How do you usually travel between cities By bus, train or plane
Have you ever taken a very slow train How did it feel
If a trip used to take 10 hours but now takes only 4 hours, how would that change your life
Think of one change in your hometown’s transportation over the past five years. How has it changed your daily life You can use numbers to support your idea.
1a
Does your hometown have a train system How does it benefit local lives
No, my hometown Xinning County doesn’t have any train system at all. There are no railway stations or train lines around our town and schools.
Since we don’t have trains, local people mainly take buses to travel. Without trains, we can’t take fast, cheap rail transport. It brings some inconvenience to our daily lives. For example, students who need to go to other cities for exams have to spend much more time on slow coaches. Also, local farmers find it harder to send fresh fruit and agricultural products to faraway markets quickly.
How does it affect our local lives
If the only way to carry goods from the port to the capital takes 10 hours by train, what problems do you think the local people will face
Why do you think a new railway built with China's help can change this situation
Look at the title and the picture. What is the text probably about Then read it quickly to check your prediction.
1b

What do you think the "fast track" in the title really refers to The train, or something bigger

1e
Paragraph 1 introduction The new train line was in 2017.
old railway Built in 1901; trains were very slow; 10-hour trip between two cities; only rough roads and this old line for transport
Paragraph 2 new railway Built with China’s help; 480 kilometres long; travel time cut to about 4 hours; over 2 million passengers every year
Paragraph 3 comments from locals government worker: He is satisfied with the Chinese-built railway; local towns have changed a lot and residents become wealthy.

supermarket manager: Only 2–3 trains can carry the food that once needed hundreds of lorries, supplying more fresh food for people.
Paragraph 4 conclusion The railway proves that different countries can cooperate to create a better world.
opened
Why do you think the writer chose these three people instead of just one
Using three people gives us a more complete picture of the railway’s benefits. The new railway benefits all kinds of people in different ways. One person cannot show these different changes.选取三位不同身份的受访者，能让我们更全面地展现这条铁路带来的利好。这条新建铁路以不同方式惠及各类人群，仅靠单一受访者无法完整呈现这些多元变化。
Yes, I have. I’ve heard of the China-Laos Railway that opened in 2021. The railway runs 1,035 km and connects Kunming in Southwest China's Yunnan Province to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. It now takes about 10 hours to travel between the two cities by train. The railway not only connects the two cities as well as the two countries more closely, but also makes a big difference in local people's lives. It provides people in Laos with more than 110,000 jobs.
Discuss the questions.
1. Have you seen or heard of any similar changes in the world over the last several years Where was it and what happened
是的，我听说过。我了解 2021 年通车的中老铁路。这条铁路全长 1035 公里，连接中国西南云南省昆明市与老挝首都万象。如今搭乘火车往返两座城市仅需约 10 小时。这条铁路不仅拉近了两座城市、两国之间的联系，也极大改变了当地民众的生活，为老挝民众创造了超 11 万个
2. In what other ways can China work together with other countries to build a better world
China can work with other countries in many ways to build a better world.
First, China can help build more roads, hospitals and schools in developing countries.
Second, China can share new technologies, like farming methods, with other countries.
Third, China can work with other countries on environmental protection.
Finally, China can provide cultural exchanges, like student exchange programs, to help people from different countries understand each other better.
中国可以通过多种方式与各国合作，共建美好世界。
首先，中国可以助力发展中国家修建更多公路、医院和学校。
其次，中国可以向各国分享新技术，例如农业种植技术。
第三，中国可与各国共同开展环境保护合作。
最后，中国可以搭建文化交流平台，比如交换生项目，让不同国家的民众增进相互理解。
Besides the benefits mentioned in the text, what other changes might the new railway bring to Kenya
More tourists will come to visit.
More jobs will be created.
Students can go to better schools far away.
The country will develop faster.
