If you are doing business about electronics today, you are sure to know about Shenzhen. For me, I am     1     Indian. My company     2     (success) sold the products made in Shenzhen in India, and that brought me to Shenzhen.

Shenzhen is one of China’s Special Economic Zones (经济特区) set up in the 1980s. It has grown to be a city famous     3     electronic products. Shenzhen is a modern city. You can get around in a taxi,     4     using metros or buses is much cheaper and more convenient. I visited only parts of Futian, Nanshan, and Luohu districts during my stay.

The     5     (one) place I visited in Shenzhen was the shopping area     6     sells almost all kinds of electronics at reasonable prices. In the evening, I hung out with my friends in that area and had great fun     7     (speak) to folks from the US, Germany, Australia and other     8     (country). In a word, we     9     (impress) deeply.

Although my trip was short, my visit to Shenzhen gave me a much     10     (clear) picture of this city. I am looking forward to my next visit!
