Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many people outside of China know about the Grand Canal.
This man-made waterway — known in China as Da Yunhe — is more than 1,700 kilometres long and some parts of it are more than 2,000 years old. It connects the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It's the longest man-made waterway in the world.
It was built as a way to transport grain(谷物) from the rich agricultural land in China's south to cities in the north. In fact, it's not one canal, but a system of canals and rivers connected together. It's still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other types of cargo(货物).
Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making parts of it deeper, so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of rain in the south of China, but not as much in the north. The canal will carry millions of litres of water from the south to the north.
The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall, and not very many tourists visit it. But it's possible to go on a cruise(乘船游览)along some of the oldest parts of the canal. Passengers on these cruises see beautiful parts of China that other visitors don't see.
Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. It's time we spend with family members,giving gifts to each other and eating lots of delicious food. However,at the same time it can also be a nervous time. You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents for everyone. You need to clean the rooms or even clear some of them out and put up the Christmas tree,the decorations and the balloons. And you have to communicate with your friends and relatives whom you perhaps wouldn't usually spend so much time with. So what can we do to deal with these things to enjoy the happy time to the fullest?
Usually,you have to face the busy shops to do your Christmas shopping during this holiday. That can make you stressed out. To stay calm(冷静的) during this holiday,you can start your shopping early. In other words,you can buy presents for people before Christmas comes so that you can save yourself some money. What's more,you can buy your presents on the Internet,which means that you can find anything you can think of,and you can do it in your living room. It's much cheaper,so you can save money.
Did you once drink more than usual,eat cakes you didn't want or do something else which left you feeling tired? Remember that it's your right to enjoy Christmas in the way you want and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you're not being Christmassy.
Finally,you'd better have low expectations. If your expectations are high,you will make yourself upset. Don't let yourself be pressured into making the Christmas perfect. So,just be satisfied to have a pleasant evening with your family and let what happens happen.
