hello...

I have an oral exam for my chinese class and....I am trying to prepare for it...

There are 7 topics....We have to tell a short story about one topic which was assigned to us.....I am trying to write the stories for each of them in advance, but I would like to know more about types of the grammer and usage I can use in my stories....

1. A wonderful trip

2. Transportation Issues

3. Get injured/ Get Sick

4. A Person's features

5. Once I lost my wallet

6. What do I think of Hong Kong

7. Safety Issues (either transportaion problems or lifestyle)

Is there any stories about those similar topics out there? The stories need not to be complicated...just simple and straight forward.....

Is there any website which features those kind of stories?...

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!!!

1. A wonderful trip 一次糟糕的旅行

Have you ever experience some trips that disatisfied you? so, try to recall it.

you can begin like this:

去年某月某日，我去某地旅游，在旅游景点购物时被人多收了钱，或在小饭店吃饭时对服务不满意等；

etc, there are many examples

2. Transportation Issues 交通问题

this topic are so easy to say , the transportation is bad in cities of China, especially in BeiJing. You can say:"我经常在路上遇到塞车，中国的色车问题太严重了。有一次，我在北京西直门立交桥被堵了2个小时。而且，经常看到路人横穿马路，很多城市的行人不遵守交通规则 等等。"

3. Get injured/ Get Sick 受伤或生病

你可以说你生病时收到中国朋友的照顾，也可以说你生病时一个人在外的无奈等

4. A Person's features 一个人的特征

there are many Chineses around you. You can describe one of them such as your Chinese teacher, your friends etc

5. Once I lost my wallet 有次我掉了我的钱包

你可以说你掉了钱包，被一个中国青年捡到了，他/她想尽办法找到了你，然后你们成了

很好的朋友；

6. What do I think of Hong Kong 你觉得香港怎么样？

just say what you think of Hong Kong, the peole, the scene, the Transportation and the lifestyle (香港的人， 风景、交通，和生活方式等）

7. Safety Issues (either transportaion problems or lifestyle) 安全问题（交通或生活方式）

可以参照前面的

For question 1, it's not "一次糟糕的旅行", it shall be "一次愉快的旅行", means a happy trip.

The other suggestions are very good.
