Guide: This is Section One. It tells the history of Hainan. Here I'd like to remind you of the major development phases that Hainan has experienced since 1978 when China carried out its opening and reform policy. In 1988, Hainan was established as a province and the largest special economic zone of China. In 1999, Hainan began to build into an ecological province. In 2010, a plan to make Hainan an International Tourism Island was implemented. In 2018, a freet trade zone (FTZ) was set up in Hainan.
這是第一部分，主要講述的是海南的歷史。在這兒我想提醒大家的是，自1978年中國改革開放以來，海南經歷的幾個重要發展階段。1988年海南建省，成為中國最大的經濟特區；1999年海南開始建設生態省；2010年海南實施建設國際旅遊島戰略；2018年海南建立自由貿易區。

文化知識小貼士
英語國家的人一般來說很重視個人的隱私（privacy），不願意別人過問個人的事。在對外交流中，不管在什麼情況下，都應避免提問或談論與個人隱私相關的問題，以免引起文化衝突。但在有些情況下，如在海關、醫院、酒店、籤證機關，需要了解一些外國人的情況，則應先告知對方並說明理由。可以用這句話告知外國人：「For registration purposes, I need certain information. Would you mind telling me about...(age, marital status, religion, etc.)?
小鄧和Ruth以前不認識，他們剛剛在一次聚會上相識，下面是他們的對話，請分析一下是否有不妥當的地方。

Xiao Deng: Oh, I see. When are you planning to start your family?
