ReporterPlease introduce yourself first.

AtaMy name is Ata. I come from Cofrituya, Ghana. I graduated from Ghana university which is the best in my country.First, I went to Lanzhou and studied Chinese for one year. And then I was accepted by Northwest Normal University. My major is Public management.




ReporterTell us about your hobbies.

Ata: Well, I like running, playing football and travelling in China.




ReporterWhere have you been? Which is your favourite city?

Ata: I have visited Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, Gangu and Gaolan, also I went to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhuang. My favorite place is Shanghai. Because there are many foreigners and many Chinese speak great English. Over there, I could make lots of friends. The environment in Shanghai is wonderful. There are lots of amazing and unique buildings. As for Shenzheng, I think the development of electrical products is very fast. There are many interesting places in Gansu. For example, I went to Mogao Grottoes and climbed the Great Wall. The elephant mountain in Gansu is very beautiful. I think every travel means something to me. Thats why I like traveling. When I was a freshman, I took part in the sport meeting at school, and took a second place in 800 meters racing.
