Text Farewell Speech

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, Time goes so quickly and your voyage to the Yangtze River is drawing to a close. Tomorrow morning we will be arriving at our destination port safely. Before we part, Id like to take this opportunity to say a few words. First of all, I wish to thank you all for the understanding and cooperation you have given us in the past three and a half days. You have been very punctual on all occasions, which made things a lot easier for our work. You have been very attentive when we had anything to tell you. Also, you have been kind enough to offer us suggestions on how to better our guiding service. Id like to add that you are the best group weve ever been with. During your travel on the Yangtze River, you have visited the major scenic spots here. Some of you are fascinated by the beauty of the Three Gorges; some are impressed b the magnificence of the Three Gorges Project while others enjoy the delicious food and even take some snake with them on your trip home. Three days ago, we met as strangers; today, we bid farewell to each as friends. As a Chinese saying goes, A good friend from afar brings a distant land closer. I hope youll take back happy memories of your visit to the Yangtze River. As we usually say, you can please some of the people all of the time, some of the othe people some of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time. However, if you go for a holiday, it doesnt matter whether it is bad or good. If it is bad you are so pleased to return and appreciate your own home. If it is good, you will be looking forward to going there again. You have not seen anything yet.
China is a developing country. Tourism is a newborn thing, and the specialized units alone cannot achieve the success of tourism. Its success depends a great deal on the help and support of units related to this industry. Everyone know the problem you have met on this trip, and I dont want to enumerate them now. The point is that we should treasure our friendship and experiences. Parting is such sweet sorrow. It is happy to meet, sorry to depart, and happy to meet again. May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your bake, May the rain fall softly upon your fields, May the sun shine warmly upon your face, And until we meet again, and all the best! Now I propose a toast: To the friendship between us, To your happy journey on the Yangtze River, To the health, wealth and happiness of all of you, To our excellent co-operation in China, cheers!
