Lesson One. Hometown.
1） Where do you come from?
Or: Let's talk about your hometown. What kind of place is it?

2）What part of the city do you live in?

郊区范例
Eg2. I lived in the suburbs in quite a large townhouse with a beautiful garden, but I work in the downtown area, so I have to commute to and from work every day.

Notes:
1）解题思路：a.住在市区的好处是方便和机会多多，坏处是拥挤和吵闹；b.住在郊区好处是住房面积大，但往返工作不便

2）特别注意：在西方人眼里住在城郊大屋（townhouse）的人往往是有钱人,如果我们请他有时间到我们家去做客(visiting our family)；如果你显得很有钱（seem to be rich），外国人有时也高看你一眼，愿意和你攀关系（building up networks），因为很多外国人也是势利眼（red eyes）喜欢高攀（getting powerful friends in higher places），拿高分就不用说了（not to mention the high score）.


4）Can you tell me the street you live in？
How has the street changed in recent years?
闽江路范例
Eg1. Well, I lived in a tree-lined street called MinJiang Road. It used to be part of the field in the early 80s, but now it has become part of the downtown area. It's very famous for catering, because there are varieties of restaurants, offering various dishes to suit different tastes and wallets，such as Sichuan restaurants, seafood restaurants, hotpot restaurants, and you can even find some exotic restaurants offering French food and Thai food. There are also many retail shops on the street.

台东范例
Eg2. At the central heart of the Qingdao city, Taidong is a fairly prosperous business street. A walk to from end to end would probably take you about 30 minutes and that's only without looking at any shops. TaiDong is also home to many great supermarkets such as Liqun-mart and Wall-mart and franchise shops such as Jeans West、Banelo. And the each side of street is full of food stalls and grocery stalls. If you are not quite impressive yet, I am sure you will be when night falls. In the evening, when TaiDong Street turns on its ever-changing neon advertising lights and large outdoor TV screen, it makes the street the most impressive place to be. Indeed it is a paradise to thousands of young men and lovers.

I'm telling ya, I don't think there are many people, if there is any, could resist the temptation of the tasty Beijing duck. You know the duck skin is crisp and the meat is tender.

They can never fail to make your mouth water. The rich Chinese tend to serve disguised guests at fancy seafood restaurants. I strongly recommend you to try the seafood in Haitian Hotel on HK Road when you visit Qingdao next time. You know, savoring the yummy seafood、listening to the exotic music while enjoying the panoramic sea view on the French-touch balcony of the top floor. The feeling is awesome.

Lakes and waterfalls are spilling down from mountainside in the so called BeiJiushui park，the Northern Nine Water. Ever changing color of leaves are making trees there smashing. It is also the home to millions of birds and animals.
