How do you get to school? Do you walk or ride a bike? Do you go by bus or by train? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for the students in one small village in China, it is difficult. There is a very big river between their school and the village. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats. So these students go on a ropeway to cross the river to school. One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang cross the river every school day. But he is not afraid.“ I love to play with my classmates. And I love my teacher, He’s like a father to me.” Many of the students and villagers never leave the village. It is their dream to have a bridge. Can their dream come true? I think they can! Do you think so?
【小題1】How do the students in one small village in China go to school?

My name is Rachel. I am a student in Toronto, Canada. It is the second largest country in size in the world.

Every day my brother Andrew and I go to school at 9:00.I dislike getting up at 8:00 in the morning! When we finally get up, we need to eat breakfast quickly at home and walk to school.

At school we learn English and French, because Canadian speak English and French. Of course, we also learn history, art, science and math.

My brother’s favourite sport is football. But I can’t play football at school—there is no grassy area on the playground.

    School ends at 3:30 Andrew and I walk back home. I have to do a lot of homework first. After dinner I can relax. My favorite hobby is going for a boat-ride with dad. Sometimes I go to the park. I hope you can enjoy learning about my life.
