Title for a narrative??? (narrative included)?


I cannot think of a title!!! this was origionally an interview.

鈥淕oing online, playing cards, hanging out with friends, shopping, and singing karaoke,鈥?She replied when asked how she spent a typical day. 鈥淭here are four members in my family, my parents, my younger brother, and me,鈥?she said when asked about her family. I was confused for a moment, considering most families in Shanghai only have one child because of the one child policy. She explained that when she was a baby, she was very sick and the doctors didn't know if she would live. They told her parents that they could have another child. Obviously, Jia Jia lived.

Jia Jia continued to tell me about her family. Her dad was a driver, her mom was a worker. She and her brother are both in college, though he is two years younger than her. She is a junior at Shanghai Normal University where she majors in Tourism. When I moved on to the topic of travel, her face lit up. She had been around China and decided that she liked Ningbo the best because of the beach. Jia Jia explained that she wanted to travel internationally more than anything. This made me realize how lucky I was, having traveled to so many places. She wanted to go to places such as the USA, Morocco, Japan, Korea, Canada, and Singapore. She also mentioned that she wouldn't mind living in Singapore, though she might want to continue living in China. One problem with this, she said unhappily, is that in China, its often hard to get a visa.

Being a twenty-two year old girl, Jia Jia says her favorite thing about Shanghai is the shopping. She works as a Mandarin tutor for a part time job, actually she is my Mandarin tutor. Whenever she comes to my house for lessons, she will be sporting a new pair of cute shoes or a new trendy top. Apart from the bustling and modernized streets of the city, Jia Jia also enjoys the traditional festivals and how kind the people are in China. On the other hand, she believes that the education style could be better.

Lastly, I asked about the cultural revolution, knowing that it would be a touchy subject. She quickly explained that she didn't know much about it, and her parents don't usually talk about it.

When I think about it, I realize that her life isn't that different from mine in the United States. Other than the fact that she's from a big city and I'm from a small town and we have different backgrounds, we share interests and dreams. I also enjoy going on lin,e hanging out with friends, shopping, and playing cards. I love to travel and would like to visit every continent. It's amazing how people living on opposite sides of the world, from different cultures and beliefs can be so similar.
