14. Dear uncle, We’ve decided to go to Dalian by train after comparing different means of transport. Dalian is a port city and it is convenient to get there by ferry, but we will have to go to Shanghai first. The problem is, during the peak travel

15. season the slow ferries are not very punctual, and there is no guarantee that we can get the particular ferry we want. Besides, we can’t go there by air because Mum is afraid of flying and the air tickets would be very expensive. The travel allowance for this trip is only 2,200 yuan. Concerning the above matters,

16. we decided to take trains and meet you in Beijing. First, my parents and I will take Train 1426 that leaves for Beijing at 23.08 on the 30th, and we will arrive at 14.34 on May 1st. Then we’ll meet you and takeT225 to Dalian. The departure time is 18.00. We’ll get to Dalian at 6.00 on May 2nd. The ticket for 1426 is

17. 216 yuan and for T225 257 yuan for one person. So we will spend 2,190 yuan on the train tickets altogether. We’ll meet at the Beijing Train Station. Remember the departure time and don’t be late for the train. Best wishes,
