Study the text by following these steps:
- Before reading the text in Chinese characters and the translation, first listen to the audio recording several times, trying to gather as much information as possible.
- Then read the text in Chinese characters several times without looking at the English translation. Try to find the meaning of unfamiliar words and expressions from what you know about the Chinese characters.
- Finally, compare the translation with the Chinese text. Some expressions must still seem difficult or even incomprehensible to you. You must then go to the next step: "Analysis of text".

I live in Beijing
My name is Li Liang, I am French. I live in China for three years. I really like China. I rarely return to France. I work in an American Apple Store in Beijing. In front of this store there is a Xiaomi store. Behind there is a taxi rank. There is also a train station. There are a lot of customers shopping. An American who works with us has his whole family living here. His son and daughter also attend local high school.
We work five days in a week. We go to the store at 9 o'clock. We eat at noon and come home at 5 p.m. Before going to sleep, I like to watch TV a bit and read some books in Chinese. On Sundays, when it's not hot, I go out with my little dog. When it rains, I call my friends to go drink tea at the tearoom.
