Tea/Coffee

　　1. When was the last time you drank tea or coffee?

　　Well, actually I am a big fan of coffee and I have the habit of drinking this kind of beverage every day. You know, I just had a cup of espresso this morning. I am really partial to it because just a sip of coffee can keep me refreshed and energetic. As for tea, it is not a common thing in my daily life.

　　2. Do Chinese people like to drink tea or coffee?

　　I believe that most people in our country are more likely to choose tea, because it is an essential part of our culture. But since coffee was introduced into China and it is regarded as a modern beverage, the number of coffee lovers is also growing. Especially among the young people, drinking a cup of Americano has become a habit in the morning.

　　3. Do you prepare tea or coffee for guests at home?

　　Definitely coffee! The reasons are simple. Personally, I’m not interested in drinking tea, so you can find anything but tea in my apartment. Besides, the flavor of coffee can be changed according to guests’ preferences. You can add a dash of milk or sugar if you don't like bitter taste, but the flavor of tea is not changeable. So I am not sure it is suitable for every visitor.

　　Sky

　　1. Is there a good place to look at the sky where you live?

　　Yes, I suppose so. I’ve got a tiny but clean balcony in my room, where I think is a perfect location to appreciate the sky. Standing on the balcony and staring skywards, I can always find it mysterious and attractive. It’s like an exquisite masterpiece of Vincent van Gogh. So, whenever I have time, I will go to this small balcony to enjoy the appealing view.

　　2. Can you see the moon and stars at night where you live?

　　Well, to be honest, I believe it is a pity that I can hardly see those celestial bodies clearly in the evening these days. Since the air pollution has influenced the visibility at night greatly. The moon and stars can be spotted sometimes when the weather is nice enough but I have to say it is becoming less and less frequent for me to see them.

　　3. Do you prefer the sky in the morning or the sky at night?

　　Actually, I don't have a preference for either of them, but if I have to make a choice, I would say the sky in early time. The reason is that, in the morning the sky is still covered in mist and I am really into this kind of vague view. Also, the rising sun in the morning sky represents the brand- new beginning of another, which I think is a positive symbol.

　　4. How often do you look at the sky?

　　Frankly speaking, I barely look skywards because for most of the time I stay indoors, so there is no chance for me to do that. But when I was little, my mom and I used to take a walk every day after dinner so when walking around, I often raised my head to appreciate the starry sky.

　　Food

　　1.What kind of foreign food are popular in your country?

　　I suppose the so-called “junk food” in the western country has gained a lot of popularity in China. There is a large number of restaurants serving hamburgers, pizzas and French fries. People, especially youngsters, are really enthusiastic about them probably because eating this kind of food is time-saving and also very fashionable. But personally, I don't regard it as a positive trend in our society.

　　2.What kinds of new food have you tried recently?

　　Well, I am always willing to try new things and last month I saw a newly-opened Mexico restaurant, so I decided to take a taste. I ordered nachos and tacos, which are two types of Mexican food. I thought it might take me some time to get used to the food but surprisingly I fell in love with it from the first bite! The spicy flavor is exactly my cup of tea.

　　3.Do you like to try new food?

　　Yes, of course! I am passionate about trying new restaurants especially those that serve foreign food. Every time I have meals in a restaurant that I have never been to, it is like having an adventure. Also, as a real foodie, I’m fond of cooking with different ingredients, hoping that I can invent my own recipe one day
