Introduction Script
Greetings Example: Hello, my name is Julia Chen. I will be your guide to Seattle, the
Emerald City.
A: Hello, my name is ______. I will be your guide to _Stockholm_.

B: Hello, my name is ______. I will be your guide to _Seattle_.

Why A/B: The reason weve decided to pitch for _Stockholm_ and
_Seattle_ together is that the two cities are related to each
others. They are both well-educated countries. Form the news
that Microsoft a company located in Seattle bought hugely
popular game franchise Minecraft ownership of its Stockholm,
we can find out that both countries are hotbeds of creativity and
innovation.

Link to Taiwan A: And we also have some information about the link between
Stockholm and Taiwan, It takes 15 hours to travel from Taiwan to
Stockholm , and its much longer than to Seattle. And the climate
in Stockholm is familiar to tawian for its clear weather in every
seasons.Also Stockholm is beside the sea like Taiwan.

B: When it comes to the link between Seattle and Taiwan.It takes

12 hours to travel from Taiwan to Seattle. Theres no transfer
stops but a 16-hour time difference. Seattle is familiar to Taiwan
that they also love the baseball, and they will support their local
team-Seattle Mariners as crazy as we do to our national team.
Pitch (talking Script
positively)
Cultural symbol Example: Now, what comes to your mind when you think of Seattle? For
me, it has to be coffee, coffee, and coffee. Seattleites consume
more coffee than people in any other cities in the U.S. mainly
because .
 A: Now, what comes to your mind when you think of _Stockholm_?
For me, it has to be Gamla Stan.All of Gamla Stan and the
adjacent island of Riddarholmen are like a living pedestrian-
friendly museum full of sights, attractions, restaurants, cafs,
bars and places to shop. Gamla Stan is also popular with
aficionados of handicrafts, curios and souvenirs. The narrow
winding cobblestone streets, with their buildings in so many
different shades of gold, give Gamla Stan its unique character.
Even now cellar vaults and frescoes from the Middle Ages can
be found behind the visible facades, and on snowy winter days
the district feels like something from a story book.

B: As for _Seattle, it must be Experience Music Project which is a

one-of-a-kind music museum combining interactive and
interpretive exhibits to tell the story of the creative, innovative
and rebellious expression that defines American popular music.
Featuring a world-class collection of artifacts, unique
architecture by Frank O. Gehry, state-of-the-art technology, and
exciting interactive presentations, EMP will encourage visitors of
many ages and backgrounds to experience the power and joy of
music in its many forms.

Cultural ritual A: Besides , _ Stockholm _ is also well-known for Nobel Prize and
this prize is come from Nobel's will. At the Prize Award
Ceremony in Stockholm , presentation speeches glorify their
discovery or work,then the King of Sweden hands each one a
diploma and a medal. Since the Nobel Prize is regarded as the
most famous prize in the world, the Award Ceremonies is
become the major international events that receive everyone's
attention .

B: When people talk about Seattle_,the first thing come to their

mind must be coffee. Everyone know that people in Seattle love
coffee and the world's largest coffee shop chain,Starbucks,first
opened in Seattle in 1971, then extended to the world fastly.
People in Seattle love coffee may cause two reasons Some
say it's because Seattle has many rainy days then people need
coffee to refresh a dsy. Others say that is because Seattle
people are sluggish. In Seattle,people go to coffee shops to chat
with friends,read books,do works,or just relax. Coffee is play an
important role in Seattle.
Cultural hero A: Finally, you might be curious about whats kind of people live in
the great city. The most famous Stockholms people is Alfred
Nobel, the funder of Nobels prize. He was also a scientist and
inventor. When you talk about Stockholm , You cannot forget this
hero.

B: Like ___Stockholm_,_ we also has an iconic person, which is

Ichiro Suzuki , the most famous Japanese MLBs player in Miami
Marlins. He already had 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons, the
longest record by any player in Seattle. Although he is not a
Seattle people , but he definitely can called as a hero.
