F2F Class Notes (Ben) [S]

Speaking exercise

When I am born, I am a Shanghainese –>

I was born in Shanghai.

I was born in a Shanghainese family.

in 19 and 83

At that time, there were few people in Shanghai than now. Every street and every resident was cleaner than now because there were no so much low-level people. Low-level people are coming from another places in China.

I can deeply remember that if you wouldn’t close your own family’s door in summer, there were no any dangerous thing would happen, like thief come and take your child or some murder.

But now as many low-levels people have come to Shanghai, the good surrounding has changed.

Our small child will not dare to go to school alone and even if we close window and door tightly there are still thieves who will be interested in your home.

But on the other hand, our city’s development has been changed/improved quickly.

But the change has a little connection with residents’ life.

If let me make a choice, I really want to come back that time as long as we can go to another countries conveniently like now.
