Hi! Name is Zhaoya Zhang, and you can just call me Gina. I am so glad to take class with you guys. As a member of EDUTL106, I would love to share something about myself here, like the city I live in, my family, and my friends.

 I’m from Shanghai, China. Many people may only know this is a large city but I also think it is unique. I believe Shanghai is unique for it has been affected by western culture since the latest century. So the city is a masterpiece as it’s perfectly combined the western and eastern culture and expressed the combination in many aspects in a harmony. I love this city, it brings me surprise everywhere.

Our family live in the suburb of Shanghai. I am the only child of our family. But I never feel lonely cuz we also have 2 lovely dogs. Usually we “five” like to hang out together, go hiking or having picnic. And as I have some same interests with my parent, I never bored to spend time with them. We travel a lot in China, by car or event on foot. We all think from a trip you can learn more than the book taught you, so every journey could be a lesson for all of us. We all enjoy it ,and enjoy our life.

Without the family, being with my friends is another critical part for my spare time. Personally I regard myself as a flexible person, so I could be crazy and do whatever we can call to mind with my crazy friends or I could be quite lady and have some common hobbies with my quiet friends. However, together with all of my friends we share our different attitudes towards having fun; we always satisfied with each other and try to make some new attempt to amuse everybody in our group. They really varied my life.

So here is little things about me. Hope we can get alone well and have fun!
