To Yankee
Could you tell me your full name please?
And what should I call you?
- just call me Liu, or xxx, my English name.
What's the most interesting part of your hometown?
- well, the most interesting part I think is the Giant Panda Reserve, where they keep a lot of giant pandas. Actually, the area is the natural habitat of the giant pandas. But in the center itself, they pick up and treat those which have fallen ill in the wilderness. Many famous people and celebrities have donated to the treatment and conservation of giant pandas.
Is there anything you don't like in your country?
- uh, yes. It rains a lot there. As a matter of fact, it's well known as a "Rainy City". There are the average annual rainfall can reach 1,200mm. Sometimes, it can get very muddy and cause inconvenience to the local people.
How was your hometown changed in the past few years?
- A lot of changes have taken place in my hometown recently. A good example is the construction of Chengdu Ya's——an expressway which actually links up the two cities. You can travel back and forth between the two cities very easily, making it an ideal place to live in. It used to take 4 to 5 hours to travel to Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province. As a result, its poor transportation system hindered the economic development. Besides, many high-rise buildings have sprung up(萌芽) along the river.
What type of clothes do you wear at work?
- Well, mostly, I have to wear formal clothes at work, such as a uniform and a suit(衬衫). There is very strict regulation as to(关于) what we should wear at work. But after work, I prefer to wear casual clothes which are more comfortable and relaxing.
It is important for people to wear formal clothes at work?
- Yes I think so. By wearing formal clothes, we show respect to our clients. Above all, it's the company's image as people always associate(联想) a company with what the staff wears. It also shows that we are serious in dealing with other people.
Can we judge a person by what he or she wears?
- Well, I don't think so. Though many believe that clothes can be a symbol today, I don't think clothes can mean everything. Some people may like to wear their designer coats, but it doesn't follow that(并不是这样的) they are wealthy or hold high social positions. It simply means that they can afford this type of clothes. Likewise(同样地), some successful or outstanding people may just wear some simple clothes. So, in my opinion, there's no justification whatsoever for judging a person by his appearance only.
Should we fall slave to fashion?
- Absolutely not. You see, fashion change very quickly. Something that is in style this year may go out of style the next. The fashion industry has been so successful in persuading people to buy new fashionable clothes. However, it's just a kind pf art, enriching our lives. Personally, I think it's a waste of time and money.
