You have an article about China’s high-speed trains, but space is limited, so you can only use one sentence for the lead or headline. Which one would you choose? China’s high‑speed trains have developed very well in recent years. Lots of engineers have worked hard to invent and improve them for many years. They had to solve many difficult problems when building railways through high mountains and across long rivers. Now high‑speed trains serve almost every big and small city in China. Inside the trains, there are soft seats, clean restrooms, and free WiFi for passengers. These trains can run up to 350 kilometers an hour. They make trips between cities much shorter than old slow trains. People can visit relatives, go on trips or do business more easily. The fast trains also help carry products around the country and help local places develop their economies little by little. After years of development, China has built the biggest high-speed train system in the world. High-speed trains run fast and safely across the country with comfortable services. They greatly shorten travel time between cities, bring convenience to people’s lives and push economic development. China’s high-speed trains are convenient and fast, bringing great changes to people’s lives and social development. 1 2 3 Reading Strategies Summarizing Summarizing means retelling the important parts of a text in your own words.You should keep the main idea and all the details in your summary.

A Report on the Changes Around Us Nowadays, great changes have taken place around us. First, in our school, in the past, teachers only used chalk and wrote slowly on the blackboard. But now, we have smart blackboards that can show colorful videos and pictures. We also use e-books on our tablets, which makes studying more convenient. Second, in our daily life, mobile payment has changed the way we shop. When we buy snacks at the school gate, we just need to scan the QR code with our phones. We don’t need to carry any cash or wait for change at all, which saves us a lot of time. Third, in my neighborhood, shared bikes are parked on almost every street corner. I can easily ride one to school in the morning, avoiding the morning traffic jams. In a word, these small changes make our lives much better. I am very proud of them! Language points 1.
