China

In my English class, I have many students who come from different parts of the world. I have many friends who are from China. China is a very big country in Asia. It has a population of more than 1.3 billion. People who come from China speak different languages but most of them speak Mandarin or Cantonese. There are many people in China who speak both languages. My Chinese friends always tell me how China is a beautiful country. I wish I can go and visit it one day after I get a job and can afford to buy an airline ticket. I went on the internet at home and looked up information about China.
There are good schools everywhere. Parents push their children to study hard and get good job when they finish their education. China also has a rich history. Many people go there to see the Great Wall of China. People who come from China love their country a lot. They love playing different kinds of sports. They also study and work very hard. Each married couple in China is allowed to have one child only because the number of people who live there is very big.
There are many big cities in China like Shanghai and Beijing, the capital city. Shanghai is a very big city and it has a lot of very high buildings. People travel to Shanghai from all parts of the world to do business. It is a good chance for them to taste Chinese food. There are many factories everywhere in China. China produces more than two thirds of the world’s TVs. Many of the appliances that I have in my house are made in China. Even my computer, my car, my MP3 player and my furniture are made in China. Most workers go to work using public transport. Some workers like to ride their bikes to go to work early in the morning. They work very hard. You can see products that are made in China everywhere in the world.
There are very fast trains to link big cities in China. These trains are air conditioned and very clean. The most important celebration in China is called Chinese New Year. It is like Christmas in Australia. On Chinese New Year, families get together and enjoy eating Chinese food. If you live in the north of China, the temperature there can be very low and it can snow.
There is a big number of people who use the interent in China. They use it at home, work or school. When Chinese students travel to study overseas, their teachers become amazed by their skills and knowledge.
