Track 23.

1. Where were you born?

I was born in Dubai, in the Middle East.

It is situated on the north-east coast of the United Arab Emirates.

1. Where did you grow up?

I was born in a small village in China, but I grew up in Chengdu, which is a very big city in south-west China.

1. Has your home town changed much since you were a child?

In the last ten years Baku has changed a lot.

Ten years ago we didn’t have so many tall buildings and there wasn’t as much to do then.

The biggest problem is that everything is more expensive now.

1. Is there anything that you used to do in your home town that you don’t do now?

Well, I used to go to the beach every summer when I was younger, but now I don’t have time.

One summer, I even went fishing.

I’d like to do that again.

Perhaps I’ll have time next summer, after my exams.
