E: I'm sorry?
S: I study English there.
E: What will you do with your degree after you’ve finished?
S: I would … since my degree is actually a double degree, which includes an Education degree, I'll probably go into the education field and be a teacher at local schools and teach English.
E: And let's talk about free time activities. What do you like to do in your free time?
S: In my free time, I tend to watch movies to make myself feel more relaxed. And recently I have been watching a TV series called Bones, which is about forensic science and it has been quite entertaining for me and keeping me quite … entertaining during these difficult times.
E: Do you prefer to spend most of your free time indoors or outdoors?
S: I like to spend most ... I prefer to spend most of my free time indoors, because I'm not really an outdoorsy person, I don't enjoy outdoor activities. However, I do enjoy indoor activities such as, reading, as I mentioned, watching movies and TV series and that sort of thing.
E: What did you like to do in your free time when you were a child?
S: When I was a child, I read a lot more than I do now. I read a lot of … I used to read a lot of Andrew, Andrew Colvin’s books, which were quite suitable for my age. And also I sometimes watch some TV, YouTube videos of the Disney movies and that sort of thing.
E: What do you plan to do in your free time this weekend?
S: For this weekend I ... if I’ve got free time, I would probably re-watch some of the TV series I watched, or maybe I'll pick up a new book and read it. I've got quite a few actually. I wanted … I just bought the book of The Hound of the Baskervilles for the Sherlock Holmes … from Sherlock Holmes series so that I would like to read that.
E: Let's talk about travel. Do you like to travel?
S: Of course, I love traveling. I actually plan to travel last summer, but due to the COVID-19 situation, I couldn't travel, but if I was to travel, I would like to travel to London.
E: Where the tourists who come to your country like to go?
S: Tourists who come to my country would like to go to a lot of shopping areas like, for example, Causeway Bay, which is a more prominent shopping area and also Cen, Central because Central is one of the business hubs in Hong Kong and a lot of … there are also a lot of shopping malls and a lot of history to be discovered so, these two places would be where the tourists would like to go when they come to Hong Kong.
E: Is traveling abroad popular in your country?
S: Sure, traveling abroad is quite popular in Hong Kong because Hong Kong people are rather well-off so basically, they can afford to travel to other places. So … and also Hong Kong people led quite a high stress life, so if we've got a chance to travel, we usually tend to travel somewhere else.
