come back
small farm
high-tech
online
hospital
library
tourist attraction
Think deeply and answer the questions.
1. Why did more young people come back?
This change happened because the village has become a
better place to live and work.
The development of tourism and high-tech farming has created more jobs right in the village.
The new highway and railway make it easy to connect with the outside world, so people don’t need to move to cities to find opportunities.
Improved living conditions, like new houses, a hospital and a library, make the village a more comfortable place to stay.
Think deeply and answer the questions.
2. The reporter says the villagers are “building a new socialist village”. What does it mean?
To me, it means the village is growing in a way that helps everyone live a better life.
The village is not just getting richer through farming and tourism, but also building new services like hospitals and libraries for all villagers.
It’s about making life fairer and happier for everyone, with better jobs, better homes, and better public services, so no one is left behind.
