I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.
In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Non-imported (非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the
development of the rural education.
When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.
When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Learning
English well is very important. Here are some methods that can help you learn English well.
Do a lot of listening. Listen to recordings of your teacher, the radio, TV video cassettes, audio cassettes — anything that you can get your hands on. Just listen to English as much as you can and you will learn a lot.
Every time you learn something new, write it down in a notebook. This will help you remember what you have learned. Buy a notebook and use it only for practicing English.
Try to read English one hour every day. Yes, this is difficult, but English has many words, and a good way to enlarge your vocabulary is to read them.
Whenever you have the chance, speak English. This will be hard to do if you don't live in an English－speaking country; however, the Internet provides new chances to practice speaking English through chat rooms and audio－video chat technology. You can also record your voice using a recorder.
Find a few different websites that you can go to daily. Don't pay for instruction over the Internet. Some websites require monthly or yearly fees but they aren't worth it.
Learn from a teacher. If it's possible, you should try to learn from as many different teachers as possible, but at the very least find one teacher and learn from that person.

Earthquake Safety Tips
On May 12, 2020, a big earthquake hit Wenchuan, Sichuan Province. Thousands of people died and many more were injured. Why are there earthquakes?
Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. The surface of the earth has many plate pieces (板块). These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
Scientists are working hard to find out more about earthquakes. They try to predict (预测) them, but it's very hard.
