USEFUL WORDS AND PHRASES 11 November is 'Singles' Day' in Shanghai, and every year a dating event takes place where all the single men and women of the city have the chance to meet a partner. Last year, it was so popular that the organizers had to close online registration because there were no more places. Between 10,000 and 40,000 people attend the event every year. It's held in a district of Shanghai called Thames Town. At least 50 dating agencies take part. They set up stands in the town hall with billboards displaying cards with the height, birth date, education, and annual income of thousands of clients. People who did not manage to register for the event organize their own unofficial dating system by writing their names and phone numbers on bits of paper and attaching them t o the fence outside the town hall. More people take part in 'Singles' Day' every year because of the growing number of single adults in Shanghai. In the centre of the city, more than 24% of people over the age of 15 are unmarried.

'Great location and service' Located in the heart of the city, the Park Central New York is in easy walking distance of Carnegie Hall, Broadway and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). Central Park is only three blocks away and Fifth Avenue, with its international boutiques and huge department stores, is only a ten-minute walk from the hotel. For guests who want to travel further away, there are seven subway lines located within three blocks of the hotel. The Park Central New York offers great service, great comfort and great value. The hotel's bistro, 'Cityhouse', provides the perfect setting for dinner before a concert or a Broadway show in the evening. Guests can enjoy the reasonably priced set menu while watching the world go by on Seventh Avenue through the bistro's oversized windows. There's also a bar in the lobby where guests can enjoy a cocktail after the show. Because of its central location, the Park Central New York is the ideal hotel for tourists visiting the city for the first time. Our multilingual staff on the front desk are always happy to provide tour assistance and answer any questions guests may have.

The world's busiest a i r p o r t today is in the USA. Nearly 54 million passengers pass t h r o u g h Atlanta International Airport every year. However, by the end of the next decade there's going t o be a new airport even bigger and busier than Atlanta. The new airport is going to be in the capital of China: Beijing. Beijing already has t w o airports. The first is Beijing Capital, where an extra terminal was built for the 2008 Olympic Games. The second is Nanyuan Airport, which is mainly used by military planes .Just over 73 million passengers passed t h r o u g h Beijing Capital Airport last year, making it the second busiest after Atlanta. But the current airport is not big enough f o r all the Chinese passengers w h o want to travel by plane. This is why the government is going to build a new one. The new a i r p o r t is going to be in the suburb of Daxing, in the south of t h e city. Daxing is about an hour's drive f r o m the city centre. The government is going t o extend Beijing's M e t r o so t h a t passengers can reach it more easily. There are also plans for a high-speed train line. The airport is going t o have eight runways for commercial flights, and a ninth runway for military use. This is going t o make it the biggest and the busiest a i r p o r t in the world.
