Unit 1 Where's your pen pal from? 文化背景知识介绍 广东省教育厅教研室 In a western country, a person's neighborhood refers to the area around where they live. A westerner asked to describe his or her neighborhood will usually talk about the shops, landmarks, buildings, streets and parks around where they live. If you were to ask someone, "What's your neighborhood like?" they would probably answer by giving an evaluative judgment. For example, "It's really nice," or "It's quite quiet." Because westerners like Chinese live in so many different areas, it's hard to generalize about what would constitute a neighborhood. For someone living in a city, it might mean the streets, subway stations, library, and parks. For someone living in a more rural area, it might just mean their neighbor's houses. (责任编辑：admin) |
