J: Five years ago, when I came to China as an exchange student in Xi’an, Shanxi Province.
W: How long are you going to stay here?
J: Another three months, according to my visa valid period. But I will try to stay as long as I can.
W: Good luck! By the way, do you like the city?

W: Have you ever traveled to other cities in China before?

so important to their future development.
J: I can see that too. Actually that’s why I made my choice to become an English teacher in Suzhou.
J: Excuse me, Kevin, but I have to go for an English class. Nice talking with you!
