Dear Paul,

I am extremely delighted to hear from you. In response to your request, I am writing for the purpose of offering some practical suggestions on how to make preparations for your oral report.

The relevant proposals are mainly as follows. First and foremost, it is highly suggested that you take full advantage of some reference books or browse the Internet to select one of your favorite ancient Chinese scientists. In addition, it is advisable for you to form a systematic view of his story by learning about his life and some of his representative works.

In the left picture, we are greeted by a scene that a group of youngsters are flocking to the residents’ fitness area and one of them exclaims, “It’s so marvellous and convenient to have a park built nearby!” The chart on the right illustrates that there are an increasing number of parks in the past three years, surging from 406 to 670.

Out of the information conveyed in the images, as a matter of fact, will emerge a sense that inhabitants have been benefiting from the progress made in China’s infrastructure. For one thing, residents can have easier access to workout facilities, thus granting them a stronger body and rewarding experience. Undoubtedly, it is attributed to the resilience and dynamism of China’s economy and accompanying livelihood construction. For another, the construction of infrastructure, particularly the green land, can undoubtedly contribute to people’s well-being as well as environmental protection. For instance, the strong presence of parks is conducive to both people’s physical health and the preservation of nature.

To conclude, governments at all levels and departments concerned should make constant efforts to promote the maintenance and expansion of an existing infrastructure. Additionally, citizens are supposed to make the most of resources at hand to enhance their physical condition.
