Zheng He was a famous Chinese explorer. In 1405, he set off from China on the first of seven great voyages. This was nearly a century before Christopher Columbus first set sail on his journey of discovery to America. His travels were so important that they are still studied today.
Zheng He was born in Yunnan in 1371. He managed to become a trusted Official of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty. The emperor ordered Zheng He to visit and explore the lands outside China. His task was to develop relations and set up trade routes with foreign countries. In a few years, he built a great fleet of ships, the biggest in the world at that time. The ships were known as treasure ships. They were big enough to carry 25,000 people as well as a very large number of goods.
From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on seven trips and visited South East Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa. It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit. These voyages allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk.

Boys and girls
With the development of the Internet, many students have smartphones.
The students often spend so much time in playing games with them that they feel very tired. Some students don't finish their homework on time. Some even sleep in class. Besides, smartphones do harm to people's health. As a result, some students' eyesight is becoming poorer and poorer.
To avoid these disadvantages, I think we should make some changes. First, we should keep away from smartphones and work hard. Second, stay with our family members or friends if we are free and talk with them about our daily lives, feelings and so on. Third, take an active part in all kinds of activities, such as playing basketball, singing songs and so on.
That's all. Thank you! Li Hua(北京)股份有限公司
