Unit 12 Western China
Lesson 48
1.2
Dear cousin,
I haven't seen you for about a year.
How is everything with you?
Take a look at this picture.
Can you guess where it is?
It's the highway near our village.
The workers have just finished
building the first part,
and now they are working on a bridge
over the river.
Cars and trucks travel on it every day.
I enjoy counting the cars.
I have never seen so many cars in my life!
The government has found gas near our village.
The villagers are helping to build a large
modern gas field.
After school,I often go and watch them
working in the field.
Do you still remember the small shop
in our village?
I went there yesterday.
To my surprise,there were many new things
such as CDs,Walkmans,and DVDs.
I have never seen such nice things
in our village before.
By the way,a new teacher has come to teach us.
She's a volunteer from Guangzhou.
She's been to many places
and has shown us some of her photos.
She often tells us interesting stories.
We all like her.
Right now,she's gone to Xi'an
to buy some computers for our school.
