Last summer, I began the biggest adventure of my life. I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the 1 cities in the world. As the plane 2 in Beijing, one of the first things I did was to 3 one of the city's hutongs. Walking around the 4 street,the warm air was filled with the 5 of delicious food as people played mahjong and 6 their old-fashioned bikes. This was the first moment I 7 ,“ Wow, I'm in China." Beijing couldn’t be more 8 from my home city, Preston, which 9 a population of just 114,000. It has one 10 street that’s around 500 metres from one end to the 11 and on Sunday, all the shops 12 at 4:00 p. m. There isn't a great deal of 13 when it comes to restaurants, either, and as a 14 of food, I couldn’t wait to see what Beijing has to 15 . I still don't have a favourite dish here yet —I’m still happily working my way through the city’s countless 16 to try to figure that out. I’m slowly getting used 17 the fast-paced lifestyle and different 18 of life. In the future, I hope to buy a motorbike and 19 from one end to the other of this beautiful city, taking photos and 20 new people along the way.
