英語角-圓桌會(huì)議 RoundTable0416 - 一個(gè)人生活，why not?
These days, whenever we enter a new place, whether office, hotel, or just a friends house the first question weask is: Is there wifi?
According to Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, the reason we ask this question is because the mobile internet is too expensive. Now he is calling for faster speeds and lower costs.
Topic 2: Is Beijing a heaven or hell for dream makers?
A popular Wechat post has described what it is like living and working in Beijing with an 8,000yuan monthly income: after paying for social insurances, rent, meals, social activities and parents living expenses, 384.9 yuan is all that's left.
People's Daily then carries an opinion piece saying while we are human possessions; we shouldn't just talk about money all the time.
