【推荐2】China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu Railway Station for Zunyi, Guizhou Province on March 28th.
The three-day trip costs 1,280 yuan, including food, accommodation (住宿) and tickets to places of interest in Guizhou.
Serving as a mobile star-rated hotel, the train is decorated with giant panda images both inside and outside and can accommodate 252 passengers. It has 8 sleeping cars, a dining car and an entertainment car. The sleeping cars have rooms for two or four passengers, and each room has a washroom with a toilet and a shower. The dining car, besides serving local food, can be used as a meeting room if needed. The entertainment car provides a place where passengers can sing, dance and play mahjong (麻将).
The mahjong room might be the biggest attraction for passengers from Sichuan. There’s a joke that a passenger on a plane to Chengdu can sleep soundly, only to be woken by the sound of mahjong played in the city before landing. In fact, Chengdu is well known for its love of mahjong as well as other attractions, such as the giant panda, Sichuan Opera and Sichuan food, according to an online survey.
“So it is no surprise that passengers will be able to play mahjong on a train leaving from Chengdu,” Zhong Jun, from Meishan, Sichuan, said during a trial run (测试运行) of the train on March 24.
Zhong Shu, an official from Chengdu Railway International Business Travel Group, said the train may travel to other parts of the country if it proves to be a success.

Germany is amazing! The scenery in the countryside is very beautiful. We got to ride through mountains when we went to Munich (慕尼黑). The city is exciting, and there are lots of shops everywhere. At home, people stay inside and work for most of the day, but people here like to go out more often.
Our choir (合唱队) sang in a church yesterday. You should have heard how beautiful our voices were! It was an amazing experience, and the people there really enjoyed it. Later, we went sightseeing around the main square. The buildings are very beautiful and old. There is a much greater sense of history here than there is at home.
The one thing I’m not crazy about is the food. They eat so differently here! First of all, they eat lots of bread and meat, but not many vegetables. Also, they drink a lot of beer. I was surprised to see fifteen-year-old kids drinking beer with huge cups, right in the square! My favorite foods here are the apple-juice soda and the huge soft biscuits. But they don’t like these.
People here dress well, and everyone seems confident and beautiful. They’re in great shape mainly because they walk a lot. Most people don’t even have cars! I’m surely getting in better shape from walking around so much. It’s good!
I’m having a wonderful time with my friends from the choir. Erin and I have been walking out a lot. I’ve been getting to know the older kids. I really respect them. It’s amazing that music and traveling can bring a group together.
Yesterday evening, the boys from our choir sang for people on the street, and people crowded around to hear them!
Well, I have to go to sleep now. Talk to you soon!
Yours,
Anna

【推荐2】Experts share some mental exercises to train our brains (大脑) to think in English. They tell us that it’s best to start small, little by little.
Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each thing near you. Charles Thomas, an English teacher tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are. Another teacher Andrew Hinshaw also finds this exercise helpful.
Thomas says, “If you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English.” You can describe it like this, “The place inside where I put my car” or you can say, “It’s next to my house. I keep things there.”
For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself by using simple sentences like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.”
Thomas asks his beginning-level students to describe their everyday activities using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves activities like, “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus.”
This would need other verb tenses (时态). For example, you might tell yourself, “When I leave the house, I’m going to get an iced coffee. Then, I’ll take the train to class. I’m studying with Jenny today. She said she booked a study room at the library for 2 p.m.”
| A．Think in simple sentences. |
| B．Think you speak to someone else. |
| C．Describe daily activities in the mind. |
| D．Describe things you don’t know the words for in your mind. |
| E．Name things around you in English in your head. |
| F．Make plans in your mind when you wake up in the morning. |
【推荐3】In 2006, the 24 solar terms (节气) were listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China, and they were added to the UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list ten years later.
The 24 solar terms which were born in China several thousand years ago are a knowledge system about time. They show Chinese people’s hope to achieve harmony (和谐) with nature. After the 24 solar terms achieved recognition from UNESCO, a new organization which spreads the cultural heritage of the 24 solar terms was set up.
“We want to spread: and protect: traditional culture as well as develop it in a creative way, through our efforts together,” said the leader of the organization. Some experts did more research, gave speeches and wrote books. Some groups in the organization organized some shows and competitions. Weiwei, the winner of the second prize of a competition, produced a long painting describing some customs related to each term.
“When creating this painting, I realized that 24 solar terms affected people’s lives. For example; in many places, people have the custom of celebrating the beginning of winter. When winter comes, agricultural (农业的) activities end, so people wear new clothes to greet each other. It means many folk customs are closely related to agricultural activities,” says Wei.
“Neixiang, County, Henan Province, has a history of giving a performance of dachunniu (beating the spring cow) to celebrate the beginning of spring. It also means outset (开始) of spring plowing (耕地). Farmers do their work according to the 24 solar terms.”

【推荐2】Hongcun, with a history of about 900 years, is a very beautiful village in Anhui Province. Located under Mount Huang, the village has kept the major Chinese styles from ancient times. It’s also one of UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Sites (世界文化遗产).
Walk along the old stone streets and lanes (小巷), and you will feel like travelling back in time. All the houses with grey roofs and white walls were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the front gate of each household is dotted with red Chinese knots (中国结) and lanterns. All of them are outlined against the blue sky and reflected into the clear rivers, lakes and ponds, surrounded (包围) by dark green mountains. It’s a living water-ink picture.
Step into a tea house to take a rest. A piece of classical music, played by guqin, fills up the house and floats into your hearts, as if you hear birds singing, pines (松) whistling and rivers flowing. You will be lost in a world, full of peace and pleasure. Holding the tea cup, some lines of poems on its out layer (层)will come into your sight:
No dust is rising on the road, wet with morning rain.
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
Walk out of the tea house, and go to the open-air theatre. The actors with coloured make-ups (脸绘) are performing on the stage in special clothes. It’s a local opera called Huangmei Opera and different from others, such as Kun Opera, Beijing Opera and Yue Opera. Also, you can enjoy a feast of varieties of quyi crosstalk (相声), kouji and pingshu.
