costTransportation Questions37 Which type of transportation do you usually use in your hometownI use the bicycle Its fast and cheap and I can always trust it to get me places in the same amount of time38 Which type of transportation do you prefer for traveling aroundTrains are better because they dont encounter any traffic jams whereas sometimes in the bus we get struck in traffic Also it is always difficult to get on buses during peak hours whereas with a train you have a better chance of getting a seat during peak hours39 Whats the traffic situation like in your hometownIts quite bad now and I think its getting more and more serious The big problems are too many cars and not enough space I think that building more roads sometimes just adds to the problem because people just buy more carsAcmodations Questions40 Tell me about the kind of acmodations you live inIn my country I live in a twobedroom apartment with my parents The apartments not big but weve made it very fortable to live in We live on the third floor and theres no lift in our apartment The highest floor is the sixth floor so whoever lives on the sixth floor has to climb up and down everyday41 What are the advantages and disadvantages of the kind of housing you live inLet me think The biggest advantage I guess it would be the convenience of it I can do anything I want As for the biggest disadvantage some people might say the space but I think the biggest disadvantage of living in a flat is that you never really get to know your neighbours42 Which do you prefer a flat or a houseWell it depends on the condition that they are in Id probably have to say a flat because you dont have to worry so much about maintaining it43 Which floor do you live on and what are the advantages and disadvantages of living on that floorI live on the 1st floor The advantage is that its easier to get to because you dont have to climb any steps The bad thing is that its a bit noisier although we dont have to put up with too much noise from downstairs since there is no downstairsFamily Questions44 Can you tell me something about your familyI have 3 brothers and no sisters Both of my parents are still alive and

for a livingMy fathers retired and my mothers still working as a nurse at the Xie He hospital My father used to be a city inspector I have no brothers and sisters46 What do you and your family like to
