Hello, children and parents. Thank you all for coming to the meeting . I’d like to start by confirming
(保证) that we will receive some money from the government for our school trip to Indonesia. We will
receive about $ 1,300 per child , which will reduce the whole cost to you .
Now that we are sure to get the money , it is time to do some serious planning . We are sure that
the trip will be very exciting for the children, especially if they have not traveled overseas before . There
are many benefits (利益好处) to having a trip to different places and cultures. Your children will be able
to learn a lot about other people and cultures on this trip .
Leanne is with us tonight . Leanne, where are you ? Put up your hand , Leanne , so that the people
can see who you are . Thank you . Leanne went on the trip last year and will be happy to tell you of her
experiences and answer any questions you might have . We will hear from her a bit later in the meeting .
We only have five months to organize the trip . From past experience I can tell you that this time will
go very quickly . So we need to start organizing the trip .
