1. Has your voice ever changed?

I remember this one time when my voice changed and it was very strange. A few years ago I was very sick and contracted a chest infection (患上了肺部感染）.I was coughing (咳嗽） violently and had a very sore throat (喉咙痛）.Because of this，my voice became very hoarse and husky (沙哑的）.I sounded like a completely different person and I remember my parents found it very strange. My voice was affected in this way for a couple of weeks until the medication I took cured my chest infection.

2. Do you enjoy recording your voice and listening to it?

I find it very strange when I record my voice and then listen to it. It always seems like my recorded voice sounds so different to how I think my voice sounds when I speak. However, friends who hear my voice recorded tell me it sounds exactly like my voice. So, I am starting to get used to the sound of my recorded voice. However, I think it will always sound a little strange to me.

3. Do you like your own voice?

I am impartial about my own voice. I hear my voice every single day so it just sounds normal to me. I do not dislike my voice but I do not think it is anything special either. My voice is calm and subtle (不引人注意的），which is quite nice.

4. Does your voice sound similar to your parents?

My voice does sound quite similar to my parents. I have a very similar voice to my father and my all my life people have commented on how alike our voices sound. However, there are some *all differences. I grew up in Beijing so have a Beijing accent, in contrast, my father was raised in Shanghai, and so our voices are slightly different.
