Be prepared to read aloud the following short speech. You should read it as if you are giving a real-life prepared speech.

Dear Friends,

There’s a Chinese saying going like this: “Just as there is a paradise in heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth.”

This saying is no exaggeration about the scenic beauty of the two historic cities near Shanghai which attract millions of tourists from both home and abroad every year.

For example, the charming landscaped gardens of Suzhou, typical of China’s

southern garden architecture, contain numerous created landscape scenes within a limited space.

The ponds, stones, flowers and trees in these gardens create a poetic mood for tourists and therefore, a visit to these gardens is a must for every tourist visiting Suzhou.
