If you won a lottery and had lots of money, what would you do? Most people would start by buying themselves things, such as a new car or a bigger TV. Some people even decide to move a bigger house.
Many people who win lots of money may find that they have a lot of friends. The new friends they make may follow them for their money but they may also leave them when all money is spent. Sometimes people can’t decide what they want to do with all the money they have won, so they try to think of what they want. In the end, most people usually decide to save the money.

A road is just like a bridge between two places. The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West. But the Silk Road is not a single route! It is a series of trade and cultural transmission routes. From the time Zhang Qian opened up the world-famous Silk Road during the Han Dynasty, until the Yuan Dynasty, it enjoyed a history of about l,600 years.
This ancient road begins at Chang'an (now Xi’an), and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route, Central Route and Northern Route. And then it ends in Eastern Europe, near the Mediterranean Sea(地中海). The Silk Road is about 6,500 kilometers long. It goes across one-fourth of the planet. (83)In fact, there is another trade road which is called the “Silk Road on the Sea” in the southwest of China.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and technologies were shared across the Silk Road. The Four Great Inventions of China was introduced to the West and Chinese also knew about the religions of the West. (84)In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other. Today, places along the Silk Road are great places of interest, such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu.

What is the hottest English word these years? “Selfie" may be one of them. It was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. The word was first used in an Australian online forum in 2002. Now, almost everybody knows it.
Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to a social media website. Nowadays, more and more people are taking selfies. From your best friend to your favorite pop star, selfies are taking over Renren and Sina Weibo.

I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we have to wear school uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports uniform looks really dark and old. It can't stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange color and make a new type of uniform. |
