I’m Lennox from Kentucky, the U.S. A. Here’s the story of my family village.

About seven years ago, my parents built a small house village on our family’s land in the countryside. It is made up of five small houses.

To have a green life, our family chose this kind of housing. These small houses save energy(能源) because smaller spaces are easier to heat and cool. We try to be nice to the environment. For example, we follow the rules of recycling and only produce(生产) one bag of rubbish each week.

I feel very comfortable living in my two-floor house. On the first floor, I have a pink sofa and a brown dresser (梳妆台). I also have an open bookshelf with a TV on it. On the second floor there is a small loft(小阁楼) with my bed in it.

However, I don’t really like the way the inside of my house looks now. So I’m planning to do a makeover of it. First, I’ll get a new cover for my sofa and paint my dresser in another color. Besides, the wall next to my dresser looks empty. I want to decorate it with something super cool. I’m looking forward to the new look of my house!

China’s 71-metre-tall Leshan Buddha (佛像), the largest stone Buddha in the world, re-opened to the public after experts carried out emergency restoration on the 1,300-year-old statue. The repair (修理) project started in October last year and the scaffolding (脚手架) was removed in late March after experts mended the cracks (裂纹) on the statue. Tourists are once again able to see the entirety of the towering (高耸的) sitting Buddha from the Min River by the mountain.

The Buddha was built in 713 AD during the Tang Dynasty at the meeting point of three rivers, the Min River, Qingyi River and Dadu River. The statue is based on the image of Maitreya, which is regarded as the future Buddha. It is next to the Lingyun Temple on Lingyun Mountain in Leshan. Lingyun Temple means the “cloud side” temple in Chinese, and the name means the high altitude (海拔高度) of the huge statue. It is said that in ancient times, many boats sailed past Leshan, and therefore the monks at the Lingyun Temple decided to build a Buddha statue to save living creatures. It took them about 90 years to complete the religious and artistic masterpiece. The statue is so great that people from all over the world come to visit and admire (欣赏) the wonderful work.

A worker said the Buddha had some cracks on its face, chest and stomach after being out in nature for more than a thousand years. The damage could have caused rocks to fall and endanger the tourists. An expert said the latest repair was not “systematic restoration”, but a “scientific and research project”. The repair project could lay foundation for the future overall protection of the Buddha, the expert told Xinhua News Agency.
