In Japan, most students take trains to school, although others also walk or ride their bikes. In China, it depends on where you are. In big cities, students usually ride bikes to school or take buses. And in places where there are rivers and lakes, like Hongshanhu and Kaishandao, students usually go to school by boat.

　　本课堂以阅读及Group work为主，学生主动积极，课堂气氛很热烈，一些英语基础较差的学生也开口说英语了，这令人很欣慰。且学生对本单元的三个句型掌握得很好。
