SAMPLE QUESTION: "
Tell me something about your hometown?"
Well, I come from Taipei and I have lived here all my life.
I’d like to begin
by saying that it's the capital of Taiwan and also the cultural center.
On
top of that I can also add that It's very crowded, maybe even one of most
congested cities in Asia I guess. The roads are so jammed that even the
locals have problems finding their way around!
Finally, I’d also like to
mention that it offers splendid examples of contemporary architecture.
Actually some of the most renowned landmarks are in the middle of Taipei,
such as Taipei 101, the second tallest building in the world.
