Stage I

I: Good morning my name is Jancy. Could you tell me your full name, please?

C: My name is Xiao Ying. But you can call me Margaret.

I: That’s great and who gave you that name?

C: My former English teacher gave that to me. She said I reminded her of Margaret Thatcher².

I: Interesting. Can you tell me where you are from?

C: Sure. I am from Beijing.

I: May I see your identification³ please?

C: Here you go.

I: Now just to start out, I’d like to ask a few questions about you. Are you currently⁴ working or are you a student?

C: I am currently a student at University.

I: Right and what is your major?

C: My major is in Engineering⁵.

I: Why did you choose to study engineering? Did you make the choice by yourself?

C: Well in a way but I was also steered⁶ that way by my parents. They wanted me to have a good technical job.

I: Well, even though you were influenced by them, do you still like your major?

C: Yes I do. An engineer is a creator⁷ and a manager at the same time. I like learning⁸ about how to solve new problems.

I: Is there anything about your major that you don’t particularly like?

C: Well at times I found it a bit tedious⁹, because you have to study a lot of technical terms and information.

I: Well how about when you are not studying. Let’s now talk about what you like doing in your spare time? Do you have any hobbies and interests?

C: Yes one thing I enjoy doing is playing bridge.

I: Really I didn’t know Bridge was popular in China. How did you got yourself interested in this game?

C: Well I learned¹⁰ it, actually, when I was a teenager. My uncle had learned it while he was a college student and he enjoys playing it quite regularly¹¹. So whenever he came to our house, he would play with my father and mother. And one day he allowed me to join them.

I: When you do get time off from school during your holidays, what do you usually do?

C: Uh, well different things. I mean, sometimes, I go traveling. I think the main thing I try to do is to catch up on sleep.

I: You say you sometimes go traveling. Well let’s talk about a little bit about traveling and transport. If you are going on a long trip, how do you prefer to travel?

C: To tell you the truth, I’m a bit scared of planes, and of course they are more expensive. So I guess my favorite way is to go by train, so long as the train is not too crowded.

I: In your country what do people prefer using for long trips?

C: Planes are getting more popular, but the problem is that they are still so expensive. Of course, a train is still the most effective way. A lot of people are using rented car and vans now. But you sometimes need permission to drive from one place to another.

I: Has transportation¹² changed much in the past 20 years?

C: Well in China people are very crazy about cars and so if you go to any major city in China, you will see a lot more cars on the road than there were ever used to be.
