1. Do you walk a lot?

I try to walk as much as I can. I think walking is a good form of transport because it is both good for your health and also good for the planet. I walk to school, to the library and to visit my friends. I would say I probably spend around 30 minutes to an hour walking every day.

2. Do you walk more often than in the past?

I definitely walk more now than I did in the past. When I was a child my parents would control the way I travelled around the city. My parents liked to drive to places as they believed it was the safest and most convenient way to travel around the city. Nowadays, I prefer to walk as I am always thinking of ways that I can reduce my carbon footprint (碳排放量）.Therefore，I walk far more often now than I did in the past.

3. Do you think people will walk more or not in the future?

I think people will walk less in the future. Technology is rapidly developing and as a society we are always progressing in our methods of transportation. People prefer to take the bus or the metro to commute through the city. I think that one day we may even have technology such as hover boards (悬浮滑板）which mean we would never have to walk again.

4. Where do you usually take a walk?

I like to walk every day as I find it is a good way to clear my head and relax. I live in Beijing and it is a very large and crowded city so it is sometimes difficult to find a nice place to walk. My favourite place to go for a walk is Jingshan Park. It is a beautiful park in Beijing city full of greenery (绿色植物）and beautiful trees. I usually walk in Jingshan Park at least every other day.
