Millie is reading a newspaper article about Shenzhen, which has changed a lot over the years. Here is the article. Before reading, think about the questions below.
1 What part of your hometown has changed most?
2 What do you know about Shenzhen?
The rise of Shenzhen, a city of innovation
In just over 40 years, Shenzhen, a city in southern China, has developed from a fishing village into a top high-tech city. A pioneer in China’s reform and opening-up, Shenzhen has attracted people from across the world. Innovation lies at the heart of the city. It has risen to become an important centre for technology industries in the world and is home to many tech giants. Today, it is leading the move from “Made in China” to “Created in China”.
Shenzhen is also active in its drive to become a cultural centre. It offers a wealth of cultural facilities, such as libraries, museums, theatres and art spaces, as well as many excellent cultural and educational activities. Moreover, the city has won an honour from UNESCO for being a role model in encouraging reading among the public.
Shenzhen is working to improve the quality of life for its citizens as well. The city has over 1,000 parks and more than 3,000 kilometres of greenways. Even among the busy streets and tall buildings, you can find peace and quiet in this modern city. Shenzhen is the first city in the world to use green energy for almost all its buses and taxis. “Electric buses produce less air pollution and make less noise, and now people here are enjoying a cleaner and better environment,” said a city planner.
Since the late 1970s, Shenzhen has developed at an amazing speed and has become a symbol of China’s development. The city’s pioneering spirit, together with the hard work and creativity of its citizens, is certainly the key to its success.
Here are the main points of the paragraphs in the article, fill in the blanks with the correct numbers of the paragraphs.
