Last weekend we took a trip to Suzhou! I really loved the city and all the beautiufl gardens. My friend, Kelli from America, also came to visit me and was able to come to Suzhou with us. We stayed at a hostel and met lots of really nice people. We met a boy and a girl who were both from Wuhan. They both had really fantastic English. They were working for an American company in Shanghai and so they used English often.We talked about books and movies and traveling. The boy had just returned home from a trip to Sri Lanka. We also went to a Taoist temple which I thought was very interesting since I had to read the Tao te Ching in a University class back home. Then we went shopping and did some more sight seeing. The next day we visted the gardens and canals. There were some really beutiful sights to see! The gardens were very lovely, and the old street was filled with interesting architecture and people. It was a great trip! I have really enjoyed visiting the cities located in Jiangsu. I think Jiangsu has some of the prettiest cities in China. I'm really glad my friend from home was able to come so she could also experience China and see all the great things it has to offer and it was a lot of fun to show her around Yangzhong! 上星期我们去了苏州一趟。我非常喜欢这个城市和它美丽的园林。我的朋友凯丽也和我一起去了。我们呆在苏州一家旅馆里，遇见了许多的友好的人。我们遇到了来自武汉的一男一女。他们的英语都不错。他们在上海一家美国公司工作，所以他们英语讲得非常流畅。我们谈论了书，电影以及旅游。这个男孩刚刚从斯里兰卡回国。我们还去了道观，自从我在大学里读了道德经之后我就对此很感兴趣。然后我们就去逛街。第二天我们参观了园林和沟渠。这些景色太美了，园林很可爱，老街也充满了古老的建筑，满街都是人。这次旅行太棒了。我真的很喜欢江苏的城市。我认为江苏有中国最美的城市。我真的很开心来自美国的朋友们能来，并且能来中国体验生活能够看到中国所有美好的东西，带她参观扬中真是太棒了。 |
