中国的家庭观念与其文化传统有关。和睦的大家庭曾非常令人羡慕。过去四代同堂并不少见。由于这个传统，许多年轻人婚后继续与父母同住。今天，这个传统正在改变。随着住房条件的改善，越来越多年轻夫妇选择与父母分开住。但他们之间的联系依然很密切。许多老年人仍然帮着照看孙辈，年轻夫妇也抽时间探望父母，特别是在春节和中秋等重要节日。
Chinese family values are related to their cultural traditions. A big harmonious family (harmonious extendedfamily) was very enviable. In the past, four generations living under one roof were not uncommon. Because of this tradition, many young people decided to live with their parents when they were married. However, this tradition is changing today. An increasing number of young couples choose to live separately from their parents as the result of better housing conditions, but their connectionsare still very close. Many senior people still help to look after their grandchildren, and young couples try their best to find time to visit their parents, especially during important festivals like the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write aletter to a foreign friend who wants to learn Chinese. Please recommend a placeto him. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
On hearing that you are searching for a place to learn Chinese, I am writing this letter to recommend the college town in my city to you.
There are several reasons why I think the college town is the best choice. First of all, the college town is home to an umber of top Chinese universities, where you can gain access to high-quality Chinese language courses. Taught by professors who speak standard Mandarin, these courses are extremely effective in boosting your listening, reading and writing skills. Besides, with many open-minded and friendly students around, you can easily make friends and practice your spoken Chinese. Another advantageis that there are many language clubs, in which you can meet people from other countries who are just as enthusiastic about learning Chinese as you. I think you can also communicate with them about the difficulties and fun in learning Chinese.
To conclude, I deem that the city college town is an ideal place for foreigners to learn Chinese. And I believe that if you take full advantage of it, your Chinese will be improved a lot.

中国汉族人的全名由姓和名组成。中文姓名的特点是，姓名总是在前，名跟在其后。千百年来，父姓一直世代相传。然而，如今，孩子跟母亲姓并不罕见。一般来说，名有一个或两个汉字，通常承载父母对孩子的愿望。从孩子的名字可以推断出父母希望孩子成为什么样的人，或者期望他们过什么样的生活。父母非常重视给孩子取名，因为名字往往会伴随孩子一生。
The full name of Chinese Hans is composed of a family name and a given name. The characteristic of Chinese names is that the family name is always followed by the given name. For thousands of years，fathers’ surnames have beenpassed down from generation to generation. Nowadays, however, it is notuncommon for children to take their mother’s surname. Generally, the given nameconsists of one or two Chinese characters, which usually carry the parents’ wishes for their children. Therefore, it can be inferred from the name what kind of person the parents expect the child to be, or what kind of life to live. Chinese parents attach great importance to naming their children, as names tend to stay with them for a whole life.
