Homework

what do you think about the situation in HK?

Speaking exercise

I think lot of luxury brands consider HK as a country and the most of foreigner though HK is a country not belong to China and maybe with some national problems also because coach is a America brand so maybe because of that a little reason made that. They put HK be a country.
If as a Chinese person I will feel it is not good because we also think HK is belong to China but as a normal person I will feel ok because maybe they have some wrong understanding about it.
Because the first thing I love my country and I don’t know why lots of people think HK is country because in history it is a part of china but because of a contract it is cut and separated to UK for a while so this place come back to china in 1997 so of course it belongs to China. A lot of people thought it don’t belong to China and right now the situation in HK is not good and that made many people want to leave there. Maybe they will be recover very soon because they don’t made very wrong problem but maybe D&G will make a long time to recover because it is too much. I think it is more bad than these 2 brands.


I think a lot of luxury brands consider HK as a country and most foreigners / non-chinese people think that/believe that  HK is a country which does not belong to China and there are maybe some national problems because coach is an America brand so maybe because of that it makes the mistake worse/it makes the matter worse /people get more sensitive to it.

They consider HK as a country.
As a Chinese person I will feel it is not good because we also think HK belongs to China but as a normal person I will feel it is ok because maybe they have some misunderstandings about it / they don’t have a clear understanding about it.
I love my country / I am a patriot and I don’t know why lots of people think HK is a country because in History it was a part of China but because of a contract it was given to the UK for a while so this place came back to China in 1997 so of course it belongs to China. A lot of people think it doesn’t  belong to China and right now the situation in HK is not good and that made many people want to leave the place. Maybe they will  recover very soon because they didn‘t  make a very big mistake but maybe D&G will take a long time to recover because it is too much. I think it is more worse than these 2 brands.
