Saturday April 4th. 2004 Sunny

National Day is coming, so I decide to make a wall newspaper to celebrate it. First, I want to tell something about the history of China. I think that can make the students know what the people suffered in old China, so that they can love our new China more.

Second, I want to compare people’s living level in recent years to that when our PRC was just founded. Through the comparison, we can see that our country has made great progress in a few decades, therefore we can firm our determination of socialist route.

In a word, I want to let my classmates know that our country is a great country. She is sure more prosperous in the future.
