What represents(代表) China?
China has a long history of over 5,000 years. What could represent China in your mind?
The Great Wall represents China in my eyes. It is about 21,000 kilometers long and over 2,000 years old. There is a famous Chinese saying, "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man(不到长城非好汉). " I really hope I can visit the fantastic place in the future! Di Xinran, Shenzhen |
In my opinion, the colour red can represent China. We can see red every day in our lives, such as at weddings(婚礼), New Year, Lantern Festival and so on. But more importantly, red is the colour of the national flag of our country. Wang Jingqi, Dalian |
I think the dragon is the symbol of China. We Chinese always see ourselves as "descendants of the dragon (龙的传人)". The dragon is a magic al animal. It stands for power in China. Parents hope we can become as successful as "dragons". MaoZhanglinxi, Hefei |
China is a country. But the word also means porcelain (瓷器). I think porcelain is the symbol of China. In the past, Chinese porcelain was sold abroad. China was called "the nation of porcelain". The invention of porcelain has greatly influenced the world. Xiong Anni, Nanjing |
In China, dumplings represents happiness and reunion (团圆). Families in China always get together and make dumplings during festivals. When they make dumplings, they talk and laugh. The food brings them happiness. LiQinrui, Tianjin |
Harry and Annie lived a mile from town, but they walked there to school every day. It was a happy walk around the pond(水塘) on their way to school. In winter, when the ice was thick enough, they went across the pond. But their mother did not like them to do this. She said, "If there's no one with you, you mustn't walk across the pond. "
"Don't go across the pond today, children," she said, as she kissed them goodbye one morning. "It is beginning to thaw. "
"All right, mother," said Harry, not very happy, for he liked running and sliding(滑行) on the ice very much.
When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe.
"There," Harry said to his sister, "let's slide over it. "
"But you promised mother," said Annie.
"No, I didn't, I only said ‘All right', and it is all right. "
"I didn't say anything, so I can do what I like," said Annie.
So they got on the ice and started to go across the pond.
They had not gone far before the ice got broken, and suddenly they fell into the water.
Luckily, a man who was at work near the pond heard the children's cries. He rushed into the water and saved them successfully. Both of them were nearly drowned (淹死) before the man reached them.
They went home almost frozen(冻僵的) and learned a lesson they would remember for a lifetime.
Have you ever thought about what goes into making a cartoon? Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing(配音). To dub means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV show. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show.
For me, I've had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I've done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies, documentaries(纪录片) and more. However, my favourite ones to dub are cartoons. That's because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys.
Two of my favourite cartoons that I've dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix(《百鸟朝凤》) and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains(《愚公移山》). In the first cartoon, I got to play a silly and very proud but well—meaning blackbird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was not reading the written words. But it was acting out(将……演出来) the voices while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different roles!
If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once.
A. This e—bike is also very "smart". B. So I'm very proud that we never gave up. C. The weight of this new e—bike is just 15kg. D. This material makes it light and friendly to environment. E. It included many years of research, development and failures. |
E—bikes usually have a big problem —it is much heavier than common bikes. Recently, a Romanian company has solved this problem. In fact, an adult can even lift it easily.
The reason for the low weight is the choice of material(材料), which is quite unusual. It uses a frame(车架) made of bamboo. What's more, the bamboo frame also makes riding more comfortable, because it has good vibration damping (减震).
Your smartphone is connected to the e—bike. So you can check your riding information in real time through a special app on your smartphone.
The company manager said, "Creating the bikes was a hard journey. To be honest, I really don't remember how many times we had to face the failures(失败). "
The manager continued, "But in the end, we succeeded. We have created a bike that is light—weight enough, strong enough and smart enough. And now we have successfully developed these bikes to meet the needs of more people in cities. "
I can still remember my primary school homework on animals. I decided (write) about the whale (鲸鱼). I have loved them from a young age.
I'm not quite sure why I love them. It might be something about (they) shape. They have a smooth shape, and their tails look like a heart. They also move so (slow) and beautifully, like a tree dancing in the wind. This way, they seem very clever.
So, of course, one of my best memories (be) when I got to see a type of whale called the Southern Right Whale in Argentina. Watching them moving smoothly in the water, I felt (happy) than ever. They were so beautiful!
And I'm not the only one who loves whales. Different peoples across the world have a special place for whales in their (heart). Take the Maori people in New Zealand as example. Living by the ocean, they see whales as guardians(守护者) of the ocean and talk about them a lot in their (tradition) stories.
Why was I interested in whales like the Maori people? they need our protection. That's what my school homework was about— animals we need to protect. Whales play a big role the ocean. So, protecting whales means protecting the whole ocean.
