Have you seen or heard of any similar changes in the world over the last several years? Where was it and what happened? Yes, I have. One great change is the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou, China. Before the bridge was built, people living on both sides of the canyon had to travel along narrow, winding mountain roads. The roads were steep, full of sharp bends, and very dangerous, especially on rainy or snowy days. It used to take over 2 hours even to go to the next village, not to mention traveling to places farther away. Now, with the world’s highest bridge, the same trip only takes about 2 minutes. This huge change has made life much easier for local people. Farmers can send their products to other cities quickly, and more tourists come to visit the beautiful canyon. Just like the new railway in Kenya, it has put this mountain area on the fast track of development. 2. In what other ways can China work together with other countries to build a better world? Build high-speed railways(e.g. the China-Europe Railway Express) to connect countries and make travel and trade faster. Share high-speed rail technology, clean energy and power projects with other countries to help them develop. Teach farming skills to African countries to grow more food and fight hunger. Send the Peace Ark hospital ship to give free medical help to people in need around the world. Language Points 1.
