JM: Today's question is what is your favorite country besides your own?

JM：今天我们要谈的话题是，除了你的祖国以外，你最喜欢哪个国家？

Phuong: OK. I really love Holland beside my own country because I think Holland is very nice country with good weather and I love it too. In Holland it is very famous for tulips so I think it's the place for me to come and also I think people in Holland are very nice and they are kind and warm, so I think that it's my favorite country beside my own country. How about you?

芳：好。除了祖国之外，我最喜欢荷兰，因为我认为荷兰是个拥有好天气的美丽国度，我也喜欢那里的天气。荷兰的郁金香闻名世界，所以我认为那是适合我去的地方，而且我认为荷兰人非常友好，他们善良又温暖，所以荷兰是除了我的祖国以外我最喜欢的国家。你呢？

JM: Yeah. A few years ago I lived there for about four or five months with my sister who lives in Toronto and it's a really, really nice place. It's a great city, people there are really, really friendly, they are very nice so I like it there. Also the weather is very cold, because I live in the Philippines so it's always hot and warm so I kind of like the really, really cold weather.

JM：对。几年以前，我在我姐姐家住了四五个月，我姐姐家在多伦多，那里的确是个非常不错的地方。多伦多是座很棒的城市，那里的人们非常非常友好，他们人很好，所以我喜欢那里。而且多伦多非常寒冷，而我生活的菲律宾一直很热，温度很高，我喜欢那种非常寒冷的天气。

Phuong: OK. Thank you.

芳：好。谢谢你。
