【正确答案】Well, I live in Shanghai, so I suppose you could say that it is both modern and old, which is what I really love about it. It has the best of both worlds.
I love most things about living in Shanghai, except for maybe on some clays the air pollution is quite horrible. That's probably the only negative thing, I would say.
Shanghai is always changing—it's sort of the city which best shows off China's economic development and progress, so new buildings and skyscrapers are constantly going up.
I study sociology at Furan University here in Shanghai and I'm in my first year.
I guess it probably takes me an hour each way. I catch the bus so it depends on traffic to some extent.
The best thing about studying at this university is its reputation. Furan University is quite prestigious and I am very lucky to be accepted to their undergraduate programmed.
I watch breakfast television in the morning, so I hear a round up of all the news then. It's a good way to start the day as I like being informed about what's happening and I can watch it while I'm getting ready to go to university.
I'm probably more interested in national and regional news than international, because the coverage is better. On the weekends I like to catch up with international news as I have a bit more time.
Every morning. It's kind of part of my morning routine, actually. And occasionally I'll watch the late news at night as well.
I'm fascinated by news about people -- whether it's health related, business or economics, I just like to hear about what people are doing around my country and any new developments. It's because I'm curious about human nature, I suppose.
A sport that I play now is basketball. I play in the university league and we're doing really well so we hope to win the championship this year.
I love the skill and pace involved in basketball and I also really like the fact that it's a team sport, but also quite individually focused. I love how fast the game can change direction because it's so exciting to watch and play.
I guess so. I'm pretty sporty and fit and I've got good ball skills, so I can pick up any sport with a ball relatively easily. I'm thinking of taking up indoor football for next season.
I generally prefer to play it rather than watch it, but of course it depends on the sport. Because I'm really active, I get bored and fidgety if I have to sit down for too long, so a game is often too long for me to sit and watch.
I'm not really that big on art in general, but if I had to say I suppose I quite like statues and sculpture, things like that: things which are in public spaces for everybody to enjoy rather than hidden away in expensive galleries.
Yes, I studied art and calligraphy at school. I really enjoyed it at the time but it wasn't going to lead to any type of career, so I dropped it.
I'd probably prefer to view it. Although as I said, I enjoyed taking art at school, I don't think I'd have much talent for it now, so I'm probably better off just enjoying other people's artwork.
I do think it's important, but not as important as other subjects such as moths and science. Taking art at school beyond a certain age is a bit of a waste of time, because as I mentioned, it doesn't lead to any sort of decent career.
