In recent years, red tourism sites(遗址) have brought in more and more visitors.
The Jinggangshan Mountains are known as the birthplace of the Chinese Red Army. Jinggangshan, located in a remote location near Jianxi’s border with Hunan province, was a perfect base for the СРC and the Red Army in the 1920s, but its geographical condition resulted in local people becoming poor in recent times. Mao Haofu, 28, has returned from studying in Britain to his hometown in Jinggangshan City. “I feel a sense of achievement when I see more foreign officers come to our city. They are willing to know more about our country as China offers Chinese wisdom and a Chinese way to solve problems,” he said. Jinggangshan City has been visited by officers from several foreign countries, including Cuba, Vietnam,Cambodia and Laos.
To better introduce the former residence(住所) of Chairman Mao Zedong, Mao Haofu has studied materials in a local museum and books about Mao Zedong, instead of directly translating the tour guide introduction.
At another red tourism site called Xibaipo in Hebei, Duan Keqian, a tour guide of the Xibaipo Memorial Hall, is busy preparing an English version of her speech. She has seen a growing number of foreign visitors who work near Xibaipo. “We’ve been really busy in the past months, but we are really happy to provide more information for our visitors,” said Duan.
Russian Andrey Lyakh, 45, visited Xibaipo after doing business in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province. He listened carefully to his guide and nodded at times, walking in the yard of the residence. “I’ve heard of Mao Zedong since I was a child, and I think he is a great man,” said Andrey.

【推荐1】It seems that not every student is pleased with their English teacher. Some say they give too much homework or the lessons are boring. I think the best English teacher would be a teacher who gives no homework, lets us watch movies in class and never punishes anyone. But other students and parents would not he pleased with such a teacher.
American writer Mark Van Doren said. “The art of teaching is the art of helping discovery.”
For discovery to happen, I believe a great teacher should first connect with their students. They should teach different students in different ways so that they will feel encouraged to ask questions and express their opinions. The teacher should be patient when answering their questions.
Second, they should have a positive attitude (积极的态度) when teaching. They should not only leach their students English, but also the philosophy (哲理) of life.
Last but not least a great English teacher should use good ways to pass their passion (热情) for English onto their students一because as we all knew, interest is the best teacher.
All in all, a great English teacher should be a teacher who is connected with their students, who is kind and respected and who can stimulate (激发) the students’ interest in English.

【推荐2】Hobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobby, life won’t be as colorful as it should be.
I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments, reading, and doing sport activities. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood, I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.
Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform good music. After a period if you still enjoy it, gradually it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.

William the Conqueror, King of England from 1066 to 1087, built eight castles to protect the city of London. Of the eight castles, Windsor Castle is the only one still standing now.
