14、g? a. In (name of hometown), we pronounce (a word) like (hometowns pronunciation), but in Beijing, they say (Beijings pronunciation). b.

21、ountry that I should know about? China has a great number of customs. Let me tell you something about friendship. Really good friends will always help each other.

22、I know that in the West, people usually schedule appointments with each other in advance. But, our friendships in China are very strong and deep, and it would be unheard of not to drop what you are doing and invite a friend in.20. How long have you lived in Beijing? Almost 4 years now. I first came

23、to Beijing in July 1996. Its kind of surprising that Ive already lived here for 4 years. I wasnt planning to stay for a long time, but then I got a good job in a joint venture company.21. What is the weather like in Beijing? There are four seasons. Winter is cold, dry and windy, with a bit of snow.

24、Spring is short and wet. Summer is hot and humid, with temperatures as high as 30 degrees Centigrade. Its pretty miserable in the summer unless you have air conditioning. Fall is probably the best season its very comfortable not windy, not cold, not humid.22. How do you compare the climate in Beijin

25、g with that in your hometown? Its about the same, except that we get a lot more snow in my hometown than we get in Beijing.

27、igner visit? Why? I would recommend the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and the Forbidden City. Those are the most famous places in the city. Of course, there are many other places that have less historic significance, but those four places are really worth seeing.25. What are the m

28、ajor social problems in Beijing? How can they be solved? There are a lot of people who have recently been laid off work. They have little income and many have a family to support. I think they should be given a chance to get another job maybe by giving them more training or something like that. Perh

29、aps if the government provided a short-term vocational training course to people who have been laid off . that would help with the unemployment problem.26. What is the biggest problem China faces? Overpopulation. Even though China has the one-child policy, it still has a huge population. The governm

30、ent wants to provide food and education for everyone, but they havent yet attained their goal. Many of Chinas problems stem from overpopulation.27. What places do you recommend a foreigner to visit in your hometown and why? Im from Xian. I think the Terracotta Warriors is really worth seeing. It is

It looks really magnificent.28. Which city, in your opinion, is the best city in China? Beijing, because its the capital of
