Audio script:
Good morning, everyone! First, I’d like to tell you a little about myself: my name is Li Jie, and I love trains. When I was seven, my parents took me on an amazing train trip across China. After that trip, I began collecting toy train sets and started to read books about trains. I think my interest comes from a wish to explore the world, but I’m also interested in train design.
My favourite train is the Fuxing high-speed train. It can go as fast as 350 kilometres per hour! The design is really cool: it looks like a huge bullet. The inside of the train looks great too. The seats are very comfortable, and passengers get lots of space to stretch their legs.
The Fuxing trains started running in 2017. They are entirely designed and built in China, and they are among the fastest trains in the world. Besides, China is now home to the world’s largest high-speed train network! All these achievements were the fruit of years of hard work by thousands of engineers. I really admire them.
I sometimes ask myself, “Will my love of trains just be a childhood hobby ” I really hope not! I want to do well in school so that I can become an engineer when I grow up. Then I can help design the trains of the future and make a contribution to the development of our country!
Thank you!
