— Teacher’s version —

I come from Changsha, which is one of China’s most famous cities.

Changsha is located pretty close to the center of China.

Changsha is famous for its entertainment industry. We have a TV show that is famous all over the country.

One of the most interesting things in our city is its food and it is always being shown on TV shows.

I’d say it’s a good place to live because we have a pretty casual culture. We really like meeting our friends for good food and night snacks.
So overall, I think it’s an amazing place to live.
