"To raise snails （蜗牛） well， you need to spray （喷） water to the container（容器）every morning and evening，change soil every two weeks， and feed them with vegetables and sweet fruits，" said Sun Youxiang after raising snails for one year． He is a fourth﹣grade primary school student in Hangzhou， Zhejiang Province．From three white jade snails at the very beginning to more than sixty snails of four generations （代） now， he has done a great job for his science class．

Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures （生物） in a friendly way． Starting from this year． science will become an important subject as Chinese and math in primary schools in order to improve students' knowledge about the things around us． Because of curiosity （好奇心）， more kids will be willing to watch and think through practising． It will add to our knowledge of the world in the long run．

I'm Mike Smith， a doctor from London， I really feel that life in China is changing so quickly， Recently I had a business trip to Tianjin， I lift my Beijing apartment and walked half a street to the subway station． About twelve stops later， I reached the high speed rail station． After two minutes of security（安检）， I pick up my ticket， which I had bought on my phone while on the subway． Then I walked to the terminal（终点） and got on the train． Twenty﹣eight minutes later I was in the center of a beautiful city﹣Tianjin． I could enjoy a nice walk along the riverside towards my hotel． It is amazing that the whole experience took more than a few hours， with no cars ， no airport， no credit cards（信用卡） and no long lines， just my smart phone， only a few US dollars and comfortable walking shoes， In most places in the developed world， there is no experience like this． But China is different．
So in my opinion， if we think highly of China's modern wonders， I believe its high speed rail system must be one of them． And it's one symbol of a new China's strength as well．
