[00:10.50]Dear cousin,
[00:12.12]I haven't seen you for about a year.
[00:15.15]How is everything with you?
[00:17.59]Take a look at this picture.
[00:19.88]Can you guess where it is?
[00:22.28]It's the highway near our village.
[00:25.48]The workers have just finished
[00:27.49]building the first part,
[00:29.82]and now they are working on a bridge
[00:32.07]over the river.
[00:34.19]Cars and trucks travel on it every day.
[00:37.90]I enjoy counting the cars.
[00:40.59]I have never seen so many cars in my life!
[00:45.11]The government has found gas near our village.
[00:48.81]The villagers are helping to build a large
[00:51.23]modern gas field.
[00:53.66]After school,I often go and watch them
[00:56.51]working in the field.
[00:59.39]Do you still remember the small shop
[01:01.77]in our village?
[01:03.48]I went there yesterday.
[01:05.67]To my surprise,there were many new things
[01:08.97]such as CDs,Walkmans,and DVDs.
[01:13.76]I have never seen such nice things
[01:15.84]in our village before.
[01:18.66]By the way,a new teacher has come to teach us.
[01:23.01]She's a volunteer from Guangzhou.
[01:25.81]She's been to many places
[01:27.86]and has shown us some of her photos.
[01:30.73]She often tells us interesting stories.
[01:33.80]We all like her.
[01:35.81]Right now,she's gone to Xi'an
[01:38.08]to buy some computers for our school.
