答案 ★Hometown
—I come from a medium-sized city in the centre of China. It has a population of about two million. It doesn’t have many historic sites, but there are places of interest within an hours travel of the city, such as monasteries, burial sites and places of natural beauty like gorges and mountains. The city itself has a lot of industry, so it’s not a very clean place to live. The facilities and services there are pretty good-- not as good as in Beijing or Shanghai, but not bad.
—I think that the most interesting part of the city is the remains of the old city wall. Most of the wall was demolished to make way for new homes and offices, but part was preserved. Most of the year, there are cafes on top of it, so you can sit there and have a drink and a snack whilst enjoying views of the city.
—I would like to make my city a bit more colourful. At the moment, most of the buildings are grey and I think that they would look much better if they were different colours. I think that the colourful buildings might make people feel better about their city.
★Holidays
—I only have the time to go on holiday once a year. I go to visit my grandparents in their village in Yunnan. It’s very nice there-- peaceful, clean air, relaxing. Both my mother’s parents and my father’s parents were born there and have lived there all their lives. My parents left soon after getting married. I usually go with my parents, but sometimes one of them or both of them have to work. Whilst on holiday, I like to go hiking in the hills or chat with my grandparents or read a book.
—Well, it’s a village not far from Kunming. That means that it is peaceful but quite easy to get to by bus. There are no major tourist attractions in the vicinity-- just beautiful scenery. The people there are mostly farmers.
—I would like to go to Kenya in East Africa on a safari. I love watching TV documentaries about wild animals and would love to see lions, elephants, giraffes and other animals in the flesh. I’d spend the days diving around in a jeep watching the animals and taking photographs of them. In the evening, I’d chat with the locals or read in my tent.
★Languages
—I read an article on the Internet that over a hundred million foreign people are learning Chinese. I think that Chinese is becoming a very useful language because of the increasing amount of trade between China and the rest of the world. This trade is sure to increase further in the future. Although Chinese companies that do business abroad almost always have people who speak English or other foreign languages, companies in other countries realise that they also need people who speak Chinese. Many foreigners also come to China to study Chinese. There are several universities here that offer both short and extended courses. Of course, studying in China means that students can use the language outside the classroom, increasing the rate at which they learn.
—I think Chinese is becoming increasingly important, particularly in Asia. It is not as important as English, but it is certainly as important as Japanese or Korean. Most Asian languages, including Chinese, arc very difficult to write, so I don’t think that any of them will be able to compete with English on a global scale.
—I have been studying English for 8 years. I began at secondary school and continued at university. Many Chinese children learn English at secondary school and some learn it at primary school, especially in the cities. In the countryside, there are fewer English teachers, so not everyone learns it.
—No. I think that Chinese grammar and pronunciation is easier, but reading and writing in English is easier. Chinese grammar is much simpler than English grammar--there are fewer tenses and structures to learn.
—I don’t speak any other languages. No other languages were on offer at my secondary school and by the time I got to university, I wasn’t really interested in learning any other languages. Only a minority of Chinese students learn a second foreign language.
