Long long ago, there was no paper in the world. People had to write characters(汉字) in bamboo slips or stones.Then there was a man named Cai Lun who was a Chinese man. He made people use all kinds of things to invent paper. From then on, people can use paper to write on. Paper is a great invention. We always remember the great inventor Cai Lun. Nowadays paper is very useful in our work, study and our life.It really means a lot to human beings

    Travelling around the world is a dream for many people, and a young couple from China has made their dream come true. They drove along the ancient Silk Road, from China to the UK.

    Luo Chang and Ding Jie, a young couple from Guizhou Province, spent two months driving from their home in Shanghai all the way to London. The journey covered about 20,000 kilometres, and they crossed 14 countries and regions (地区).

    Ding Jie said, "People were excited to see two travellers driving a foreign license car, appearing on their streets. We were stopped many times to take photos with them. Sometimes, when we couldn't understand each other's language, they would express their ideas with gestures(手势).

    During their driving trip, they also spent many nights in local people's homes. Luo Chang said. "This is an amazing experience. We were driving on a highway or a country road to someone's home. Someone you've never met but was preparing dinner for you. We feel we have friends all over the world."

    During the trip, Luo and Ding took nearly 10,000 photos and kept diaries to record the beautiful scenery(风景), the friendly people and the different customs on the way.

My new friend

Last month, I made a new friend, Tom, a student in Wuhu No. 1 Middle School. Tom has many hobbies. 

Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents. We visited the Wildlife Park.

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native( 当地的 ) to Australia and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles( 鳄鱼 ). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo. In zoos, most of the animals are in cages( 笼子).

We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We could touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there, too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的 ). Although we couldn't carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir( 纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.

The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are. very big and scary with huge teeth!I did not want to get too close to them.

There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species of birds. I saw an old parrot. It could " talk" and made a great impression on me.

I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.

Zhang Ping's story becomes a hot topic on the Internet now. Zhang Ping is 39 1 old. She is from a village in Shanxi province. These days, some videos of her have become 2 on the Internet. In these videos, she talks to foreigners in English fluently(流利地) and 3 .

Zhang used to work as a restaurant waitress and a store seller. In 2018, she took on the role of a 4 in park. One morning, a foreigner came up to her and said something. But Zhang couldn't 5 what he said. The foreigner then raised his thumb(大拇指) and said," Very clean, very good!". It moved Zhang and she made up her mind to 6 English. After that, Zhang began to learn English from her son's textbooks. She remembered words and practiced 7 when others were taking a rest. She reviewed words at night and read them one more 8 the next morning. She also downloaded many English learning apps on her phone. She 9 any possible time learning and practicing." Every time I help a stranger in English, I feel 10 and confident. And my dream is to introduce my hometown in English to the world." said Zhang.
