OK, now that we know each other we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to ask each of you to say something about life in the city.

[ C1, C2, C3 ]

1) How do you like living in Beijing ( Shanghai , Nanjing …)?

2) What do you think is the most serious challenge of living in a city like Beijing ( Shanghai , Nanjing …)?

3) How do you like shopping in a supermarket?

4) Where would you like to live, downtown or in the suburbs, and why?

5) What measures do you think we should take to reduce air pollution in Beijing ( Shanghai , Nanjing …)?

6) Can you say something about the entertainment available in your city?

7) Where would you like to find a job after graduation, in a big city like Beijing or Shanghai or in a small town and why?

8) What's your impression of the people in Beijing ( Shanghai , Nanjing …)?

Now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is “City Traffic”. You'll have a picture (some pictures) showing two different types of transport. I'd like each of you to give a brief description of each type and then compare the two types. You'll have one minute to prepare and each of you will have one and a half minutes to talk about the picture(s). Don't worry if I interrupt you at the end of the time limit. Now here are your pictures.
