Have a look at the transcript if you didn't quite catch something:

May I see your ID? Here you are. Where are you from? I am from a city in China. Itā€™s about an hourā€™s drive outside of Shanghai. What is the name of your hometown? Itā€™s called Suzhou. There is actually more than one Suzhou in China. Mine is the one in Jiangsu province. What are some important features of your hometown? Well, like many cities in China, Suzhou is very old and has several ancient landmarks, such as the Humble Administrator Garden, which I believe is about a thousand years old now. We also have a district that is made up entirely of a network of canals. The area is understandably sometimes referred to as the ā€˜Venice of the Eastā€™. We also have a growing business district lined with skyscrapers, so I think a central feature of Suzhou is its blend of historical sites and contemporary architecture. Can you describe your home? I live in a simple one-bedroom apartment that has a large window in the living room with a view of the sunset. I really like the colour green, so I think most of the furniture has at least a little green in it. I also have several houseplants which help keep my apartment feeling fresh. Letā€™s talk about sports. What kind of sports do you like? Iā€™m actually not a big sports person. Once in a while, Iā€™ll play football with my friends in the park or hit a birdie back and forth with a badminton racket, but thatā€™s about it. I do a lot of walking either on my own or with a friend, so if that counts I would say thatā€™s my favourite sport. Do you watch live sports? I do but only when a really exciting sporting event is happening. For example, when the World Cup is on, I watch many of the matches live. I occasionally catch a Formula 1 race live too, but I donā€™t watch it enough to know much about the teams or drivers. I went to several basketball matches in Shanghai when I was a teenager, and I think these are the only live sporting events Iā€™ve seen in person. Do you think sport audiences today have changed compared to the past? Yes, in many ways they have. In the past, sporting audiences were very localised. What I mean is you watched and discussed a sporting event with your friends or family, whereas now people watch sports streamed live online and discuss whatā€™s happening with international viewers from around the world. I recently saw a sports commentator that was streaming his comments live while interacting with viewers from around the world. This is a clear difference compared to the past. However, I would say the audienceā€™s spirit and passion for the game hasnā€™t changed, and I donā€™t think it ever will.
