The road to peace
通往和平之路
Among the many horrors inflicted on humanity by the Second World War was the massive bombing of civilians, often referred to as "terror bombing". The purpose of doing this was to destroy the morale of ordinary people and stop them from supporting the war effort. The Japanese used terror bombing in China, especially in Chongqing, which they bombed more than 200 times over the duration of five and a half years (1938-1943), killing thousands of Chinese civilians.
在第二次世界大战对人类造成的许多恐怖中，对平民的大规模轰炸通常被称为“恐怖轰炸”。这样做的目的是摧毁普通民众的士气，阻止他们支持战争。日本对中国特别是重庆进行了恐怖轰炸，在5年半的时间里（1938 ~ 1943年）轰炸了200多次，造成数千名中国平民死亡。

Interviewer: ①Today, I'm talking to Ms Gao Li and Mr Gao Ming. ②The brother and sister were living in Chongqing during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and ③experienced the five-year terror bombing campaign by Japanese forces. Ms Gao, what are your first memories of that time
Gao Li: I was only eight years old when the bombing started in the year 1938, and the first bombs fell a long way away from our house. I remember our house shook and I saw fires in the distance.
Interviewer: That must be terrible for a child! And Mr Gao, what are your first memories of the bombing
Gao Ming: Well, I was three years older than my sister. The first thing I remember was the bombing planes. They flew so low. I went out on the street to watch.
Interviewer: How did you feel when you went into the street
Gao Ming: Well, at first I was fascinated by the planes and the noise they made, but soon I was scared.
Interviewer: I can only imagine how it must have felt. What was the most terrible experience you had during that time, Ms Gao
Tapescripts
Gao Li: Well, I'll never forget what happened on the fifth of June 1941. I remember the Japanese were targeting the residential areas. There wasn't enough time for us to get to the bomb shelter so we stayed in the basement.
Interviewer: How long did the bombing last on that day
Gao Li: We waited for five hours until the bombing stopped. It was absolutely terrifying. Our house was destroyed, and dead bodies could be seen all over the street. Over 4,000 people were killed that day.
Interviewer: I'm sorry to hear that. Mr Gao, how do you feel when you think about it now
Gao Ming: I feel sad for all the victims, but the bombing didn't destroy our fighting spirit.
Gao Li:Yes, despite everything, around 960,000 of the city's soldiers went to the front to fight the Japanese. It's no wonder Chongqing became known as the “city of heroes”.
Interviewer: And how are they remembered today
Gao Ming: Every year on the fifth of June, the air raid warning is sounded across the city. It gives us an opportunity to mourn those we lost, and reminds us to cherish the peace we enjoy today.

What is the significance of UN peacekeeping missions
What role is China playing in UN peacekeeping
8
The cruelty of war is reason enough to do everything we can to prevent it. This is the motivation behind the United Nation’s many peacekeeping missions. Peacekeepers monitor the peace process in areas that have experienced friction and civil wars, making sure that previously warring parties keep to their agreements. They work to disarm combatants and to secure weapons and ammunition, removing them from use. These measures aim to give stability to conflict zones and allow governments to reestablish authority. China is playing an increasingly important role in UN peacekeeping and it has trained 8,000 troops who are kept on standby for UN missions. Chinese peacekeeping forces are highly-valued in conflict zones and have received praise for their professionalism.
Read the introduction to UN peacekeeping and answer the questions. Pay attention to the words and expressions in bold.
战争的残酷足以成为我们尽一切努力防止战争发生的理由。这就是联合国许多维持和平特派团背后的动机。维持和平人员在经历过摩擦和内战的地区监测和平进程，确保以前的交战各方遵守协议。他们的工作是解除战斗人员的武装，确保武器和弹药的安全，使其不再使用。这些措施旨在给冲突地区带来稳定，并允许政府重建权威。中国在联合国维和行动中发挥着越来越重要的作用，为联合国维和任务培训了8000名待命部队。中国维和部队在冲突地区受到高度评价，并因其专业精神而受到赞誉。

The road to peace
通往和平之路
Among the many horrors inflicted on humanity by the Second World War was the massive bombing of civilians, often referred to as "terror bombing". The purpose of doing this was to destroy the morale of ordinary people and stop them from supporting the war effort. The Japanese used terror bombing in China, especially in Chongqing, which they bombed more than 200 times over the duration of five and a half years (1938-1943), killing thousands of Chinese civilians.
在第二次世界大战对人类造成的许多恐怖中，对平民的大规模轰炸通常被称为“恐怖轰炸”。这样做的目的是摧毁普通民众的士气，阻止他们支持战争。日本对中国特别是重庆进行了恐怖轰炸，在5年半的时间里（1938 ~ 1943年）轰炸了200多次，造成数千名中国平民死亡。

Activity 5
Interviewer: ①Today, I'm talking to Ms Gao Li and Mr Gao Ming. ②The brother and sister were living in Chongqing during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and ③experienced the five-year terror bombing campaign by Japanese forces. Ms Gao, what are your first memories of that time
Gao Li: I was only eight years old when the bombing started in the year 1938, and the first bombs fell a long way away from our house. I remember our house shook and I saw fires in the distance.
Interviewer: That must be terrible for a child! And Mr Gao, what are your first memories of the bombing
Gao Ming: Well, I was three years older than my sister. The first thing I remember was the bombing planes. They flew so low. I went out on the street to watch.
Interviewer: How did you feel when you went into the street
Gao Ming: Well, at first I was fascinated by the planes and the noise they made, but soon I was scared.
Interviewer: I can only imagine how it must have felt. What was the most terrible experience you had during that time, Ms Gao
Tapescripts
Gao Li: Well, I'll never forget what happened on the fifth of June 1941. I remember the Japanese were targeting the residential areas. There wasn't enough time for us to get to the bomb shelter so we stayed in the basement.
Interviewer: How long did the bombing last on that day
Gao Li: We waited for five hours until the bombing stopped. It was absolutely terrifying. Our house was destroyed, and dead bodies could be seen all over the street. Over 4,000 people were killed that day.
Interviewer: I'm sorry to hear that. Mr Gao, how do you feel when you think about it now
Gao Ming: I feel sad for all the victims, but the bombing didn't destroy our fighting spirit.
Gao Li:Yes, despite everything, around 960,000 of the city's soldiers went to the front to fight the Japanese. It's no wonder Chongqing became known as the “city of heroes”.
Interviewer: And how are they remembered today
Gao Ming: Every year on the fifth of June, the air raid warning is sounded across the city. It gives us an opportunity to mourn those we lost, and reminds us to cherish the peace we enjoy today.

What is the significance of UN peacekeeping missions
What role is China playing in UN peacekeeping

The cruelty of war is reason enough to do everything we can to prevent it. This is the motivation behind the United Nation’s many peacekeeping missions. Peacekeepers monitor the peace process in areas that have experienced friction and civil wars, making sure that previously warring parties keep to their agreements. They work to disarm combatants and to secure weapons and ammunition, removing them from use. These measures aim to give stability to conflict zones and allow governments to reestablish authority. China is playing an increasingly important role in UN peacekeeping and it has trained 8,000 troops who are kept on standby for UN missions. Chinese peacekeeping forces are highly-valued in conflict zones and have received praise for their professionalism.
Read the introduction to UN peacekeeping and answer the questions. Pay attention to the words and expressions in bold.
战争的残酷足以成为我们尽一切努力防止战争发生的理由。这就是联合国许多维持和平特派团背后的动机。维持和平人员在经历过摩擦和内战的地区监测和平进程，确保以前的交战各方遵守协议。他们的工作是解除战斗人员的武装，确保武器和弹药的安全，使其不再使用。这些措施旨在给冲突地区带来稳定，并允许政府重建权威。中国在联合国维和行动中发挥着越来越重要的作用，为联合国维和任务培训了8000名待命部队。中国维和部队在冲突地区受到高度评价，并因其专业精神而受到赞誉。
