Many people take trains for their trips in China, because the train is fast and cheap. But there are many problems when people take trains. It’s not easy to take trains when it is a festival. Lots of people hope someone can solve(解决)the problems.
Then, the CRH(和谐号列车)trains come out. The first CRH train from Beijing to Tianjin began to run in August.
In 2008, CRH1 and CRH2 can go up to 200 km/h, and CRH3 can run 300 km/h. Taking CRH trains is more expensive than taking a traditional (传统的) train, but cheaper than taking a plane. Some people think the CRH trains and their workers are good, and they enjoy the trips by CRH train.
China starts to make a CRH train, 350 kilometers an hour from Beijing to Shanghai. It can save people more time than taking the traditional trains.

【推荐1】Bikes are very popular in China. In the country, you can see bikes almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you can find a lot of people riding bikes to schools, shops and any other place. So many people call China “the kingdom of bikes”. In China, many families have one or two bikes.
Compared with ears, bikes have many advantages(优点). First, bikes often don’t need much money. Some Chinese can’t buy cars, but they buy bikes. They can also use OFO bikes(共享单车)with only one yuan every hour. An app on the phone helps them to do that. Second, bikes are small to park anywhere, but cars need a bigger place. What’s more, they can’t ride bikes too fast, so it’s usually not dangerous to ride.
However, bikes also bring some problems(问题). Some riders don’t follow the traffic rules and some don’t think about others’ safety, so they ride too fast. During rush hours(高峰期), there may be traffic jams because there are too many bikes on the road. We still have much to do to solve the problem, like making strict rules for the riders.

Winter may be over, but a group of children in Beijing is still playing and learning a special winter sport. They are dressed for matches. They hold a curved(弯曲的)wooden stick in their hands and wear thick-padded(厚垫肩的)coats, helmets(头盔)and ice skates. They are here to conquer(征服)the ice. They glide(滑行). They often fall down. But they never give up. They are full of energy and pride because Beijing hosts the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Ice hockey(冰上曲棍球)isn’t strong in Chinese sports history and isn’t popular across the country. In the past, ice hockey was mostly popular in northeast China. Only big cities in three provinces(省)in northeast China have their own ice hockey teams.
But now, Beijing, as the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics, are actively working on the promotion(推广)of winter sports these years. The city sets up 15 ice hockey clubs and 116 youth ice hockey teams (with nearly 2, 000 players). Some schools are used as winter sports special schools. Their students have the chance to learn to skate in PE lessons.
“I believe more and more children in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will start to learn ice hockey. It is not only because of the Winter Olympics, but also the attraction(吸引力)of the sports itself; it attracts people to play it and enjoy it.” says a player from the China national ice hockey team.

【推荐3】Stir-fry (小炒), Peking duck, fried rice—the tastes of Britain.
“Britain?!” I hear you cry. “But British people take afternoon tea with sandwiches! Those are Chinese dishes!”
According to a survey by Food Network UK, nine out of 10 British people said their favorite food was Asian. The number one international food in Britain was stir-fry, according to the Daily Mail, with 55 percent saying they ate it often.
Britain has a very multicultural history. Centuries of history brought dishes from across the world. Almost every town in the UK has a Chinese or Indian restaurant, and Italian, Thai and Jamaican are not unusual. Perhaps it’s no surprise that they learned to cook and eat dishes from other countries. Traditional British food doesn’t have a great reputation (名声).
International food has become British food, even when British are cooking. Another survey by the UKTV food channel in 2009 showed the most common dish British could cook without a recipe was Italian spaghetti.
However, if you’re in the UK and think a trip to a Chinese restaurant would be a great way to stay away from homesickness(乡愁), think again. Many British Chinese dishes aren’t exactly Chinese. At the end of every British Chinese meal, you get a sweet crisp known as a “traditional Chinese fortune cookie”. I have lived in Beijing for almost a year. I have yet to eat a fortune cookie that is really Chinese.
A bowl of stir-fry followed by a fortune cookie...now that would be a way to cure my homesickness, for the UK.
