Question

Read Ben's third email below and answer the questions.

Answer

  1. He was planning to go back to the UK, but changed his mind and instead he travelled round mainland China. 
  2. He is very negative about the UK now and is quite rude about it. He criticises the weather, the food, the boring conversations about reality TV and celebrities, the service. At the same time, he’s become much more enthusiastic about Hong Kong (and mainland China): the people are more in touch with their culture, the service is incredible, people take pride in what they do, the food is incredible.
