地点类话题:

理想的家:

The apartment is located not far from a very pleasant park along the river. It’s a quiet neighborhood compared

with the noisy city center. It’s a three-bedroom apartment. It’s quite spacious. I think it covers about 130

square meters. She lives on the tenth floor and she has two balconies with a nice view over the river. On a

clear day, you can see the mountains that surround Hangzhou. It is a lot of fun to live here, I mean getting so

close to nature and escape from the busy city life.

As soon as you get inside, you are in the living room. There’s a huge couch facing a wide-screen TV. I can put

a wooden coffee table in front of it. Because of the large screen doors, the place is very bright. I like to read a

lot and she has set up many bookshelves to display her many novels and DVD collection.

Two of the bedrooms have a private bathroom, which is very convenient when I have some friends to come

over. There are nice curtains on the windows and fancy cushions on the beds. It looks very cozy.

Finally, the kitchen is quite small but well-equipped. I will have an oven and hot plates, a microwave and a big

fridge. It’s a nice and interesting place and I really wish I could own a house like this someday.

历史建筑：

Ok, well, the historical building I’ve decided to talk about is the former residence of a Chinese poet, who I think

was called … or something like that, and although it’s not really that well-known a building, the reason I’ve

chosen to describe it rather than any of the other old places I’ve been to is that I’m pretty sure you won’t have

heard any other students talking about this one, so it should hopefully be a bit more interesting for you!

Anyway, I suppose it must have been about 7 or 8 years ago when I went there, so it was quite a while ago,

and as for why I visited it, well if I’m gonna be totally honest with you, I wasn’t actually all that keen on going,

because at that time I had absolutely no interest in history or poetry, so it wasn’t my idea of fun at all, you know,

I would much rather have been at home watching TV! But my parents thought it would be a good idea to take

me there, as they said it would help me understand more about Chinese culture and also what life used to be

like when they were children. And as well as this, I think they may have also secretly hoped that going there

might spark my interest in poetry or calligraphy.

But anyway, as for what people were doing there, well, there wasn’t really that much to see, apart from the

calligraphy and photographs which were hanging up on the walls. So people were mainly just walking around

the house looking at the various things on the walls and reading the captions which, I have to admit, I didn’t

bother doing myself, as I wasn’t the least bit interested in any of it. I guess I was just too young to really

appreciate it.

And with regard to how I felt about the building itself, well if truth be told, it wasn’t really all that impressive,

because it was basically just a small two-storey house with a little garden running around it. So it probably

looked pretty much what most other houses would have looked like 50 years ago. But then again I guess it

wasn’t meant to look that impressive, because the whole point of preserving the house was to commemorate

the life of the poet, so the focus was on him rather than the building itself.

名胜古迹:

Ok then, well the tourist attraction that I’d like to talk to you about is West Lake, which is in Hangzhou. I really

do think it lives up to its reputation as being one of the most beautiful lakes in China.

But anyway, as for where it is, well as I mentioned just now, it’s here in Hangzhou, but to be more specific, it’s

actually right in the heart of the city, so um… yeah, it’s very accessible, and also very easy to find. For

example, it’s only, like, a five-minute taxi ride from the train station, and you can also get the subway there.

And um… regarding what you can do there, well, a good way to take in all the scenery is to just wander

around the lake. And there are also quite a few teahouses dotted around the lake, some more expensive than

others, I might add, so if you do go to one, it’s a good idea to take a quick look at the prices before you sit

down and make yourself comfortable, otherwise you might be in for a bit of a shock!

What else? Um..…. Oh yeah, of course, you can go on a boat on the lake, and if it’s your first time there, then

it’s something you should definitely do, because I’d say it’s probably the best way to experience the beauty of

the lake and its surroundings.

So yeah, it’s a really interesting place to visit, and if you haven’t been there yet, you should definitely go if you
