Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) sailed from Lisbon in 1497 on a mission to reach India and open a sea route from Western Europe to the east by way of the Cape of Good Hope(好望角).

Reaching out Across the Sea
Trade and curiosity have often formed the foundation of mankind's greatest achievements. To complete the great map of the world was a strong passion for the people of early civilisations. Marco Polo's tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east. However, merchants and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before Columbus first did.

In ancient times, silk from China found its way overland
to India, the Middle East, and Rome, along what became
known as the Silk Road. A trading route across the sea
was also extended along the coasts of the Indian Ocean,
centred around Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Here, merchants
from China and many other places met to negotiate trade
deals, which also led to more awareness of each other's
cultures. Over the centuries, further trading allowed more exploration of the regions to the west of China, as recorded
in Du Huan's Record of My Travels in the eighth century.

Later, the Ming Dynasty further developed relations with these regions. Between 1405 and 1433, seven large fleets sailed west on voyages of trade and exploration. These fleets were a sight to behold and were in a league of their own at that time. Under the command of Zheng He, they set sail from the South China Sea across the Indian Ocean to the mouth of the Red Sea, and then to the east coast of Africa. African royal families sent gifts such as giraffes as gestures of friendship in return for gold, silk, and spices. Although China withdrew from further expeditions after 1433, these land and sea routes remained active channels between other cultures for centuries.

Think about the following question and write a short essay
As students what contributions could we make to the Belt and Road Initiative
Homework
There is no doubt that the Belt and Road is the hottest issue recently. As students, what contributions can we make to it
Firstly, we can participate in social volunteer activities which benefit understanding the development of society deeply. In addition, we should study hard and learn more about Chinese culture so that we can spread our excellent culture to the world through our professional knowledge. Finally, English learning is important for us because we can introduce the advantages of the Belt and Road Initiative to foreigners in English and encourage more countries to join it.
All in all, we should start with little things and keep doing them.
