good service. Who do you tip? And how much? Below are some tips (提示) for travelers in the US.
1. Taxi drivers: $2 to $3; you give more if he helps you with your bags.
2. Porters (搬运工): A standard tip (标准的小费) for porters is $1 each bag; more if your suitcases are
very heavy.
3. Hotel bellboy (青年侍者): Again, $1 for each bag. Tip him when he shows you to your room.
4. Doorman (看门人): A $1 tip for calling a taxi. However, you may tip more for special service, such
as shielding (挡住) you with an umbrella in the rain. You don"t have to give the doorman anything just
for opening the door or greeting you.
5. Hotel maid (女佣): If you stay for more than one night, $1 each night is standard.
6. Waiters and waitresses: 15-20% of your pre-tax (税前的) bill. In restaurants and bars in the US and
Canada, 15% is the standard tip.
7. Tour guides (导游): If a tip is not included in your bill, tip $1 for half-day tour, $2 for a one-day tour,
and anywhere from $5 to $10 for a week-long tour.
Now, it"s sad to say that people have to give tips, even though the service is not good at all. So if you go
to the US, remember to carry a lot of change (零钱) for tips.
1. If a taxi driver helps you with your bag, you should pay for $3 tips.
2. Tip the hotel bellboy dollars if you have 3 bags to carry and you do not need him to show you
to your room.
3. If a doorman the door or you, you needn"t give the doorman anything.
4. You should give at least dollars to the tour guide if you want a week-long tour.
5. You should give dollars to a tour guide if you need a one-day tour.

| We often talk about the weather. If we want to know about the weather, we can turn on the radio and listen to the weather report. We can also turn on the TV and watch the Weather Show. We can just read the newspaper, then we can get the weather. Sometimes we can ask other people in two different ways, "What"s the weather like today?" or "How is the weather today?" Sometimes you can call at 121 for the weather. When it"s cold, we shiver and need to wear warm clothes and scarfs. When it"s raining, we need raincoats or umbrellas.
