My dream town 我的理想小镇

If you have a town, what do you want it to be like? Well, this is my dream town. Welcome to it!

You can’t see tall buildings in my dream town. All the houses are built with wood. The street is not wide(宽的) but clean. There are not cars, buses or motorbikes. The town is not big. It doesn’t take you a lot of time to walk from one place to another. Everybody walks!

In the town, there are a lot of trees and flowers. My favourite tree is the willow(柳树). So there must be many willows in the town. If there are willows, there must be a river. Yes, I want a small river in my dream town. Children can play games or just have a walk along the river. It must be very pleasant.

Of course, my dream town is different from the old towns in old China. There are good schools and hospitals in it. People can buy all kinds of things in the small shops.

About 60 Australian exchange students come to Nanjing International(国际) School for three weeks. During this time, the Australian and Chinese students find out lots of surprising things about each other.

Millie finds Chinese students don't care much about breakfast. She says, “Breakfast is our most important meal in a day. We have bread, fruit, milk and corn. They are very healthy.” Her favourite Chinese food is rice. It smells nice.

Zhu Yajie is shy when Australian students try to give her a hug(拥抱). The 14-year-old girl only shakes hands with them. “They tell me they usually greet(问候) their good friends by hugging,” says Zhu.

Tang Siyu has a quarrel(争吵) with her parents. She doesn’t think her parents understand her. But after talking to Ross, a 15-year-old Australian girl, she learns some new ideas. She goes to say sorry to her parents. They have a nice talk. Then they understand each other.
