日 22:15:30 你要去中國嗎？上個月我在中國西安住了一個月，今天剛回來。在西安又 可以學習又可以工作，還交了很多中國朋友。
我在西安語言學校的漢語班學習漢語
，也在英語班教
英語，他們都很喜歡我。因為我是澳大利亞人，他們都叫我 大利。我在西安的的時候，住在王漢家。王漢今年六十五歲
，
平常一個人住。他有一個兒子住在澳大利亞。他說要我住在 他的家是因為想念他的兒子，所以不要我的錢。王漢每天早上去公園和朋友說說笑笑，中午跟大家一起 吃飯，下午買菜回家做好吃的東西給我吃，還有每個星期天 帶我去很多好玩的地方，真的很高興。
我覺得王漢是一個很有愛心和友好的老先生。生活得很 開心，他說如果有人要去西安學習，都可以住在他家和他做 朋友。
所以，你想去中國嗎？
