Has your hometown changed much these years?

参考答案

Absolutely! Take traffic as an example, the most common transport facility used to be buses, it could be really crowded sometimes since people didn't have any other options. However, today, BRT and subway systems have made people's lives easier than ever.

我的答案

To be honest, not really. Life there feels pretty much the same as before. The only noticeable change is that shopping malls keep updating, but apart from that, the town is still quiet and peaceful.

Is that a big city or a small place?

参考答案

This city is so huge. I often get lost here. Like the other day, I travelled to a new neighborhood that had this restaurant people were raving about. I made a wrong turn and it took me 20 minutes to figure out where I was.

我的答案

It’s not a really big city compared to first-tier cities like Beijing or Shanghai. I’d say it’s a fourth-tier city in Shandong province, which means it’s smaller, less crowded, and less developed than the big cities, but it still has quite good infrastructure.

How long have you been living here?

参考答案

For about half my life, so that is about 10 years. I went to school here, and now I'm working in the same city. In fact, time has gone by really quickly because so there's so much to do here and I've been so active.

我的答案

I lived there until I was 18. After that, I went to university in Wuxi, then studied in London, and later worked in Beijing for a while. Now I’m back in Wuxi for work.

For you, what benefits are there living in a big city?

参考答案

Well, first of all, there are a great number of opportunities for both education and job-hunting in big cities, which explains why people from small cities, towns and villages are flooding to big cities nowadays. Plus, the fact that cities offer more modern facilities and conveniences makes them even more attractive to people.

我的答案

I’d say the public transportation is much more convenient in a big city. Plus, there are definitely more job opportunities and better access to different services and entertainment options.

Is there anything you dislike about it?

参考答案

Unfortunately, this city has a huge problem with pollution, especially air pollution. The air is so contaminated that we all have to wear masks every time we go out of the house. This problem has escalated to a serious level that it's been catching the attention of the international community. I hope that the government will be able to save this city before the problem gets worse.

我的答案

Yes, I’d say the education system isn’t very fair in my hometown. Students there have to work ten times harder than those in big cities to get into a good university. I think that’s quite discouraging.

What do you like most about your hometown?

参考答案

What I love the most about it is the mystery. I mean there are so many places inside this city that I have yet to explore. I could spend years checking out every restaurant and attraction Beijing has to offer.

我的答案

What I like most is the peace and stability. Life there is slower, and I don’t have to worry about rent~~, which feels really comfortable~~. And of course, my family is there, which makes it feel like home.

Where in your country do you live?

参考答案

I live in Beijing. However, since the city is so big, it would take hours to even scratch the surface, but to sum it up, Beijing is the political and cultural heart, and one of the major economic centers of the world today.

我的答案

I’m currently living in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, since I work here. It’s a lovely city—modern but not too crowded, and it’s quite close to both Shanghai and Suzhou.
