    I've got some information for everyone who are going to Britain next month. As you know, you'll be staying with a family for two weeks. Now the most important thing is money. You should take about ￡30 in cash(现金) and about ￡200 in traveller's cheques(支票). Then when you arrive at the airport, you'11 be met by your host family. You must remember to wear a red shirt so that the family can find you easily. I've told them to look out for the red shirts. You'll also need to take with you four photos of yourself and, of course, it's very important that you take the school letter. While you are there, if you have any problems, please call our agent. I'll give you her office phone number. It's 580-4436 and the person to ask for is Mrs. Belcher. She's in the office from 9: 00 to 17: 00 everyday. OK! That's everything. Have a good trip.
