Today, during class, we got to do some research on the Chinese trivia. We have also learned a song:  the song we learned: wo de peng you zai na li. 

Also, starting next class, we are going to " visit" China by following a couple of famous chef as they explore China to find delicacies. In order to help you to get a better understanding about China and Chinese culture, you need to do a research project on each of the places the TV series covers.  Next class, I am going to divide this class into four small groups, so you can work and collaborate with each other in doing the presentation. You can use word document, but I strongly encourage you to do it in ppt because it helps you to present well. You have two classes' time to finish your research and presentation.

So, today's homework is to start your initial research about Beijing. You don't need to present anything yet, but I will you encourage you to start looking for the following information:

 1. General geographical information about  Beijing: where is it? what are some special characteristics about Beijing, such as population, size, weather, transportation system, history, specific events that took place in Beijing.

 2.Name at least five most famous sightseeing in Beijing.  Provide brief introduction

3.Find five famous dishes/cuisines in Beijing.  Provide brief introduction.

Here is a sample of ppt presentation for your reference,  provided by a group of students from Quarter1, 方明玄。
