  • Now in this first part, I'd like to ask you some more questions about yourself. OK?

  • OK.

  • What do you do when you have a holiday?

  • Well mostly when I have a holiday I use

  • it for sleeping and play sports with my friends.

  • Where do you like to spend your holidays?

  • Well I like to spend my holidays at home for most of the time because I like

  • sleeping till like 2 p.m., and afterwards I will play computer

  • games with like ... with my friends or play sports in the sports centre with my friends.

  • Can you describe a typical day in your holiday?

  • Well, the typical day would be ... me waking up at 1 p.m., then have lunch, eat at home and

  • then turn on the computer to see if the friends are online and play computer

  • games with them and then maybe about 4 to 5 p.m. in the afternoon I will go out

  • and play badminton with my friends, and at night, maybe just go home and help cook dinner, yeah.

  • Why are holidays important to you?

  • Well, holidays are important to me, especially those with a theme like the

  • Chinese Lunar New Year, which is kind of my main income from the 'red pockets', and

  • some are ... some other holidays like ... some other holidays give me a chance to take

  • a break from the exhausting schedule of university.

  • If you could take a holiday anywhere in the world where would you like to go?

  • Well, if I have a holiday, I would like to go to Taiwan, because the place is

  • beautiful and more importantly I can speak Mandarin and I can read their

  • languages, so it is easier for me and my friends to ... visit such

  • a place

  • so that we don't worry about ourselves and it is beautiful really, yeah.

  • Now, let's go on to places to go in your free time.

  • What do people in your town do in their free time?

  • Well, mostly the people in my town go to malls and do shopping in their free time

  • because they don't have that time when they're working and there are always

  • promotion sales in holidays so sometimes even I and my family go visit the malls

  • in holiday, yeah.

  • Where can they go for entertainment?

  • Well ... there are always cinema in the malls so that after or before the shopping

  • they could ... they could watch a movie first and then grab a bite in the mall and

  • then do shopping or buy dinner, and they may end the day with just being in mall, yeah.

  • What do you prefer? Eating in restaurants or eating at home.

  • Well for me I don't like cooking and my cooking is bad so that I prefer eating

  • outside rather than eating in home and it is not that expensive eating in a

  • restaurant in Hong Kong so I'd prefer eating outside, yeah.

Now in this first part, I'd like to ask you some more questions about yourself. OK?
