7、;s right.Interviewer: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in theU.S.?Yu Hong: Oh, That's not an easy question to answer. There are so many things really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don't have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but

8、that's not the same thing In Chinaz on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn't the same here.Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home?Yu Hong: Oh, that's easy, my mom's soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mother's cooking.l.A: Hey! Are these

9、 pictures of you when you were a kid?B: Yeah! That's me in front of my uncle* s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer.A: Wowz I bet that was fun!B: Yeah. We always had a great time Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach I have a great sh

10、ell collection. In factthink it s still up in the attic!A: Hey, I used to collect shells, tooz when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!2.A: You know what I remember most about growing up?B: What?A: Visiting my grandparent' s house. you know; on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in t

11、he country and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent7 s house And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.B: Ah, memories!l.A: Why is there never a bus when you want o

12、ne?B: Good question. There aerf t enough buses on this route.A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.B: Good idea You should say that we need more subway lines, too.A: Yeah There should be more public transportation in general.B: And fewer cars! There' s too much trafficA: Say, is

13、 that our bus coming?B: Yes, it is. But look. It' s full!A: Ohz no! Letz s go and get a cup of coffee We can talk about this letter r m going to write.2.A: So you are really going to write a letter to the paper?B: Sure I m going to say something about the buses. They' re too old. We need mor

14、e modern buses. nice air-conditioned onesB: And they need to put more buses on the road.A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isrf t enough parki ng.B: That s for sure. Itz s impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.A: I think they should ban private cars downtown b

15、etween nine and five.B: Ohz you mean they shouldrf t allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm. that sounds like a really good ideal. Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example； motorists must buy a special pass if the

16、y want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the nu

17、mber of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also a high tax on carsz so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or CanadaThe other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their

18、subway system is one of the best in the world.And there is also a very good taxi and bus systeml.A: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is?B: There1 s one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.A: Ohz thanks. Do you know what time it opens?B: It should be open now. It opens at 8:OOA.MA: Go

19、od And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?B: You need to check at the transportation counter. Itz s right down the hall.A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?B: Right behind you, ma' am. See that sign?A: Oh. Thanks a lot.2. A: Excuse me. It

20、' s me again. I" m sorry. I need some more information if you dorf t mi nd.B: Not at all.A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?B: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars A: Forty dollars? I guess Y II take the bus. That means I

21、 have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?B: Go upstairs and turn right. You' II see the snack bar on your left.A: Thanks very much Have a nice day.B: You, too.l. A: What do you think?B: Well, it has just as many

22、bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is hugeC: But the bedrooms are too small. And there isrf t enough closet space for my clothes.A: And if s not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.B: But that apartment was dark and dingy.
