和老外聊天地道口語你知道什么叫工業(yè)旅游嗎?

M: We still have one more day to go before we return home. What will we see tomorrow?

J: no idea. We've enjoyed both the natural scenery and the city sights. What else is there to see?

M: what about a factory tour?

J: you mean visit a factory?

M: yes. I heard there's a lager motor company nearby whick open to the public every weekend. We can go to see how a car is manufactured and learn more about the automobile industry.

J: good idea! I've always been interested in that. How much is the entrance fee?

M: I'm not sure, but as far as I know, most factory tours are free. They are sponsored by the company providing the tour.

J: really? What do the companies do that for?

M: I believe most of them think of it as good public relations. They can promote their product and make their company better-known.

J: oh, isee. So factory tours are good for companies as well as visitors.

M: exactly.

J: do we need an appointment beforehand?

M: I'll call the tourist information centre to check.
