Yangshuo is an amazing riverside town near Guilin in Guangxi. There are plenty of things you can do in Yangshuo. I spent almost a week in the pretty town enjoying its beautiful views.

On my last day, I walked along the streets in the old town. As I was walking by the river. I saw a small group of elderly people playing cards, singing and chatting around a table. They were excited to meet me ,a foreign visitor, and filled my hands with a cup of green tea, peanuts（花生）and biscuits.

When they failed to communicate with me in Chinese, they took out their pen and paper and wrote down what they wanted to say in Chinese characters, but I still couldn’t understand them. Finally, we turned to a special language we all understood—music.

They took out their Chinese songbook and started singing to me. I laughed and tried to sing together with them, and I was sure my singing in Chinese sounded funny to them, but they enjoyed it and so did I. My singing style finally got lots of praise and laughter. At last, they were really sad when I had to say goodbye to them.

Blunt was born into a family of soldiers in 1974. So it is no surprise that he himself joined the army as a soldier in 1996. Music wasn’t popular entertainment in the family house. His father considered all music to be unnecessary noise. “Like any parents, mine wanted me to have a secure job with a regular salary（薪水）and career prospects（前途）, Blunt said in an interview with the BBC. “And the one job my father knew of —that he’d experienced himself—was the army, so he could help me in that direction.” In 1999, he was sent to Kosovo（科索沃）as a member of the peacekeeping force. Despite following in his father’s footsteps, music was James’ primary passion. The young officer took his guitar with him. Blunt explained to the Herald.-Times.” Wherever you are in the army, you take something to keep yourself amused. Some bring a pack of cards, some a football. I took a guitar.” His wartime experience inspired him to write the song No Bravery. Blunt couldn’t escape his love of music. He left the army in October 2002 and decided that it was time to replace guns with guitars. He flew to the US in September 2003. There he met Linda Perry, songwriter and produces, who helped him with the music. In 2005, Blunt released his first album. Back to Bedlam. It was a huge success that the album sold over 10 million copied worldwide and its single. You’re Beautiful, bit number one in over a dozen countries.

The first kite was invented in ancient China around 3,000 years ago. And the first Chinese kites were made out of wood, but once paper was invented, paper kites became popular. Bamboo and silk are also used in making kites.

Early Chinese kites were not toys. They were actually used for military（軍事的）purposes. The first written account（記述）of kite flying took place in China around 200BC during the Han Dynasty（朝代）when a Chinese General flew a kite over the wall of a city he planned to attack. He did so to measure the distance.

In ancient China, superstition was an important aspect（方面）of kite flying. For example, during the Qing Dynasty, it was believed that flying a kite and then letting it go was a way to let go of trouble, bad luck, and illness. It was considered bad luck to pick up a kite that was lost by someone else.

Kites became a form of recreation（娛樂(lè)）during the Tang Dynasty among the wealthy family. Once the paper kites were invented, the popularity of kites spread to the common Chinese.

Today, every year in April an event takes place in Weifang. Shandong Province. People come from around the world to take part in the Weifang Kite Festival.

English is an important global language, but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn- but they weren't always successful.

In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words(and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn't understand the answers in "real" English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list. For example, if you wanted a watermelon, you asked for "a large green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste"!

R.E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. "Father" became "faadher", "new" became "nue' and "years" became "yeerz". Unfortunately for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.

Even easier is the language which ships' captains use: it's called "Seaspeak". Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you don't say, "I'm sorry what did you say?" or "I didn't understand, can you repeat that?" It's just "Say again." No more grammar!

In the age of international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include examples of "NetLingo" like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later).In another fifty years, English might not exist and we will probably all speak fluent "Internetish".

Then I made a card _______a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of kindness.

That afternoon, we ______my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon Lily came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit.
