　　My hometown is Suzhou, which is an ancient city with a history of 2500 years. It is located in the southeast of China. Suzhou is famous for its classical gardens such as lingering garden, which has exquisite pavilions and man-made hills. What's more, Suzhou is also the paradise of foodies. You can try different types of food such as plum pastries⁵ and other Suzhou style pastries. That's the reason why I love my hometown.

　　2) Is there anything you dislike about it?

　　Well, let me think about it. Perhaps the traffic is a troublesome issue in my hometown currently. I mean, my hometown has gone through remarkable changes in recent years. There is a growing population in the city; consequently, it causes the overload of the traffic. Although two metro⁶ lines have been put into use and released the public traffic load to some extent, the construction of other infrastructure on some arterial streets is still a big problem.

　　3) Do you think you will continue living there for a long time?

　　Yes, I think I will continue to live there for the rest of my life. Local born and local bred, Suzhou is the place where my happy childhood memories reside. You know, I really like my hometown; it is a beautiful city with ancient history. People there are very friendly. What's more, it's the place where my parents and friends live. I can't imagine a place without them being near around.
