more on my studies,” Ge said.
Ge Jinyuan enjoys talking during lunch and dinner with her meal “dazi”. “We are both crazy about delicious food so we always share our views on the canteen food and look for some other fine food,” said Ge. “If my meal “dazi” doesn’t go to school some day, I’ll be sad for the rest of the day,” her “dazi”, Li Xin, added. “She is outgoing, so am I. That’s why we are always together.”
What’s more, having a “dazi” may bring some unexpected (意想不到的) results. “Once, my game “dazi” and I made a mistake when playing a game, but we worked together to correct
it. By this, I find that I have a better understanding of teamwork!” Shi said.

One possible version：
Hi, everyone! I am happy here to share our experience in making a video of Sharing My Hometown. To start with, we had a discussion and designed a plan carefully. After that, we tried to collect information in different ways. For example, some of us interview our elders. The elders told us stories about traditional food and famous people. Other group members searched some pictures in the past on the Internet. Moreover, we also read some books about the history of our hometown. Then, we made an English video. Luckily, the video was one of the best works to introduce our hometown.
We learned a lot from this experience. Above all, we now understand our local culture better. We are proud of our hometown. In addition, our English has improved greatly. Last but not least, we’ve realized how important good teamwork is!
Thanks for your listening!
