•I hear it's beautiful/hot/expensive there.
•How do you like it here?

*Learners often say "I come from..." instead of "I'm from...". Native speakers use "come from" for things or animals, not people: The toys come from China. Milk comes from cows.
*英语学习者常常会说"I come from..."而不是"I'm from..."，但事实上英语国家的人将"come from"用于东西或动物身上，不用于人。例如：The toys come from China. 这些玩具来自中国。Milk comes from cows. 牛奶是奶牛产的。
