1. And what shall I call you
Most people call me Xiao Huang.
2. Where do you come from

the capital city at one point in China鈥檚 history.
b.

was
born
in
Xi鈥榓n.
My
parents
moved
to
Shanghai
when
I
was
just
4
years
old
锛?/p>
so
I
really
don鈥檛
know
much
about
Xi鈥榓n锛?/p>
apart
from
occasional
summer visits to see
some good friends of the family. In fact
锛?/p>
I don鈥檛 have any relatives at all living
in Xi鈥榓n.
3. Where about is your hometown
Xi鈥檃n is located in Shanxi Province锛?/p>
which is in central China.
4. Could you tell me something about your hometown

锛?/p>
the population is about 6 million.
It鈥榮 famous
for its
historic
sites
锛?/p>
especially for the Terracotta Warriors. Xi鈥檃n was named the capital of China
several
times
over
many
dynasties.
Also
锛?/p>
Xi
鈥榓n
is
the
starting
point
of
the
famous
Silk
Road
锛?/p>
which
was
important
in
ancient
times.
The

is
extremely
hot
in
summer
锛?/p>
about
40
degrees
Centigrade
锛?/p>
and
fairly
cold
in
the

about
14
degrees
Centigrade
below

I was born in the city
锛?/p>
but
moved to the outskirts of the town when I was small. 鈥淴鈥?nbsp;is a fairly large city 鈥?/p>
a
pretty
important
economic
centre
actually.
It

million.
It鈥檚

6. Tell me about what鈥榮 the biggest tra
ditional festival in your country.

countries. Spring Festival is the only time when all families gather together and stores
and business are closed for several days.
7. Can you describe one of the main festivals celebrated in your country
National Day
锛?/p>

锛?/p>
is a big holiday. We get three days off and
there are a lot of fireworks displays. There are large flower pictures and other types
of flowers decorating the city
锛?/p>
and some of the larger cities hold parades.
8. How long have you lived in Beijing
Almost 4 years now. I first came to Beijing in July 1996. It鈥榮 kind of surprising
that I鈥檝e already lived here for 4 years. I wasn鈥榯 planning to stay for a long
time
锛?/p>
but then I got a good job in a joint venture company.
