Part 1: Building楼栋

I'm based in Zhuhai, and I live in a residential complex surrounded by similar apartment blocks, most of which are around 15 storeys high. They are fairly tall, though nowhere near as towering as the skyscrapers you would find in cities like Beijing or Shanghai.Q2.

For instance, there is the Birds Nest in Beijing and the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, both of which have very distinctive designs. In Guizhou, traditional wooden buildings like the Dong drum towers also leave a lasting impression.Q3.

I would really love to visit the Sagrada Família in Spain. From what I have heard, it was designed by a brilliant architect and is incredibly grand and artistic. If I ever get the chance to see it in person, I think it would be an unforgettable experience.Q4. Do you want to live in a tall building?核心表达Not really｜不太想（比直接 no 更自然）at least not at this stage｜至少现阶段不想living in a high rise｜住在高层inconvenient｜不方便的wait for the lift｜等电梯（lift＝电梯，英式英语常用）power cuts｜停电（一般用复数）To be honest｜说实话（用来引出真实偏好）I would much rather live in...｜我更想住在……（would much rather＝更愿意）spacious｜宽敞的make everyday life easier｜让日常生活更轻松范例答案 Not really, at least not at this stage. One reason is that living in a high rise can be a bit inconvenient, especially when you have to wait for the lift or deal with power cuts. To be honest, I would much rather live in a house with a garden, as it feels more spacious and just makes everyday life a lot easier.在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
