12. What places in your hometown do you like best?
　　There are many places that I like. If I had to choose one place, I would like to tell you about Government Square. Firstly, it is the largest square in Shenyang. What I mean is that it is a large open space where one can see the sky clearly, and feel free. Secondly, it houses an important government building. I guess you could call it the City Hall.
　　13. What are the main crops in your region?

For example, here are many heavy industries manufacturing anything from aircraft and automobiles to machine tools.
　　14. What is the difference between your hometown and Beijing / Hong Kong?
　　The main difference between Shenyang and Hong Kong is the climate. For example, there they have a tropical climate. That is to say that it is very hot and humid. Here in Shenyang we have cold winters and hot summers. Secondly, Shenyang is an industrial city, whereas Hong Kong is more a financial center. That is to say, here we have many factory workers, or to be more exact, family-orientated workers who are not very wealthy, and in Hong Kong there are many tycoons, millionaires, and wealthy people.

Although cities like Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai are larger than my hometown Shenyang, they all are bustling with industrial and cultural activities. Maybe Hong Kong is an exception, as it is better known as one of the most important financial capitals of the world.
　　15. What are the people like in your hometown?
　　15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown?
　　Well, they aren’t any different from the people in any other large city. For example, here we also have good and bad people. Secondly, like everyone else, they are trying to work out a good life for themselves and their children. For example, parents are trying all they can to ensure that their children receive a good education.

　　Well, they aren’t any different from the inhabitants in any other large city. For example, here we also have many wholesome families as well as our share of criminal elements in the society. In addition, I believe that my hometown has not been westernized to the same extent as a city like Hong Kong. For example, in Shenyang the people have not become materialistic to the same extent as the inhabitants of Hong Kong. In other words, in Shenyang you would still find many good old-fashioned (traditional) people who have strong principles and values about many aspects of life.
