Wei Jing is a college student who loves making plans. Every time she goes out, she first makes a list, then checks the routes, and then books everything. Summer vacation was coming, and she wanted to travel with her good friend Nan Nan. She had already decided: the Great Wall!

Wei Jing sent Nan Nan a message: 'I've decided, let's go to the Great Wall! I've been there once before, but that time was too short. This time we can play for a whole week!' Nan Nan replied quickly: 'The Great Wall? I'd rather go to Zhangjiajie. The mountains there are more beautiful than the Great Wall!'

魏晶有点yǒu diǎn高兴gāo xìng回复huí fùshuō:“虽然suī rán张家界hěnměi但是dàn shì长城gēng有意思yǒu yì si除了chú le风景fēng jǐng以外yǐ wài,长城还有hái yǒuhěnduō历史lì shǐ。”楠楠shuō:“张家界de风景fēng jǐng长城gēng特别tè bié而且ér qiě从来没cóng lái méiguò!”liǎng个人gè rén越来越yuè lái yuè不同bù tóng对方duì fāng

Wei Jing was a little unhappy. She replied: 'Although Zhangjiajie is beautiful, the Great Wall is more interesting! Besides the scenery, the Great Wall also has a lot of history.' Nan Nan said: 'The scenery at Zhangjiajie is more special than the Great Wall, and I've never been there!' The two of them were agreeing less and less.

第二天dì èr tiān,楠楠打电话dǎ diàn huàláishuō:“如果rú guǒ我们wǒ men一直yī zhízhēng的话de huàjiù没办法méi bàn fǎ出发chū fāliǎo要不yào bù我们wǒ men见面jiàn miàn谈谈tán tán?”魏晶tànliǎo口气kǒu qìshuō:“hǎo明天míng tiān下午xià wǔlái这里zhè lǐ。”心里xīn li还是hái shi觉得jué de长城gēnghǎodàn知道zhī dào楠楠不会bù huì轻易qīng yì改变gǎi biàn主意zhǔ yi

The next day, Nan Nan called and said: 'If we keep arguing, we won't be able to leave at all. How about we meet and talk?' Wei Jing sighed and said: 'Okay, come to my place tomorrow afternoon.' She still felt in her heart that the Great Wall was better, but she also knew Nan Nan wouldn't change her mind easily.

After Nan Nan arrived, the two sat at the table and neither said anything. After a while, Wei Jing took out a piece of paper and said: 'Let's make a pros and cons list.' Nan Nan looked at her and smiled: 'Okay, you really do love making lists!'

They wrote down the pros and cons of both places together. Because the Great Wall is close to Beijing, going there is more convenient. The scenery at Zhangjiajie is more unique, but the tickets are a bit more expensive than the Great Wall. Both of them looked at the list and quieted down.

楠楠突然tū ránshuō:“我们wǒ menyǒutiān对不对duì bù duì如果rú guǒqiánsāntiān长城,hòutiān张家界的话de huàjiùliǎngdōuliǎoma?”魏晶眼睛yǎn jingliàngshuō:“这个zhè ge主意zhǔ yi不错bù cuò我们wǒ men可以kě yǐxiān长城,zàizuò飞机fēi jī张家界,然后rán hòu慢慢màn mànwán!”

Nan Nan suddenly said: 'We have seven days, right? If we spend the first three days at the Great Wall and the last four days at Zhangjiajie, then we can go to both!' Wei Jing's eyes lit up and she said: 'That's a great idea! We can go to the Great Wall first, then fly to Zhangjiajie, and then take our time!'

The two of them started looking up information, booking tickets, and planning the itinerary together. Wei Jing became more and more happy. She realized that although this plan wasn't thought up by her alone, it was more interesting than planning by herself. Besides the Great Wall, she could also see the mountains of Zhangjiajie for the first time.

On the morning of departure, Wei Jing looked at her suitcase and her newly made list, feeling very satisfied. She thought: 'Because we didn't keep arguing, this trip will be so good.' She sent Nan Nan a message: 'Let's go! This time will definitely be a lot of fun!'
