Fanny: Hey.

 

Brian: So we're asking each other questions about our countries, and I have a couple² of questions about China for you.

 

Fanny: Sure, go ahead⁴.

 

Brian: So the first thing I was⁵ looking to know was, what's the best time to visit China? what time of year?

 

Fanny: Oh yeah, I think ... you know because China has four seasons ... it's really cold in the winter for, I mean because I come from the north part⁶ of China. So if you wanna go to China I think the best season should be summer.

 

Brian: Summertime.

 

Fanny: Summertime.

 

Brian: OK, so maybe like June or July is a good time?

 

Fanny: I think July is the best time to go, because August there will be a lot of tourists⁸ there ... so July will be the best time because you can see the best view⁹ and there will not be that crowded¹⁰.

 

Brian: Now does it rain a lot in July? I've heard there's, like, rainy seasons?

 

Fanny: In the north part ... it doesn't rain that much but in the south part it does.

 

Brian: So I should probably¹¹ bring an umbrella and a raincoat?

 

Fanny: Oh yeah, I think so.

 

Brian: OK.

 

Fanny: Which city do you want to visit?

 

Brian: Well that's actually¹² a good question. You know I've never been to China and I don't know so much about it. What would¹⁴ be the most interesting place that you can recommend¹⁵?

 

Fanny: It depends¹⁶ on what kind of view you want to see, what kind of ... you know, especially¹⁷ in the north part, there are a lot of historical¹⁸ cities like Beijing, Xian you can visit. You can see the old China because there are other ... for example there is the Summer Palace¹⁹. Have you ever¹³ heard of that?

 

Brian: I've heard of it but I don't actually know what it is.

 

Fanny: Yeah, it's just a palace which the old Chinese king¹ lived there. It's a very good place to visit because you can see the long history you know because China has a long history, so you can see that kind of thing.

 

Brian: So this is a pretty popular²⁰ tourist⁷ place ...

 

Fanny: Very popular. And also there is the Great Wall in Beijing

 

Brian: Ah³, I do know the Great Wall, I've heard of that one.

 

Fanny: Yeah, so I think a lot of foreigners²¹ are very interested²² in the Great Wall, so maybe you can go there and see ...
