Step I Greetings and revision
T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls!
Ss: Good morning / afternoon, Mr / Ms…!
T: At the beginning ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the new class, I’d like to check your homework first.
Check whether the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y have remembered to surf the net for information about Canada.
Check whether they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have previewed the new words and expressions in this unit. Then the teacher writes down: The Maple Leaf Country.
Step II Introduction
Task 1 Introduce a map
T: Well, look at th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e title of this module. Can you guess which country is the Maple Leaf Country
Ss: Canada.
T: Right. Can you tell me which one is the flag of Canada
The teacher show some flags of some countries.
Ss: Yes.
Then the teacher shows the flag of Canada to Ss.
T: Good. If yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u learn something about a country, what do you want to know
S1: I’d like to know its history and famous people.
S2: I’d like to know its places of interests.
S3: I’d like to know its population, location, size and weather.
S4: I’d like to know its agriculture and industry.
S5: I’d like to know its education, capital and typical cities.
…
T: Good. Today let’s get close to a country. Look at the map.
Show the map on the slide.
T: Now work i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n groups and discuss the questions on Page 71. (After a few minutes.) Ready
Ss: Yes.
T: How many different countries can you see in the map
S1: I can see two: Canada and the USA.
T: Which places have you heard of and what do you know about them
S2: I’ve ever heard o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Ottawa, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and so on. Ottawa is the capital of Canada. Quebec is one of Canada’s ten provinces, which has a majority of French speakers and whose official language is only French in comparison with other places whose official languages are English and French. Montreal and Toronto are two of the major cities of Canada, among which Toronto is the largest fast- growing metropolis of Canada.
T: Great. And what do you think the climate is like in Canada
S3: Because both Canad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a and China belong to the north Hemisphere of our planet, I think the climate of Canada is similar to that of China, which varies from area to area and from season to season. In the north of Canada, the winters are long and hard with snow for six months of the year. Sometimes the temperatures can fall to -60°c. The west coast of Canada is the warmest place in winter. The average January temperature is 3c, while in July it may reach 18°c.
T: Well done. You got ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the information. In fact, there is another country in the map. Look at the corner of the map on the right. It is Greenland that belongs to Denmark. Now here comes some information about Canada. Please read it as fast as you can and then tell whether the following statements are true or not.
Go around, helping the students with their difficulties.
T: Now check t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he true statements. They are: (Inspire Ss answer together.)
Ss: Sentences 1, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 2, 3 and 6 are true. And number 4 and 5 are wrong. Canada creates almost all its own energy. Most of the population live in the south of the country.
T: Yes. And only Russ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ia is larger than Canada. Canada occupies more or less half of the North America. Now I’ll explain some words and expressions to you.
Notes: more or less = about
e.g. It’s an hour’s journey, more or less.
A population of
e.g. This city has a population of 6 million.
This city has a larger population than that city.
What’s the population of the city
Step III Listening and vocabulary
Pre-listening
T: Now we are going ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to listen to a passage. Before we start the listening part, look at the names of the Canadian provinces on the map on Page 71. Then discuss the following questions in groups.
Show the questions of Part 1 on Page 76 on the slide.
T: Which province ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) names look as if they were derived from the name of people
S4:
T: Which names look as if they were derived from English words

S7:
T: Great.
While-listening
T: Now please tu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn to page 76, Activity 2, 3 and 4. Listen to the tape for the first time and complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in the box. (After they have finished, check the answers.)
Suggested answers to Activity 2:
1. beating 2. named after; royal family 3. derived
4. First Nations people 5. fast- flowing
T: OK. Let’s list ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en to the tape for the second time and then deal with Activity 3 and 4. Check the provinces which were named after members of the British royal family.
Play the tape recorder again. Then check the answer.
T: Now match the o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther provinces with the meaning of their names.
Step IV More listening
Pre-listening
T: Let’s go to Page ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 125. Think over a little bit and then deal with Activity 13. Please choose the correct meaning for these words and expressions.
While-listening
T: Good. Now ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we are going to listen to a passage. Listen to the tape for the first time and deal with Activity 14.
Then ask Ss speak out the answer together.
T: Great. Now listen again and answer the questions in Activity 15.

T: Good morning, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )boys and girls! OK, let’s check your homework. Who’d like to answer the questions
Help them ask the questions.
T: Great. Tod ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay we are going to learn how to give your opinions about some topic.
Step II Introduction
T: Now look at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Part 1 on Page 79. Here are some opinions for you to read and then express your opinions about each. You can work in pairs. (After a moment). Volunteers
S1: Let me try , I kne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w that in Canada they hunt seals every year and they can be hunted from the age of two weeks. Frankly, I think it is so cruel.
S2: I’m afraid I d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on’t agree with you. In my opinion, seal hunting is a wise decision.
S3: I’m sorr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to interrupt, but I really can’t understand why they passed such a law to allow hunting cute seals. It’s so cruel and unnecessary.
S4: I couldn’t agree more.
T: Wonderful job. (Show the screen.)

T: Look at the scr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een and read them aloud. Keep them in mind and try to use them to express your opinions.
Step IV Discussion
T: Now, let’s go to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Part 2 on Page 80. To make powerful opinions, you can use the following information to support your agreement or disagreement.
Ask the students to read it one by one.
T: Who’d like to div ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ide the arguments into two groups either in favor of or against the seal hunt in Canada
S5: I think I can do it.
Arguments in favor of Arguments against
The fishing industr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y is in decline because there are fewer fish in the Atlantic Protesters have been trying to stop the hunt.
The government says that the seals are killed in a humane way. There have been fights between hunters and protesters.
There is a demand for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fur – if there wasn’t they wouldn’t be able to sell the seal skins. Animal rights g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roups say that the hunt is unnecessary and the seals are shot or beaten to death.
The hunt is completely legal.
T: Good. Now look ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) at Activity 3. You may think of a topic to discuss in groups. Use the language above to give your opinion.
After the stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ents have finished discussion, ask one group to act it out.
SA: Our topic is kids on the Internet: control or not control
SA: As we all know, to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )day the Internet is becoming overwhelmingly popular in our life. Almost all the people, old or young will choose to go on line to find the latest information.
SB: You are right. Bu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t I’m afraid the teenagers surf the Internet not only to study but also to relax. For example, they can listen to music, watch movies and above all, chat on line to make friends and play computer games as well.
SC: In my opinion, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Internet is especially beneficial to the teenagers. To some extent, I can say, it opens young people’s eyes to know more about the world with its vivid pictures and souls rather than only need static books in the past.
SA: I can’t agr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ee more. As far as I’m concerned, the Internet is just like my best friend.
SD: Honestly, I think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you are all right. But the point is, young people have gone too far. We can’t shy away from the serious problems the Internet has brought about.
SB: You’re ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )solutely right. I strongly feel the Internet is a devil as well as an angel. Without doubt, it can offer us a world of knowledge and make our communication much easier and more convenient than before. However, young people are also facing limitless pages of pornography and violence in cyberspace. So I think our government had better make a law to control kids’ going on line.
SA: I’m sorry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) but I have to say: can we stop our kids from going out just because we say life is difficult Of course not. We can’t throw away all the apples in a basket just because among them one has gone bad.
SC: Yes, I’d go along with that.
SB: Well, I think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you’ve misunderstood my point of view. The problem is, kids are so young as to be vulnerable to some unhealthy contents on line. They can’t tell right from wrong in most cases. So if we just let it be, without any protective measures, certainly their life will be ruined.
SD: I agree. You jus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t hit the nail on the head. Don’t you think that more and more young people commit crimes, such as theft, robbing, raping to just name a few, is largely due to the bad influence of the Internet Besides, I have to say that young people’s addiction to playing unhealthy computer games has become a world-wide social problem. You may hear not for once that a lot of students play truant for weeks even for months to play games. And worse still, it’s a tragedy to see some of them commit suicide at a very young age it be.
SA: It’s really s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hocking. But I still believe we shouldn’t rely on law to approach the problem. In my opinion, it limits kids’ freedom and rights.
SC: Yes. And I th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ink young people have grown up and have the ability to control themselves. On the other hand, more often than not, the fact is that the more people are controlled, the more rebellious they will become, which can do things that make things worse. So my point is to let it be.
T: Great. Now I’ll explain some words and expressions.
Notes:
1. turn = become ( link verb)
e.g: Many years later he turned doctor. (before a noun, no article.)
As autumn comes, leaves are turning yellow and are falling down.
2. be / get out of control: become no longer manageable.
e.g. The children are out of control .
3. In decline: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) gradually and continuous loss of strength, power, numbers, etc; become less prosperous.
e.g. The sales of this company is in decline because of less demand.
4. in favor of: in support of sb. / sth.
e.g. Was he in favor of the death penalty 他赞成死刑吗？
5. be shot / beaten to death / put sb. to death.
6. signal: (n.) sign; gesture; sound , etc that conveys a message, command, etc.
e.g. She flashed the torch as a signal.
(v.) make a signal; send / express sth in this way
e.g. signal (to) the waiter to bring the menu. 示意服务员把菜单拿来。
Step V Presentation skills
T: Well, as you kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow, there is a great difference between formal and informal discussion. Who is able to tell us what is it Any volunteer
S6: As for a succe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssful informal discussion, we had better take turns to speak. Nobody is to dominate the discussion.
S7: And if you wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt to express agreeing or disagreeing, you can only use eye contact or add your it be opinion to something that has just been said.
S8: If you do want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to get in a word, you have to interrupt at a suitable time.
T: You have done ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a great job. As far as I’m concerned, before a formal discussion has been kicked off, much has to be done. Such persons are needed as Cons and Pros and as many agreements as needed must be collected. In English, it is actually called a DEBATE.

T：Have you a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll finished your homework Let’s check your discussion first. Which pair is ready
Ss: Let us have a tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y. (Introduce their roles, one in favor of it and the other against.)
T: Really good. Begin!
S1: Did you know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that in Canada, they hunt seals every year They can be hunted legally from the age of two weeks, as soon as their coats, which were white when they are born, turn a darker color. Frankly, I think it’s so cruel.
S2: You are abso ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lutely right. The hunt is completely legal. But I’m afraid I don’t agree with you. In my opinion, the hunt is a wise decision. And …
S1: I’m sorr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to interrupt, but I really can’t understand why the country passed such a law to allow hunting cute seals. It’s so cruel and unnecessary.
S2: Well, do yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u know that the fishing industry is in decline because there are fewer fish in the Atlantic
S1: Yes, of course I know that.
S2: So the thin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g is, seal hunting is an important source of income for the people of Quebec and Newfoundland. They can sell the skins and meat for millions of dollars.
S1: I’m afraid I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can’t agree. I don’t think hunting seals is the only way to solve the problem. Don’t they have other alternatives Do you think it is justified to kill these poor innocent animals
S2: You have a point ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), but there is a huge demand for fur – if there wasn’t, they wouldn’t be able to sell the skins.
S1: I can’t agre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e more. I strongly believe that people shouldn’t wear fur – it’s cruel.
S2: I don’t think s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o. Anyway there are millions of seals in Canada. If people didn’t kill them, the population of seals would get out of control.
S1: What you said so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unds reasonable. However, animal rights groups say that the hunt is unnecessary and the seals are shot or beaten to death. So the protesters have been trying to stop the hunt.
S2: I’m sorry, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) but I have to mention that the government says that seals are killed in a humane way.
S1: I doubt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )about that. If so, why have there been fights between hunters and protesters Don’t you think it would be better if we stopped the hunt and hence settled down all the problems
S2: Er ….
T: Isn’t wonderful, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )boys and girls (The students applauds.) Through listening and speaking, you have known something about Canada. Today we are going to have a close look at one of the cities in Canada and read an extract of a world best- selling novel. Are you interested in them
Ss: Sure.
Step II Lead-in
T: Before we start, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I’d like you to look at the map on the previous page, the photo and the title of the passage and then you are going to discuss the questions. (After a few minutes of thinking) Ready
S3: I’d like to giv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e an answer to question 1. Vancouver is quite different from other big Canadian cities because it is one of the most culturally and racially diverse cities in Canada and even the world. It is the symbol of multicultural Canada.
S4: The multicul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tural influence on Vancouver mainly comes from Asia, because it is Canada’s gateway to the Pacific Rim, and it is a magnet for visitors and new citizens from all parts of Asia.
S5: There are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many Chinese people living in Vancouver. For one thing, it is Canada’s gateway to the Pacific Rim, so it is very convenient for Chinese people to go there by sea. For another, there has been a Chinese community in Vancouver for more than 200 years. The Chinatown there is the third biggest in the world.
T: I couldn’t agr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ee more. Since Vancouver is said to be the symbol of multicultural Canada, from which sides should we observe Let’s move on.
Step III Reading

S7: Well, in my opinio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n, Vancouver is one of the most culturally and racially diverse cities in Canada, where all cultures and languages are respected and represented. So that’s why Canada is seen as a world leader in multicultural and diversities.
S6: Do you know what are the original inhabitants called
S7: I think it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )should be the First Nations people who have been living there for more than 10,000 years. By the way, can you tell me where they lived
S6: They lived in vi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llages of large wooden houses and each family set up a totem pole near their house.
S7: Can you tell me what the population of Vancouver is

S7: Vancouver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has the largest Chinatown in Canada, which is also the third biggest in the world. With a history of over 200 years, it is located around the Chinese Cultural Center (CCC). It’s amazing to see the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Chinese Park and Garden behind the CCC. Opened in 1986, this garden was the first full- scale classical Chinese garden ever built outside China.

SB: Wow, it’s so interesting. What was their life like
SA: They were skilfu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l craftsmen who made tools, ornaments and carvings from copper, stone, bone and wood. They ate various food: salmon, shellfish, seal and porpoise, deer, goats, bears and lots of wild fruit.
SB: How creat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive they were! And their life sounds so wonderful. I must say Vancouver is a city with a long and splendid history. Today, it has become a modern city. What changes have taken place here
SA: Definitely ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the city has changed a lot. Now it is clean, colorful and friendly where all ethnic communities are living in harmony.

T: Now, please tur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n to Page 75 and read the conversation and check the true statements.
Ss: All right.
Suggested answers:
True statements: 1, 5, 7, and 8.
2. One has plural forms in place of plural nouns.
3. We can put a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n article (a / an / the) before one, esp. a / an / the + adj. + one
4. One can only be used to replace countable nouns.
6. One can be left out after superlative adj.
9. The verb after one of is always singular form.
T: Good. So on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is a pron, it is often used to replace a noun and has plural form. Now let’s go to Activity 2. Please match the sentences with the uses of for.
Then the students wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l do the activity in pair. The teacher can go around helping with their difficulties. After a few minutes.
Suggested answers:
1. to expresses personal reactions.
2. to talk about the purpose of an object

Ss: Adverb.
T: Right. Now let’s work together to give it a good summary.
Still: 1. up to and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )including the present time or the time mentioned
到目前或当时为止；仍然，依旧，还是
e.g. She is still busy.
Do you still live here
I still can’t decide yet.
2. in spite of that, nevertheless, even so
尽管那样，不过，虽然如此
e.g. He’s trea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted you badly; still, he is your brother and you should help him.
Although he felt ill, she still went to work.
3. (与比较级连用) in a greater amount or degree, even. 更，还要
e.g. Tom is tall, but Mary is still taller.
T: So much f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or the explanations of Still. You are going to answer questions in Activity 3.
Suggested answers:
Q1: The speaker has been trying to decide something for a long time.
Q2: It has b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een cold for a long time before the moment of speaking. It is cold now. The speaker is expressing surprise about the weather now.
Q3: “Still” is used h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere to emphasize how high Churchill peak is: it’s even / much higher than Mount Columbia.
Q4: “Still” here means “despite the expense”.
T: OK. Now, go on Act ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ivity 4 on Page 75, plete the conversation with one, for, still or other words.
Then check the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nswer together and ask the students to read the conversation in pairs.
T: Here is something you still need to pay more attention.
Notes:
1. I don’t want a coat made of that material, though.
Though: an adverb h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere usually used at the end of a sentence with a comma before.
e.g. It is cold today. It’s a fine day, though.
However, thoug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h / although are often seen as a conj., leading to an adverbial clause.
e.g. Though / Although he tried hard, he failed again.
2 …, but Churchill Peak is higher still.
When modifying an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) adj., still is either put before the comparative adj. or after it.
We still have such words like “still”, as much, even, far, etc.
3. despite: prep. in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )spite of; without being affected by ( the factors mentioned)
e.g. They had a wonderful holiday, despite the bad weather.

T: Good. Let’s s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ummarize the main usage of could. It is a modal verb., which can express possibility, ability, offers / requests, permission and suggestions/ requests. Now look at Part 2. Choose the best meanings.
Check the answer together.
T: You’ve got right an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )swers. Like can be used as a verb. and prep. (喜欢；像) Then let’s deal with Activity 3 on the same page. Please rewrite the underlined words with the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box.
Suggested answers:
1. A: places = areas B: place = city; place = house
2. A. place = home B: place = restaurant

Step V Discussion
T: Boys and girls, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) story of when Britain and France went to war must leave you thinking. Let’s discuss the following questions (ask students to do pair work or group work) Ready
S16: With European cou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntries like Britain and France becoming powerful in economy, they wanted to expand their power to every corner of the world to enhance their leading position in the world. So they wanted colonies in North America.
S17: Yes, of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )course. At that time, native people, called First Nations people were living there. Actually, they had been living there for thousands of years.
S18: The native inhabi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tants didn’t like it when European countries colonized their land. Colonizing forces there took away their land as their own, bringing with them European culture, customs, religion as well as disease which killed native people in large numbers. All of these were more insult than benefits. Thus, to some extent, colonizing life was a nightmare to native people, bringing them a world of tears and sorrow.
T: It seems that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all of you have got a good understanding of the passages. If you have any problems, ask your partner or ask me after class.

Step I Revision
Check homework.
T: Morning, boys an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d girls! I’d like to see how you have prepared your homework — a discussion on Page 81. Any pair wants to act their dialogue out
Ss: Let’s have a try.
SA: Which themes do you think are typical of Chinese literature
SB: Love, mytho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )logy, martial arts and chivalrous nature and social issues, etc. are all typical, I think.
SA: Can you give me examples
SB: Well, ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e are numerous examples of excellent literature works in Chinese history. As for love stories, the most well-known is The Story of Two Butterflies — Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

SB: The best and mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t classical novel should be Journey To The West. The image of monkey king is so vivid that Sun Wukong has become a household name all over the country.
SA: Well, that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is it. It is said that young kids in China grow up by watching the two series of the stories. But my favorite novels are stories about martial arts and chivalrous, especially the novels written by Jin Yong. They’re so exciting, which always reflect the power of Chinese traditional martial arts and ordinary people’s ideal dreams of killing the wicked and helping the poor and weak.
SB: As far as I’m con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cerned, my favorite works are those about love, nature and social problems. Love can make me hopeful for my life and future. Nature works can make me peaceful and calm down in such a noisy world, while stories about serious social issues can make me become thoughtful and practical to adapt to the modern life.
SA: Among all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the themes, which do you think can be found in every literature all over the world
SB: In my view, l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ove and nature are the ever-lasting themes, which is evident in numerous poetry, essays, novels and so on.
SA: I couldn’t agree more.
T: Wonderful job.

Dear Ann,
In you last le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tter, you told me you wanted to know something about the city where I live and the school where I study. Today, I am very glad to introduce them to you and hope you can like it.
Located in Western ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Henan Province, Luoyang stretches over both the southern and northern banks of the Yellow River. “Lying in the centre of the earth”, she is one of the most important places of origin of Chinese civilization. The city is named Luoyang because it lies in the south of the Luo River.
It covers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a total area of 15,208 square kilometres, including 544 square kilometres of urban area, with a population of 6.1 million, 1.35 million of which are city inhabitants. Luoyang has as many as 32 ethnic nationalities, and among them Han nationality has 6.02 million, occupying 98.8%, and other ethnic minorities amount to 80 thousand, occupying 1.2%. The largest minority is Hui nationality which has a population of 60 thousand, occupying more than 70% of the minorities.
Blessed with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a favorable geographic location and convenient transportation, Luoyang enjoys a mild climate with a clear distinction between the seasons. The yearly average temperature is 14.20C, which makes it a pleasant place to live in. Luoyang not only enjoys a good name for traffic convenience but also she enjoys a military importance, and thus it has always been an ideal place for kings of many dynasties to build their capitals. From the first dynasty in history — Xia dynasty, 13 dynasties have built their capitals here.
Since 1983, Luoyang ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Peony Fair has been held every year from 15th to 25th in April to welcome people all over the world and to develop economy. Besides, Luoyang has seven places of national preservation of cultural relics, 53 provincial ones and more than 650 at the city level. Long Men grotto is one of the three greatest treasures of stone inscription, while white Horse Temple is the first temple built since the introduction of Buddhism into China, to name just a few. Every visitor to Luoyang is deeply impressed by its rich history, splendid civilization, and unique sources of tourism: beautiful scenery, sweet flowers and people’s hospitality.
When we talk abou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t Luoyang, we have to mention Luoyang Foreign Language School, a promising school in Luoyang.
