Speaking exercise

Tell me about the advantage and disadvantage of living in SH

The advantage of living in SH is it is modern, fashionable, and convenient. And if you are rich, you can enjoy the life in SH. The disadvantage of living in SH is that work is busy and if you want a satisfied job work you must work hard. And if you are not born in SH, it is a hard challenge / hard choice hardly model choose.

What advice do you want to give the young people in SH?

Although I say if you are not born in the SH, it is a hard challenge, and you must work hard. But I think work is not life. You can enjoy a modern, fashionable, and convenient life in SH with modern, fashionable, and convenient when you are younger.

We often say “enjoy work enjoy life”, so you need a lot of effort hard work in at work time and you need to learn different skills because they will have bring money to you to give take you a better life in SH.

If you will leave SH, which city do you want to live in?

If I must leave, I want to live in HZ. Because it is a 2 hrs car ride to SH and HZ is a slow city compared to SH. But I think when I am a young man, I will choose to work in SH and live in HZ on weekends, when I’m older, I can stay in HZ for more time.

Why do you have to choose working in SH? Do you think working in SH is the best choice for young people? 

SH is the biggest city in China. It has have the more companies and colleges than other cities, so you can easily to find a good job in SH. In China, for young people, I think if you want to change your life, you need to work in cities likes SH and BJs city. They can bring you more information and opportunity and also bring you more money. You can easily become a rich man.

Do you think SH is a good city for retirement? 

It is not. SH is modern, fashionable and convenient. Its medical facility is also developed. But you will can find if you want to go to the hospital, it often has often more people in it. And in the summer or the winter, the weather is so poor. If you are older, you have more time to life but the city is not friendly to old man. When you are younger, you often go play and go shopping in downtown. When you are older, the demand is becomes less and you will feel bored. And fast paced city is not suitable for you so I think it is not a good city for retirement.
