Civilized Tourist We all like traveling around China. How to be a civilized文明的 tourist? Here are my opinions. First, I think we should be polite to the local people and make a good impression on them. Second, we shouldn’t litter or spit or shout in public places. When we visit some buildings, we shouldn’t draw on the wall. When we see the sign “No photos!”, we shouldn’t take photos there. Everyone can be a civilized tourist.

3. How to Make Shenzhen More Attracting We have always been proud of our city Shenzhen. But how to make Shenzhen more attracting? Here are my ideas. First, plant more trees and flowers. Second, we should try to reduce polution. Then we can make the environment. Third, build more undergrounds and improve the tranportation. The last but not the least(最后,但不是最不重要), everyone in Shenzhen should be friendly and helpful to our visitors. If we do these, more and more tourists will come to Shenzhen and like it.
