Using three people gives us a more complete picture of the railway’s benefits. The new railway benefits all kinds of people in different ways. One person cannot show these different changes. Discuss the questions 1. 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. I’ve heard of the China-Laos Railway that opened in 2021. The railway runs 1,035 km and connects Kunming in Southwest China's Yunnan Province to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. It now takes about 10 hours to travel between the two cities by train. The railway not only connects the two cities as well as the two countries more closely, but also makes a big difference in local people's lives. It provides people in Laos with more than 110,000 jobs. Discuss the questions 2. In what other ways can China work together with other countries to build a better world? China can work with other countries in many ways to build a better world. First, China can help build more roads, hospitals and schools in developing countries. Second, China can share new technologies, like farming methods, with other countries. Third, China can work with other countries on environmental protection. Finally, China can provide cultural exchanges, like student exchange programs, to help people from different countries understand each other better. Homework $
