  2004年圣诞将至,随我们重温去年圣诞老人的风采。本期我们的特邀嘉宾是来自瑞典的真正的圣诞老人。此次访问由斯堪第纳维亚航空公司(SAS)和北京丽都假日饭店提供赞助。他就是乘坐 SAS 的飞机来到北京的,并下榻在丽都假日饭店。

  我们来看一段关于圣诞老人抵达北京的报道,然后你将在英语通对他的独家采访中,听到这位真正的圣诞老人对他的工作的介绍。
If you thought that Santa Claus lived in Lapland, that he travelled on a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer, and that he climbed down chimneys to deliver Christmas presents to good boys and girls, then think again!

The Real Santa Claus is from Sweden, he travels by jet, and in2english has met him!

The kindly old gentleman flew to Beijing by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), and stayed at the hotel that he likes to call his 'second home'.

Read, listen to and watch our report about this event, and meet the man who spends 365 days of every year as the Real Santa Claus, bringing Christmas peace and happiness wherever he goes.

It's the beginning of December and things are looking very festive at the Holiday Inn Lido Beijing.

The Christmas tree has been decorated, the Christmas lights have been hung, and everyone's waiting for a very special event.

Mums and dads, boys and girls, and members of the in2english team have gathered to say a big 'Hello!' to the Real Santa Claus.
