EDITOR’S NOTE: (1) . To help solve the problem, the government released some guidelines. They said that in future tour guides would probably receive tips from tourists who are willing to reward their quality service. Do you support giving tips to tour guides?
YES
Shi Jiahao, 18:
I’m in favor of giving tips to tour guides. (2) . They can also encourage the guides to work harder. What’s more, if we could make full use of tips, it would promote mutual(相互的)trust between tourists and tour guides.
Zhou Yuwei, 16:
I support the idea. In the West, tour guides get extra rewards for good service. (3) . However, in China, tour guides are not really respected enough. Perhaps regulating(规范)tipping could improve their status.
NO
Zhu Yiming, 15:
I object to the practice. It’s a tour guide’s job to ensure(确保)every tourist has a pleasant trip. (4) . If giving tips became common, some guides might take it for granted that they would receive tips. They could even force tourists to give them tips. We should use other ways to help tourism develop healthily.
Zhai Xiaohang, 17:
I am definitely opposed to(反对)the idea. If tips were allowed, the guide would inevitably(必然)show preference to those who might pay more, thus making the whole trip unfair. (5) . The tourism industry might become corrupt(腐败).
