I had great experiences in Wuzhen. It left me a great impression (印象) during my recent four-day stay there.

    Free Wi-Fi in public areas is now available (可得到的) there. Such service (服务) is common in cities, but I didn't imagine there was such service in a small town like Wuzhen, When I arrived at Wuzhen that evening, I was very surprised! I couldn't to do two things: connect to Wi-Fi and go around the town. Where there's the Internet, there is a way.

    I found a bicycle station along the street. A notice guided me on how to get a bike using my smart phone. It offered me a two-hour free ride and I enjoyed it a lot. The locals have enjoyed the free bike service since last year.

    Later, locals told me hundreds of such bicycles became available at the beginning of last year. Hundreds of new-energy vehicles (交通工具) can fee used if you pay a little money. Again, you need a smart phone to make use of the service.

    I rode across streets and roads, past many places. I found the Internet was used everywhere in the town.

    I've interviewed many officials in other areas of China. And I often wanted to remain connected with them through WeChat. However, many of them would just excuse themselves, saying they don't use the social media as they have too many things to do every day. But most of the Wuzhen's officials said, "Nowadays, many things are completed with the Internet, and we're sure that Internet will become more and more important. We can reach further by using it."

The Car in the Future

"I don't want to go, Miss White. I'm frightened (害怕的), very frightened,"Monica told her teacher.

Monica was a very 1 girl. She always sat at the back of the classroom, 2 or taking notes. Every Monday morning, there would be a special show in her class and one student would be 3 to make a speech about his or her dream. Miss White hoped that Monica could have a try the next week. 4 she refused.

"I know that it seems 5 for you, but it will help you build up your confidence," said Miss White. Monica was lost in thought.

The next day, Monica came to Miss White's office. Miss White was 6 that she would take the chance. Miss White red-penciled (修改) her speech manuscript (手稿), corrected her 7 and even helped with her body language. She advised Monica to practice and 8 that she was speaking confidently in front of her class.9 a whole week, Monica practiced speaking in front of the imaginary friends and teacher. Behind the locked door of her bedroom, she told them about her 10 .

Finally, Monday arrived. After Monica was called upon to give her speech, she 11 and walked to the front of the class without any notes, in a show of confidence. Monica's successful performance brought everyone a great 12 . The whole class clapped(鼓掌) for a full minute when she completed her speech. Miss White 13 , and she had known that Monica would make it when she 14 took her first step to overcome (克服) her fear of speaking in public.

From that day, Monica's life changed for the better. At the age of 23, she became a news reader. People who see 15 on television now will find it hard to believe that she was once a shy girl who refused to speak up in class. So believe in yourself!

It's a warm Saturday morning. Julia, Mark and Tina are at Simon's house. They are not doing their homework. They are making1 for this afternoon. They2 get together and play sports on Saturday afternoon, but this time, they want to do something3 . They hope to help Mr. White.

Mr. White is an old man in the town. He is seventy years old and he4 alone. His two daughters are both in another town. They' re too busy to look after him. So the four children plan to5 him this afternoon. Julia is going to tell some interesting stories to cheer6 up. Tina, Mark and Simon are going to do some7 for him. It always takes Mr. White a long time to wash his clothes because he is old8 he isn't in good health.

Now, the four good friends are9 . They want to meet Mr. White. They are sure Mr. White will be10 to see them. Maybe it's a big surprise for him.

Jack is my best friend who I made on the first school day. He is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} boy with a warm smile. Many people want to make friends with {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. And I know he is a big fan of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} culture. He always tells {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lots of famous Chinese stories. We often read books and do sports together. In my mind, I wish {#blank#}5{#/blank#} friendship can last forever.
