Zhao: Erm。 I’m from Haikou, in Hainan。.
Jung:良凤江国家森林公园
Oh。 where’s that?
Zhao: It is a big island in the South China Sea, between Taiwan and Vietnam. Remember a few years ago
—that American reconnaissance plane that clashed with a Chine fighter and was forced to land in China? Hainan was where it landed.
Jung: Oh。 I do remember, Hainan。.
Dr. Haynes: Hello。 are you two Chine?
Jung: No. He’s Chine. I’m Korean.
Dr. Haynes: Oh。 What do you think of Newcastle so far? Are you ttling in all right?
Zhao: Well, it’s very nice。 I’ve already found a flatshare。 and I’m quite fortable, thanks.
Dr. Haynes: That’s good. Why did you decide to e to this part of the country to study?
Jung: Well。 everyone goes to London。 don’t you think? It’s full of foreign students! We’ll never get to know the real England there, and we’ll end up speaking our own languages as well.
Dr. Haynes: Well you could be right there. What do you think of the local accent here? Has it been causing you any problems?
Zhao: Well, I think it’s just a matter of getting ud to it, isn’t it? I am quite surprid how different the accents are in a small country like England, but I have learnt to like the
m. Just like in Chine, the northern accents are humorous, and the southern accents are, well, gentle.
Jung: Do you have problems with our accents?
Dr. Haynes: Not really。 well sometimes, actually, yes。 haha. Look。 let me introduce you to some local students here。 this is Tony Barry。 he’s from Sunderland, which is about twelve miles from here。 and Melanie Johnson。 she’s from Washington, which is about ten miles away.
Zhao: Washington!
Melanie: Yes。 haha。 that always confus foreigners. It’s the original Washington。 George Washington’s ancestors came from there.
Jung: Oh!
Tony: So, are you both Japane, then?
Zhao: No. I月经不调怎么回事
’m Chine and he’s Korean.
Tony: Oh。 sorry。 I haven’t met many people from your part of the world before. Do you lads like football?
Jung: I do! I love Chela!
Zhao: Yes。 and I like Manchester United.
Melanie: Why is it that foreigners always like tho teams?
Zhao:敝帚自珍的读音
They are famous and they always win.
Tony: Yes, but don’t you think that anyone can support a winner? I mean, here in England we think you should support your home team。 that’s why when people say they support Manchester United we know they are not actually from Manchester! The real Mancunians support Manchester City!
Jung: Well, we are foreigners. We don’t have a home team in the premier league. But I
think you are right. From now on, we should support Newcastle. Which team do you support, then?
Tony: Sunderland!
Zhao: I’ve never heard of them.
Tony: Well, everyone in Britain has! They have a long and proud history, even though they weren’t in the Premiership last ason. That’s the point, if you are from Sunderland, you love Sunderland whether they are up or down。 and not Newcastle。 [looking at Dr. Haynes]。 they’re our local rivals.
Dr. Haynes: What was that you were saying, Tony?
