Homes) are destroyed to make way for human dwellings. The loss of these plant and animal

1. Do animals play an important role in your country's economy?
Definitely. Both the agricultural and the food sectors depend on animals. I know that in the
countryside there are many pig farms, as well as chicken and duck coops (=farm buildings). We rely
on these animals to feed the large population in the cities. In addition, it is possible to find a lot more
dairy cattle throughout the country than it was 10 years ago.
2. What are the living conditions of farm animals like in your country?
I am not an expert, and I have never spent that much time on a farm, but I think that the living
conditions of animals are not so great, mainly because animals don't have so much space. Space on
a farm is usually limited, and just outside my city, I have seen birds like ducks and chickens fenced
in together (= caged in) by the thousand.
3. What industries are important in your country?
Well, China is a huge country, so there is a great variety of industries, which play an essential
role in our economy. I believe that the manufacturing industry plays a key role in our Chinese
economy. I can think of the heavy industries, which are mostly located in the north around Beijing,
Tianjin, and Henan Province. These industries produce metals, machines and cars. You know that
the car business is booming in China at the moment. In addition, there are the light industries, with
factories that produce different materials such as cotton, silk and paper. I am from Fujian Province,
and my area is famous for its shoe industry. There is a place near Xiamen where you can find
hundreds of shoe factories: they manufacture sneakers, leather shoes, boots, high-heels, everything.
I should not forget the agricultural industry either, because China counts 30 million farmers who
support our economy. They grow vegetables, fruit, livestock, as well as cereals such as rice, corn,
wheat and barley. What's more, the service industry is growing larger every year, with tons of people
working in banks, government, tourism, retail, education...
