Last year , my wife celebrated my birthday at home. She bought a electronic

dictionary as birthday gift. I like the electronic dictionary very much. It's

blue and quite small. It fits into my pocket. I remember at that time, my wife said to me :she decided to

immigrate to !anada with me. In future, we must studyvery hard ."nd she hoped that the electronic dictionary could help me to improve my #nglish. $n that day, I

was very happy because my wife agreed to immigrate to !anada finally. "lso, with the help of the electronic

dictionary, I made such

rapid progress that before long I began to write articles in #nglish.

E9plain ! #ou t&ink it is t&e most interesting+

I think the interesting building is the +reat %all. It runs across north

!hina like a huge dragon. It was used to enemies. Soldiers used to keep watch on

the +reat %all. %hen the enemy came , fires were lit to warn other soldiers.I think the +reat %all is the most interesting building. ecause it is one

of the wonders of the world and it was one of the few manmade ob-ects on earth

that could be seen by the astronauts who landed on the moon. "lso, the +reat %all

has become a symbol of both !hina's proud history and its present strength.

1 6re t&ere some old buildings in #our &ometo!n+ -&ere and Describe it+

%enfeng ower, built in /012, is located in the southern of "nyang !ity.

(uring the 3ing and 4ing dynasties, people came to the tower to worship the +od

of 5eaven and pray for a good harvest. 6owadays, it serves as a museum of history

. 3urals of %enfeng ower give visitors a feel for the great artistic

achievements of ancient !hinese civili7ation. In a word, I think the %enfeng ower is the most interesting

building, and it is the oldest building in my hometown.

2 Compare t&e di$$erences bet!een t&e constructions in #our cit# !it& t&em in

he traditional buildings are made of the red brick and always have curved

eaves. housands of buildings look the same. ut now, various buildings with

different colors and styles have been going up in my hometown. In addition, roomis equipped with kitchen and bathroom. his is very convenient.

' -&at are peopleBs attitudes to old building toda# and t&at o$ our later

&eople, including our later generation, advocate that government should protect old buildings .ecause old

buildings represent the great artistic

achievements of ancient !hinese civili7ation.

( -&at role do #ou t&ink t&e old and modern buildings pla# in t&e societ#+

$h, modern buildings are for us to live and work, while old buildings are for us to visit and research.

) Compare t&e di$$erences bet!een &ouse and apartment+

In !hina, there is a big yard beside house, where we can plant some flowers

and trees etc. ut house is more e*pensive. "partment is convenient and cheap but small.

3y best friend is***. %e were in the same class for 8 years. "t that time,

we often gather together to study and play. 6ow, we work in the same company.

)riendship is e*tremely important to me. It9s like being brothers or sisters,

but even more than that. I mean, I would do nearly anything for my friend,

and I would e*pect that he would do the same for me. If he didn't help me when Iwas in need, then I would not consider him a good friend. I have a lot of

different kinds of friends. Some are loud, others are shy. I prefer having a real

variety of friends.

1 Do #ou t&ink it is eas# to make $riends in C&ina+

es, of course. 6owadays, transportation and communication are easy and

convenient. %e have more opportunities to meet all kinds of people and make friends with them.

can help each other in studying. ut adults make friends with anyone they like.

lost his watch. 5e thought I had taken it. "t that moment, I was very angry but I

said nothing, and then I helped him to look for the watch. )inally, we found it

in his pocket. 3y roommate apologi7ed to me. I forgave him his rudeness. So, I

think trust is the most important thing between friends.

(. esti%al

here are many festivals in !hina, such as Spring )estival, 6ational (ay and

uan ?iao )estival etc. he Spring )estival is the biggestfestival in !hina. I

suppose it's somewhat like !hristmas is in western countries. Spring )estival is

the only time when all familiesgather together and stores and business are closed

for several days. (uring the Spring )estival, we eat delicious food, visit

relatives and friends, and watch @to welcome the 6ew ear. I also like to try and contact some friends

before andsee how they9re doing and what they9re up to.%e give each otherpresentsfor the 6ew ear.
