　　It is known to all that China developed so fast in the last decades. A lot of foreigners have seen its changes. Here are what they think.
James from the US: Over the last several years, great changes have taken place in their lives. The life of my friend Wang Qi is a good example. When I first came to China, his family lived in a small house in a village. They never had spare money for snacks, clothing, or travel. But now they live in a big, comfortable apartment(公寓) near the city centre. They often go out to eat on weekends. They sometimes go shopping for fashionable clothes and like to travel during holidays.
Linda from Australia: I used to think “Made in China” was the bad quality, but now these three words represent(代表) the products with low prices and good quality. Since the popularity(流行) of Taobao, many foreigners feel like finding a door to another world, because the products they bought surprised them. They are also surprised by the new online payment, Alipay and WeChat Pay.
Emily from the UK: Transportation has been greatly changed in China in the past few years. In ancient times, people used to travel by horse or carriage(马车). Then people had buses, trains and ships. Now they have not only more private cars, but also planes and high-speed trains. All of the modern transport could offer people quick and pleasant travel.

Long ago, people did not need money.They lived on wild animals, fruit and other plants.
As time went by, people learned to raise animals and crops.Sometimes families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families.(1)Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today.They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money.They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and they lasted for a long time.Later, countries began to make their own coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century.The Italian traveller Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s.(2)However, European countries did not start using paper money until the 1600s.
Today we have many ways to pay for things.We do not only use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
