Some students from my class will go to China and travel on the Silk Road.

Mr. Smith: Who will lead the trip?
Jenny: Ms. Martin! Here is the note from my school.

Lesson 6: Jenny’s Diary
Dear Diary,
This is our last night in China. We will fly home tomorrow. We did so much on this trip.
This afternoon, we went to see the Beijing Opera. Wow! I loved the music and the colourful clothing.
Yesterday was a great day. In the afternoon, we went to the Great Wall. It is amazing! It is about 6 300 kilometres long and over 2 000 years old. Then, in the evening, we went to the Bird’s Nest. It is only a few years old, but it is a very famous and beautiful building. It held the 2008 Olympics. Danny looked for birds there. But of course — he didn’t find any.
China is a great country. Where else can you travel thousands of years back in time? We saw the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Walled City and the Yellow River.
I learned so much about Chinese history and culture on this trip.
I learned about a new instrument — the erhu. And I ate some delicious food.
I can’t believe our trip is over. I will miss China. I will come back someday.

Lesson 8: Marco Polo and the Silk Road
Hello, everyone!
My project is about Marco Polo and the Silk Road.
Marco Polo was a man from Italy. At the age of 17, he went to China.
He travelled along the Silk Road with his father and uncle. Together, they moved goods between Europe and Asia on the Silk Road. Later, Marco Polo travelled with his brother. They travelled on boats, horses and camels. Their journey lasted about twenty years!
In 1275, Marco Polo travelled to Beijing. He met the king and worked for him for 17 years. During those years, Marco Polo learned about coal and paper. The Chinese discovered coal and invented paper. These things were new to Marco Polo. He brought some coal and paper back to Italy with him.
He also brought back a lot of silk, tea and other goods.
Marco Polo wrote a famous book about his travels to China. I hope to write a book like that someday.
Thank you.

Lesson 11: Food in China
Jenny goes online to tell others about the food in China.
(Jenny) Hello, everyone! I just got back from a trip to the Silk Road in China.
Everything was great — especially the food!
My favourite dishes were Beijing Duck and Lanzhou noodles. What’s so special about these two dishes? Well, they have a lot of history behind them. Beijing Duck is really a Chinese treasure. It takes a lot of work, but the end product is worth it. Lanzhou noodles are long hand-made noodles. They look good and taste great! Do you want to taste these wonderful foods from China?

Hello, everyone!
How are you? I’m doing well. Life in China is great! I arrived two months ago. I was quite nervous then. But everyone here is so friendly and nice. Now I feel quite comfortable and relaxed. My students are wonderful and the other teachers are always helpful.
My school is very big. I have many students in my class. In Canada, there are usually only 35 students in a class. And they move from classroom to classroom for their classes. But in China, the teachers move!
Chinese students work very hard. They usually start school at 8:00 a.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m. Chinese teachers work very hard, too.
I’m so happy to be in China. I am learning so much here. My students often teach me Chinese. They also teach me about their culture. It’s so interesting!
