【正文】 are totally different from the real world, so reading them is like travelling in another world, where everything is new and exciting, so they can hold my attention all through the book, and it’s a great way to escape the reality for a while and just relax. And for swimming, I love it because it’s a marvelous way to get refreshed after a stressful day at school, and it also helps me to keep fit. (Lose weight/maintain my figure.)I love basketball because I’m good at it, and it’s fun, and, it helps me to keep fit (and grow taller). And besides, after a stressful day at school, playing a game of basketball really helps me relax and wind down. I also enjoy watching NBA games with my friends. We drink beer, talk, and shout when Kobe scores. It’s always a wonderful time. I love playing puter games because it’s great fun, and I really like the sense of achievement I get when I make it through all the levels in a game, and bee a master of the game. It’s really satisfying. (I think without puter games, my life would be so boring.)Music is my life. I just couldn’t do without it. To me, it’s just as important as eating and sleeping. And, um, I listen to music whenever and wherever I can. I love music because I can understand it, so I know what kind of music I need in different situations. Like, when I cannot fall asleep, I choose __________ and when I feel down, I will listen to _________ to cheer me up. Well, it’s difficult to say because there could be many reasons for that. Um, maybe, it’s because of the age. I mean, many children watch cartoons as a hobby but not many adults do that. Or, it could be because of gender. I mean, a boy is more likely to do a certain sport or play puter games as a hobby whereas girls prefer shopping or reading love stories in their free time. I love shopping because I love to see those beautiful clothes, jewelry and perfume, and if I can buy something I like, I will feel very happy and satisfied.Work amp。l Why do you think different people have different hobbies? 大家可以從性格，職業(yè)，教育背景，家庭環(huán)境，年齡，性別等方面說(shuō)一說(shuō)。 I can throw away my worries for the time being, just enjoy the party, and burst into laughter.What qualities does one need in order to be an explorer?A healthy body and a strong psychological quality are necessary. If we’re weak, we can’t bear the long journey, we will not be a qualified explorer. We may meet many unexpected things, so a stronger psychological quality can make us clam down and handle the problem wisely.Can you give some examples of adventurous or risky activities?You know, a few years ago, bungee became a popular activity, and now it still is. You’re tied to somewhere like a tower, and jump from a high altitude. You’ll scream when you are in the air/ falling down. It’s really exciting. A little different from bungee, exploration is also adventurous. When you are in the forest or jungle where is full of danger, you should be careful all the time, or you’ll be in trouble.l What are your hobbies?把你的愛(ài)好說(shuō)一下就好。l Do you know anything about the history of your hometown? l Or: Do/did you learn about the history of your hometown at school? 這個(gè)真不知道，因?yàn)樵蹅儗W(xué)校不教地方史，如果想知道地方史的話，得問(wèn)老一輩的人，或者去圖書(shū)館查去。s education, and many successful local people set up good examples, like Chinese painter Xu Beihong and politician Zhou Peiyuan.

Everyone has a lot of shopping needs and life quality is much higher than before.*Is there anything that needs to be improved in your hometown?1. Well, to be honest, I am not fond of the current situation of traffic system. To be specific, I can’t stand a large number of private cars there, which creates not only severe air pollution but also traffic jams in rush hours. You know, it’s really annoying. So if I were the mayor of the city, the first thing I would do is to take measures to develop public transport system.2. In my hometown, the roads are very narrow. So during rush hours, many cars get stuck and often cause traffic jams, people will spend long time in muting. I hope the government can spend more time doing useful things to deal with this problem.*If you were the mayor of your hometown, what is the first thing that you would do?If I were the mayor of my city, I would allocate a large amount of funds to improve the situation of our traffic by broadening our roads, building new roads and buying more public transportation like buses and taxies, because it is the most serious problem in our city.
