(Jasper and Laura are having a video chat.)
Jasper: Laura, do you know the three crew members of China's Shenzhou XIII came back on April 16?
Laura: Really? That's great.
Jasper: Calm down. You can watch the replay on the Internet later. Well, do you know there is a famous kite about our space station?
Laura: Wow, that's cool. I haven't heard about that. I know it is the hometown of the kites.
Jasper: You're right. The theme kite which is more than 160 meters long was made there. Not only does the kite show the great achievements that our country has got in aerospace, but it also displays the Chinese people's remarkable skills in kite making.
Laura: I can't imagine such a huge kite can fly in the sky. Can you tell me more about it?
Jasper: Of course. Actually, it was a super big progress. Building the kite required more than two months and 20 kite makers.
Laura: The festival was canceled due to the pandemic.
Jasper: Yes. People fly different kites in different colors, shapes and sizes highly in the sky.
Laura: I'm fond of flying kites and I hope I can fly kites there.
Jasper:
Laura: Anyway, hope I can fly kites and play with my friends freely in such good weather.
Jasper: So do I. Being quarantined at home such a long time drives me crazy. I miss my classmates, teachers and the colorful school situation of life.
Laura: According to the epidemic now, I'm sure we can be back to school soon.
Jasper: I can't agree with you more. See you at school then.
