2. Read about this piece of England in China, then answer the true/false
questions.
English Town
The building company Hong Kong Housing is building a new suburb in
Shanghai, a city with a population of more than 15 million people. But this suburb is
not like other parts of Shanghai. It is a little piece of England. The name of the new
area is "English Town". The manager of Hong Kong Housing, Shi Guangsheng, says
many people in this area of China want to buy an English house and live in an
English town.
"This town is like Bristol or Chester. There is an English square and there are
pigeons to feed like in Trafalgar Square, London. There are four English-style pubs
and you can buy English beer to drink. There is a canal and you can row a boat
there like in Cambridge."
Are there any cricket fields? "No, there aren't any places to play cricket
because nobody in Shanghai can play this game. But there is a football stadium like
those in England. And the thing we are very proud of is our shopping street. There
are several shops where you can buy traditional English food like fish and chips or
Christmas Pudding."
The rich Shanghai businessman can do some gardening too. For with every
house in "English Town", there is an English lawn and there are long gardens with
ponds and tall hedges.
But there is one problem. The houses in this part of town cost a minimum of
$400,000!
