My family name means peace, and my first name means strong one. My English name was given to me by one of my high school teachers, and it does not have
3、 any special meaning really. ( 7 - 8 )I presume you are referring to my Chinese name.

To be more exact, we live in an apartment building in one of the northern suburbs of the city. I have my own room and enjoy the privacy that it brings
9、, but I am looking forward to the day that I can have my own apartment. Allow me to explain: they are good parents, and I love them very much, but I would like to be more independent soon.Well, that is not so easy to answer. Please allow me to explain.

11、 capital of the Liaoning province. It has about seven million inhabitants. It has many heavy industries such as automobile, aircraft, and machine tool manufacturers. In addition, it is rich in history. For example, the Japanese invaded the city and committed many atrocities (that is to say many crim
12、es) during the occupation. This is still remembered by many of the elderly folks to this day. Another example that I could mention is the Imperial Palace that belonged to the last dynasty - the Qing dynasty- in China. 11. Can you tell me about some famous landscapes in your hometown?11.

In summer it is a popular place to visit and see tigers, bears, wolves, other animals and even pandas in their natural environment. In winter we often go skiing there. Secondly, I would like to mention Beiling Park. It consists of
15、 a large park, with many gardens and a lake. In addition it also is the site of an emperors tomb from the Qing Dynasty. Lastly, there are many other sites that are worthwhile visiting. For example, Government (City Hall) Square with the Great Theater alongside it, Zhongshan Square, and the spectacul
16、ar TV Tower, which is the highest architectural attraction in Shenyang. 12. What places in your hometown do you like best?There are many places that I like. If I had to choose one place, I would like to tell you about Government Square. Firstly, it is the largest square in Shenyang. What I mean is t
17、hat it is a large open space where one can see the sky clearly, and feel free. Secondly, it houses an important government building. I guess you could call it the City Hall. 13.

What are the people like in your hometown?15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown?Wel
24、l, they arent any different from the people in any other large city. For example, here we also have good and bad people. Secondly, like everyone else, they are trying to work out a good life for themselves and their children. For example, parents are trying all they can to ensure that their children
25、 receive a good education.Well, they arent any different from the inhabitants in any other large city. For example, here we also have many wholesome families as well as our share of criminal elements in the society. In addition, I believe that my hometown has not been westernized to the same extent
26、as a city like Hong Kong. For example, in Shenyang the people have not become materialistic to the same extent as the inhabitants of Hong Kong. In other words, in Shenyang you would still find many good old-fashioned (traditional) people who have strong principles and values about many aspects of li
