I have worked as a language assistant(助理) in Spain for a month. When I enjoy 1 myself and talking about British culture, I notice that many Spanish friends think that the UK has only one place 2 —London!
Of course, London is worth visiting. 3, I think foreign visitors should really visit the UK a bit 4! As a British, I want to let more people know 5 my country. So I often tell people that there are 6 other beautiful places in my country. 7, my hometown—Chester. Actually, it is not famous, so 8 people have heard of this city. Therefore, I often introduce its location(位置) to others by 9 it is near Manchester.
In fact, Chester is really 10 beautiful and safe city. There are city walls protecting the city centre. As one of Britain's most famous cultural heritage(遗产) protection 11 , it keeps most of the buildings that were built 12. It means that most of the houses and shops are very old. For this reason, Chester is a popular place for those who are 13 in historical sites.
It's a pity that most Spanish people who have visited the UK stayed in London and didn't go to 14 cities. I hope that if you 15 the chance to visit my country, you might want to travel outside of our capital.
China has become stronger and stronger in recent years. Many foreigners can't believe that China has developed so fast and feel 1. They see high-speed trains, Alipay, shared bikes and online shopping as the 2 Four Great Inventions of China. Some of them 3 the influences(影响) of the new inventions. The following is what they said.
Justin: I'm from Romania. The high-speed trains are very 4, convenient and tidy. It takes me only about five hours from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It 5 a lot of time.
Yala: I'm from Nepal. Bicycle-sharing system allows people to get a bike from point "A" and 6 it at point "B". It's convenient, and it's also a low-carbon(低碳的) and healthy way of life. I like it very much.
Arcbana: My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. Here in China, I 7take notes(纸币) with me when I go out. I can pay with Alipay most of the time. It's amazing. However, in India, if you don't take 8 with you, you'll be in trouble.
Bond: I find many 9 between China and Thailand. We don't have Taobao or other online shopping apps in Thailand. With these apps, I can 10 easily without stepping out of the doors in China.
Have you ever learned to do something with the help of an Internet search? The answer is likely "Yes"! In fact, you probably learned many things by watching how-to videos.
You may be wondering how such videos can improve your English. Recording yourself, whether on video or audio (音频), is an effective method of self-study. This is especially true if you cannot find someone to practice speaking with. When you record yourself, it helps you identify what you are good at in English and which areas need improvement. As you continue the method of speaking on a recording, you can make the changes you want.
Now, let's go through the steps in preparing to make your video.
Choose a subject
The first step is to choose a subject that will work well for a short video. Set a goal of not going over six or seven minutes for the video length.
Gather information
Make a list of the steps that you think are important in making or doing the thing you have chosen. You might not know the English words for some of the things you are describing. For those, you can write the words in your own language and then take time to find and practice saying them in English.
Aim for simple instructions
How-to videos are meant to make instructions easy and clear. Taking notes can help organize your steps and decide which to include. Think about which ones to show visually and which ones to be described.
Introduce your subject
A great way to introduce it is to say your name and then say what you are going to show. You can even include a sentence or two about why your skill is good to learn.
If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a small symbol that shows 3G or 4G. The "G" means the "generation(代)" of your mobile network. But they will become history after 5G network fully arrives.
In recent years, China makes great achievement in 5G network. Now it's making efforts to popularize the business use of 5G. Shanghai is the first city in China to start testing 5G networks. On March 30, 2019, Wu Qing, one of the leaders of Shanghai, made the first 5G video call with Huawei Mate Smartphone.
5G allows people download and upload data faster than ever before. It is 100 times faster than 4G mobile network. But 5G doesn't just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well. For example, 5G can make self-driving cars safer.
Today's self-driving cars have one problem—time lag(滞后). When a self-driving car "sees" an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to do that. That's the time lag. With this kind of lag, the car might have an accident because it doesn't receive instructions in time. But with 5G, the self-driving car can receive instructions more quickly.
5G can also be used to power the Internet of Things (IoT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. For example, with IoT, your smart fridge could order eggs online when it notices that there are no eggs left inside.
Henry Ford was a great engineer and successful businessman. He was born on a farm in America on July 30th, 1863 and had two younger brothers and two younger sisters. His father was a farmer and he always hoped that Ford would become a farmer too.

When he was thirteen years old, he was able to fix his watch. At the age of 16, Ford left the family farm and went to Detroit. He found a job in a machinery factory and learned more about machines by working in the factory. In 1886, he developed engines(发动机) and began to make efforts to make his own car.

By the end of March, 1904, the company had sold almost 600 Ford cars and at the start of 1905, the company produced 25 cars each day. In 1908, Ford's company created the Model T cars. It soon became popular in America because it ran so fast that it could help people win in races. More importantly, it cost less. By 1918, half of the cars running in America were the Model T cars.
In 1921, the US president Warren Harding praised him for making the best company. Now the Ford Motor has become one of the largest car producers, and Henry Ford is known as the king of cars all over the world.

Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. Since July 1, 2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.
The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountains, and the Potala Palace
Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can collect the waste.
All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. TV and electrical sockets(插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.
Because there isn't much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks for those who need them. It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous "roof of the world".

Did Thomas Edison really invent the light bulb? The answer is no. The real i of the light bulb was Joseph Swan. He invented the electric light bulb in 1860. But Swan's light bulb could not glow（发光）for a long e time to be useful.
Ten years later, Thomas Edison decided to improve on Swan's light bulb. He did a lot of experiments to find a better bulb wire. Finally, he f the right one. It could glow for about 1,200 hours and, at the same time, it was cheap. In the 20th c, light bulb began to be widely used all over the world. Even street lamp began to use light bulbs i of oil. Since then, the light bulb has helped humans see things clearly anytime. It is one of the greatest inventions in history.
