On Thursday February 1st 2018, a Chinese girl came in our class. We interviewed her in English.

First, she lives in Zhuhai, it is in Guangdong, in China.

Moreover, she speaks English (it is one important language in China) and German (she has studied in Germany).

Then, she is twenty-one years old. Her name is Lena in Europe but in China, her name means ‘’thank you, poetry and rain“.

After that, her favourite chinese food is hot pot and in France, her favourite food is chocolate mousse.

Hot pot is a Chinese soup containing a variety of East Asian foodstuffs and ingredients, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock at the dining table.

Lena hasn’t got any pets because her parents don’t want to. Cats are considered as poisonous in China. Her favourite country is France but she doesn’t like Paris because she was stolen there.

Then, Lena has got two best friends, their names are Nathalie and Christophe. She has got some hobbies such as dancing and reading.

Next, Lena loves travelling. She has already travelled in Korea, Japan, Norway, Austria, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Malta, Czech Republic and France.

Finally, we talked about stereotypes. Some Chinese people eat dogs BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. Lena has never eaten dogs ! They do not eat cats.
