You must have heard of many European cities like Paris, London, Berlin and Rome. What about Copenhagen? It is the capital of Denmark. But do you know another name of it? It is also called " Europe's bicycle capital". In the city, people enjoy a large network of bike paths. Of course, this is a nice, green life.
However, this has caused an unusual problem—bike jams ! And they are becoming regular on some city streets. So, recently, Copenhagen has decided to build bicycle highways !
Then, what will a bicycle highway look like? It is a road with a bike path on either side. The road itself is built for buses and cars only. But each bike path will be built four meters wide! And traffic lights will let bicycles go first. In the future, bike highways will be with bike stops. At the stops, the persons who ride bikes can take a rest and mend bikes. Besides, some bicycle highways will link the suburbs(郊区) with the center of Copenhagen. So, people can travel across Copenhagen by bike quickly and safely.
You may say that the idea of bicycle highways sounds like a dream. But just as a writer once said, "If you will do it, it is no dream. "

Do you know how to write an English letter and envelope?
When we write a letter in Chinese, we always put the date at the end of the letter. But it is different in English. We have to put it on the top of the right corner. And above the date, we also write the number of our house and the names of our street, city and country. To begin the letter, we always use the word like "Dear sir", "Dear Mr./Miss./Ms.…". To end the letter, we usually use words like "Yours”, “Yours ever" or "Truly yours".
