During the last winter holiday, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with deep impression.

As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there learn English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing will hold the 29th Olympic Games and they want most foreigners to understand them. They strictly keep the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, its name is the Summer Palace, and although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.

We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be hold were even better than it. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival, the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggages, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

How much paper do you use every year? Maybe you can’t answer this question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram(千克)for each person in a year. Now some countries use 50 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. But countries like America, England and Sweden(瑞典), certainly use more paper than other countries.

Paper was first made in China about 2,000 years ago. It was made from the hairline parts of certain plants. Paper was not made in southern Europe(欧洲)until about the year 1100. In 1500, a German named Schaeffer found out that one could make the best paper from trees. After that the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, America, Finland(芬兰)became the most important ones in paper making.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books and writing paper. But there are many other kinds of use. Only half the paper is used for books and magazines. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated(隔绝)with paper. You may see some people sleep on a large number of newspapers. They’re insulating themselves from the cold. In Finland the temperature is sometimes 40 degrees centigrade(摄氏). The farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.

Each year more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. Now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. With paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones.

People have made paper boats, but they haven’t made paper planes or cars. Just wait--they perhaps will be used someday by each person in a year in some countries.
