One day, my wife and I went shopping. We took the car as we had a lot of things to buy, because my brother and his family were going to spend the weekend with us. We stopped the car in front of the shop. An hour later we came back to the car with a lot of things. Then the trouble(麻烦) started. We could not open the door.

    "Oh, dear," said my wife, "what are we going to do?"

    "Let's ask that policeman," I said.

    On Sept 4 and 5 this year, the 11^th G20 Leaders Summit (峰会) was held in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province in east China. It was a big success.

    G20 is made up of the world's most important 20 economies (经济体)—the European Union and 19 countries. Both developed countries like the US and Germany, and developing countries like Brazil and China are members of it. Every year, the G20 members get together and talk about the world economic events. For example, after the financial crisis (金融危机) in 2008, they agreed that the International Monetary Fund (IMF, 国际货币基金组织) could give money to countries in need. Other events also included making sure poorer areas have enough food and good development.

    It was the first ever G20 summit to be hosted in China. The logo of the summit looks like a bridge. "I got the idea from the old bridges at the West Lake," said the designer Yuan Youmin. "Bridges bring people and places together in many different ways, just as the G20 makes east and west get together."

    Chinese food also pleased many foreign guests with its culture. At the welcome dinner to the member leaders there was one famous dish—Dongpo Rou. Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo made the dish first. Su once lived in Hangzhou.

    One main topic of the summit this year is to develop goals and plans of creative growth for G20 members. China itself is developing its creative ability in recent years. It is not easy to host such a summit, butChina has made a great contribution (贡献) to the G20 by bringing out a new future.
