Dubai just opened a new Ferris wheel(摩天轮). Let's find out what's so amazing about it, along with some other famous Ferris wheels around the world!
Ain Dubai is the world's largest and highest Ferris wheel. It opened to the public on Oct. 21st, 2021. This huge wheel is 250 metres high and about twice as high as the famous London Eye. It can carry 1,750 people and runs both day and night. People can eat, drink and enjoy the sunset as they ride. |
The London Eye is on the bank of the Thames River in London, the UK. It has 32 pods(舱). Each can hold about 25 visitors. It takes about 30 minutes to make a round. Visitors can fly up in the sky for a bird's-eye view of the city. The London Eye is also called the Millennium(千禧年)Wheel because it was built to celebrate the new millennium. It opened in 2000. |
The Tianjin Eye is on the Yongle Bridge, over the Haihe River in Tianjin. It is the only Ferris wheel built on a bridge. This one is 110 metres in diameter(直径)and about 120 metres high. It has 48 see-through cabins(舱), each able to carry eight people. It takes 20—40 minutes to go around once. You can ride it to overlook Tianjin. |
How to Learn Chinese Well I started to learn Chinese 50 years ago. It only took me nine months to learn this language well. Here are my tips on how to learn Chinese: ★Listen to Mandarin(普通话)as often as Possible The first month or maybe two, just focus on listening. Start learning Chinese by paying attention to listening. Just get used to the sounds. ★Spend time in Memorizing Characters(熟记汉字) Once you decide to study Chinese characters, work at them every day. Spend half an hour to an hour a day just on learning characters. Why every day? Because you will forget the characters almost as quickly as you learn them, so you need to remember them again and again. ★Read as much as Possible Read a lot. I learned faster than my students 50 years ago, that's because I read everything I could get. I read much more than other students. ★Speak a lot and Don't Second Guess Yourself When you speak, don't second guess yourself on tones(音调), or grammar of the language. Just let the mistakes pass. Every time you use the language you are practicing and getting used to it.
