a) GENERAL
31.Could you tell me something about your family? ( 56 )
That’s a tough question.I think we have to have the policy in China.Our population had been growing to rapidly and something drastic had to be done.Besides, the policy will give China a chance to move ahead in the world.What I mean to say is that as soon as the population growth has stabilized, China will be able to make progre in the fight against unemployment. 32.What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 78 )
That’s an interesting question.I believe the most important reason lies in fathers.They want their children to carry their name into the future.Only sons can fulfill the task.For example, in many western countries it is customary for a boy to receive his grandfather’s name.A second reason that I could mention is that parents worry about what will happen to them after they retired.They feel that when they have a son he would be able to provide for them in future.
34.Who does most of the shopping in your family? ( 58 ) My mother does most of the cooking, but my father and I will do some cooking from time to time.For example, sometimes when my mother is out the whole day doing voluntary work in our community and then my father and I will do the cooking for her.The second aspect I could tell you regarding this topic is that we often eat out.For example, often on a Friday night none of us feel like cooking, and then we visit one of the local restaurants, and have our favorite dish.
36.How does your family feel about you going abroad? ( 58 )
Yes, I am married.I got married about three years ago.I have a good husband / wife, and we are very happy together.To put it in another way you could say that we are best friends.We do not keep any secrets from one another.We had known each other for many years before we got married, so we did not have to adjust too much.For instance, I knew before marriage that he snores loudly when he turns onto his back when sleeping, but I didn’t mind.
38.Do you have any children? ( 58 )
My child’s name is Li Ao Sheng.He was born on the day that Macao became part of China again.That’s why he got the name.His nickname is Bao Bao, as we believe that he is going to become a strong man one day.40.What does your wife do? ( 58 )
My husband is a civil servant.He works for the Department of Health at a hospital near our home.He is responsible for keeping the patient records in the men’s wards.He loves his work, and is receiving a good salary, so we don’t have any serious worries.As a matter of fact we both agree that we have a lot to be thankful for.
42.Did you have a honeymoon, and if so where did you go? ( 58 )
No, not really.They knew we were going to get married.We only had to confirm the date with them to ensure that it would suit them and our families.In earlier times is was customary for the young man to get the permiion from his girlfriend’s parents before they could get married.
44.Is living together without getting married acceptable in China? ( 58 )
Definitely the latter.There are several reasons as for why I think couples should life on their own.Allow me to explain by mentioning some of them briefly.First, I believe couples should become independent as soon as poible.They should learn how to cope with the money at their disposal.Also, they should be alone as soon as poible.Generation gap can be the trigger for many quarrels between the young and old generations.46.What responsibilities should a couple take? ( 58 )
Yes, there are quite a few.After the baby is born, the father will give his wife some flowers, and take photographs of the baby and her.When the baby arrives at home, the parents will make prints of its hands and feet.The prints, together with a paintbrush made by using some of the babies hair, will be kept as souvenirs.
48.What kind of parent do you intend to be? ( 58 )
That’s an interesting question.What makes I worry most is that my children will have a very tough life.I wonder if they will have work to do since unemployment rate is so high even now.I hope that they will be happy.They will find a good spouse, have children and live together in peace and love, just like the ending of a fairy tale.50.What type of culture do you want your child to grow up in? ( 58 )
No, not really.I believe my parents raised me well and gave me a good education.If I could do the same for my child I would be happy.Maybe I would be a bit more modern.For example, I believe my parents were unreasonably strict at times.I would try and keep a balance between discipline and freedom. d) WOMAN
52.Is there any sex discrimination in China? ( 58 ) Sex discrimination against women can still be found in China though the country has tried very hard to eliminate it.One obvious example is that women who are doing exactly the same job as men are getting smaller salaries.Moreover, women are not considered for certain high level positions, say, in government.In addition, in many communities in China, women are still regarded as inferior to men.This is particularly true in the rural areas.Last but not the least, parents prefer to have a boy as opposed to a girl.This is against the nature, as it will upset the balance between men and women in China in the years to come.53.What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 58 ) That’s an interesting question.Allow me to explain myself by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe that discrimination against woman have deep roots in societies all over the world.In other words, it is not a present day phenomenon.Throughout history woman have not enjoyed the same status as men.It is only recently that woman have been filling the same positions as men in the work place.Lastly, I believe that it will take much more time to eradicate this practice.For example, as more and more woman become the sole breadwinners in families, they will have to be compensated as such irrespective of their sex.54.Should housewives be paid a salary by the government? Why? (5-8)
Yes, I believe housewives should be paid a salary by the government.Firstly, to be a housewife is a job just as any other, and one should be paid for what you are doing.Secondly, the more housewives there are, the better.For example, housewives can spend more time with their babies, and so lay the foundation of healthy relationships.
