- People in Shanghai usually work as dd

Let’s move on to talk about accommodation

- I think that living in a small apartment is enough for me because I like to live in small
places.

Describe something you own which is very important to you

- She gave it to me on my 16th birthday which was in June. (instead of which is on June)
- To most chinese children, the 16th birthday is significant and the necklace has my own
name on it.
- My mother ordered it with my name on it (instead of “my own name on it”)
- It would not be easy to replace because it has become a part of my memory at 16 years
old.

Part 3 - Two-way discussion

- In my view, money and knowledge gives status to people in Shanghai. Things have not
changed since my parents’ time because in the asian culture these two things have
always brought status to people.
- There has been an increased number of advertisements on TVs, newspapers, especially
the ones that play before the movie starts in the cinema.

- I found it very meaningful and I like the style the cartoon is drawn in because it’s very
interesting.

- The context is about his own experience on the night view
- The first time I heard it was at a book exhibition last year
- I like it because it is meaningful and excellent.

Describe a language you have learned

- Since I was in primary school there were a lot of tests and classes in english, and I have
been learning the language for a long time
- The most difficult part for me is speaking because we don’t have much chance to
communicate with foreigners in Shanghai and we only get to learn grammar, listening
and vocabulary in school.
- At first I started learning English because it was a compulsory subject but I decided to go
to a foreign country to learn English because I felt like I would be able to learn more as I
can communicate with foreigners.

when I need to do (instead of doing) my homework

try-out

attending)

Travel
- They want to gain more knowledge on other country’s culture
 - That really depends on different people
- Others won’t change their mind just because they travel to another country
- Not many people travel elsewhere because they prefer to stay home
- I don’t think so because the virus around the world might make people feel scared
because it’s dangerous to travel around and get sick.

Food
- It is unhealthy, and harmful to our body
