F: What’s the most exciting thing you’ve done in London?
W3: The most exciting thing I’ve done in London recently is to see Oasis live. I went to the Roundhouse and it was the most amazing concert. It was free, so we ended up having nice passes, so we were close to the band and it was incredible. It’s the best thing I think I’ve seen in a long time.
W2: I’ve been to the theater quite a lot in London. I went to see Waiting for Godot at the National.
W5: I’ve recently been to Hampton Court, which is a royal palace most famously known for being the place where King Henry Viii lived, and a few of his wives that made it there.
M3: I… I think Tate Modern is the best place I’ve been to, you know, because it’s … it’s different every time… Um, you know, they really push the boundaries of, you know, the displays, compared to a lot of the traditional museums and art galleries in London.
M5: The best thing I’ve ever done was watching a gig in Hyde Park for my cousin’s birthday.
W4: The most exciting thing I’ve done in London? Um, I’ve watched England play football at Wembley – that was quite exciting.
M2: Just this weekend, we were in er, Brixton, in Brockwell Park, and there was a country fair going on and just the characters in the crowd were just absolutely fantastic.
M4: I’ve done a lot of interesting things. I’ve had a lot of good experiences here but probably the best thing was when I went to Wimbledon this year. Um… I got to watch … I got to watch Andy Murray on Center Court. I managed to get tickets to that. And it was just a really good atmosphere and it was a good example of, sort of, British culture and sport.

1. Recently, I visited Beijing. Beijing is a wonderful city with many great things to do and see. I went to the National Center for the Performing Arts to see a famous musical. It was a wonderful show. And I visited the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube, two important Venues of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. I also went to the Tian’anmen square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Peking University, and the Summer Palace. But the most exciting thing I did there was visiting the Great Wall – the view was breathtaking!

2. Yes, I have been to London. I loved it. The museums are wonderful, especially the British Museum, which was established in 1753 and is one of the largest and most comprehensive museums in the world. I also enjoyed riding in the London Eye, a giant observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames. /No, I haven’t been to London. If I have a chance to go to London, I would like to see places I have heard so much about , such as Tower ridge, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. I would also like to take the Tube as the London underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world. Besides, I hope to visit some of the 2012 London Olympic Games venues.

This happened in Australia… when I was about 25. I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk… in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked… and then I realized I didn’t really know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really… because I decided to go further… I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um…anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them… There was a group – maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er… um, I …I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze, like a statue… I didn’t move… and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking… I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn't move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few more minutes and then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most frightening experience I’ve ever had!

When I was 12 years old and just graduated from elementary school, I went to Beijing with my dad to see the 2008 Olympic Games. I loved basketball team playing and I especially wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we were about to leave, a man came to us and said he had an extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What a wonderful experience.

1. Yes, I have been to a wedding. It was the wedding of my best friend’s sister. I enjoyed it very much because there was a lot of delicious food and I met a lot of friends there.
2. Yes, I do. First, there is the ritual of bowing at traditional Chinese weddings. The bride and the groom bow to show their respect first to Heaven and Earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other. Second, there is always a huge wedding banquet. Family members and friends are invited to the wedding banquet. A huge amount of food is served along with liquor and wine. Third, the red color is used to create a happy atmosphere. Colors play a significant role in Chinese culture, both then and now. red is the traditional wedding color as it signifies joy, love, and prosperity. The color is dominant throughout the wedding ceremony: The bride wears red clothes, guests give money in red envelopes, and there are red decorations everywhere at the wedding.
3. I know almost nothing about Greek weddings, but I know there is a movie called My Big Fat Greek Wedding. From the name, I can assume there must be a lot of food and a lot of people at the wedding.

1. I really like the Greek wedding style. I like the music and the dance very much. I can tell how excited people are and how much they enjoy the occasion. At a Greek wedding people can gather together with their family, relatives, and friends, and fully enjoy music, dance, food and drink. / Not really. I don’t particularly like big noisy weddings. I prefer a smaller and quieter wedding. I would rather just invite my family and a few close friends to my wedding.
2. I definitely like the modern Chinese wedding most because it not only has some traditional elements such as the red color, traditional wedding outfits, and the ritual of bowing, but also contains Western elements, including champagne, wedding rings, and a wedding cake. /I actually prefer not to have a wedding ceremony. I would like to have a honeymoon instead. Getting married should only involve two people. I hope I can enjoy the happiness without being disturbed by others. Another important reason why I want to skip the wedding is that preparing for a wedding is such a huge, exhausting, and time-consuming project. I don’t want anyone to get into this kind of trouble.
