经典卡片解析2： Describe a city or town you ever visited or lived in. You should say: Which city it is What is the main feature of the city What you like about it What you dislike about it. I’d like to talk about ChengDu, which is the capital of SiChuan province in southwestern China. I’ve been to the city for a couple of times on summer vacation or at spring festival to visit my uncle. He went to the city after graduation from university and has been living there since then. ChengDu is probably one of the best known metropolises in China, just like ShangHai and ShenZhen, but it’s got its own unique charm. Shanghai is a financial center, ShenZhen is a commercial and industrial center, but Chengdu is more known as a leisure and tourism capital. In China, when people talk about Chengdu, what first comes into mind is usually its gorgeous scenery, wonderful delicacies and beautiful girls. And also, the local lifestyle is envied by most people in China. The living cost in Chengdu is not very high and the pace of life is not so fast. It seems that people there don’t care so much about making money. For them, enjoying life is much more important. Maybe, that’s why they spend a lot of their time playing mahjong or enjoying delicacies. As to what I dislike about the city, well, um, it’s really difficult for me to think of anything to say, cos I really love the city. Maybe, the only thing about the city that needs improving is the roads. They’re not very well designed and a lot of them are quite old and need upgrading.
