skiing there. The Yuexiu Park is the second place I’d like to recommend. It consists of a large park, with many gardens and a lake. In addition, the city’s symbol, the Statue of Five Rams, is located in the park. There are many other sites in the city that are worthwhile visiting, such as Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Chen Clan Academy and the CITIC Building, which is the highest architectural attraction in Guangzhou.
12. What places in your hometown do you like best? ( 5 - 8 )
There are many places that I like. If I had to choose one place, I would like to tell you about Tianhe East Railway Square. It is the largest square in Guangzhou. It enjoys a large open space where one can see the sky clearly and feel free. Next, it houses a fabulous man-made waterfall. The waterfall is the largest of its kind in the whole Asia.
13. What are the main crops in your region? ( 7 - 8 )
The main crop in my hometown is, I’m afraid, skyscrapers, rather than wheat or corn, or something like that. You can see people plant bricks everyday, and months later skyscrapers grow up. Of course it’s just a metaphor, you know. Guangzhou is a metropolis. It almost has no agriculture and no crops.

In our region many crops are grown. For example, one would find all kinds of vegetables in the fields of this region. In addition, many farmers have orchards. Here they grow many kinds of fruit like apples, pears, and peaches. Lastly, it is important to note that Guangzhou is not known for its agriculture. It is better known as an industrial city. For example, here are many heavy industries manufacturing anything from aircraft and automobiles to machine tools.
14. What is the difference between your hometown and Beijing / Hong Kong? ( 5 - 6 )
The main difference between Guangzhou and Beijing is the climate. Guangzhou enjoys a tropical climate. It is very hot and humid here. On the contrary, Beijing has cold winters and hot summers. Besides, Guangzhou is a regional center whereas Beijing is more a national or even world center.

Well, they aren’t 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 receive a good education.

15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown?
Well, they aren’t 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 as a city like Hong Kong. For example, in Guangzhou the people have not become materialistic to the same extent as the inhabitants of Hong Kong. In other words, in Guangzhou you would still find many good old-fashioned (traditional) people who have strong principles and values about many aspects of life.
