  • 1.It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(軍營).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White,an officer of forty,was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

  • 2.Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang is excited that one of her former students from Indonesia has been admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University.The 19-year-old student,Alvin Rizqi Adrian,achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government.
       Xie met the boy five years ago when she was selected to teach Chinese at Budi Utama Three Languages National School in Yogyakarta,Indonesia.The school,founded in 2006 by local Chinese,teaches in three languages - Indonesian,English and Chinese.The school has more than 970 primary,middle and high students,half of whom have Chinese ancestry.
       Xie taught students to speak and comprehend Chinese during her year at the school. "Most Indonesian children start to learn Chinese after they enter primary school," Xie said. " But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage. " Xie modified the content of the textbooks to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese.

"At that time,he was a middle school student.He was so interested in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice," she said.Since 2004,Guangdong has sent 1,000 Chinese teachers to more than 30 Chinese schools in 10 countries and regions.
       Indonesia has the largest number of Chinese teachers sent from Guangdong,who mainly work in kindergartens,schools and universities founded by overseas Chinese.They usually spend one to two years on the foreign assignment. "Those days in Indonesia made me feel very appreciated.The local people have respect for Chinese teachers," Xie said.She keeps in touch with her Indonesian students through the Internet. "If I had the opportunity to go to Indonesia to teach again,I would be very happy to see the children improve their Chinese," Xie said.

  • 3.I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain's literary heritage(文學(xué)遺產(chǎn)).Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.These writers are famous all over the world because their books have been translated into many different languages.In the UK,their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written.We say that these novels are "classic" because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.
       I read classic novels because they are part of my university lessons but also because I enjoy them.They can teach you a lot about how people used to live and what society was like in the past.Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen's fiction shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.
