    Do you know the Chinese paper­cut (剪纸)? Many people are interested in it. Here I'm glad to tell you something about it.

    The Chinese paper­cut has a long history of around 2，000 years. You can see it in many places of China. Many people like it. People in the north of China are very good at making paper­cuts. They make them in different shapes, like birds, animals and flowers.

    Chinese paper­cuts are very beautiful. People usually put them on doors and windows when they celebrate festivals like the Spring Festival (春节). More and more young people like making paper­cuts now. They hope they can do better than their parents or grandparents.

    Wang Meimei is a girl from Shanghai, China. Today is July 1st. She is chatting (聊天) with her new friends on QQ at home.

    Tom wants to visit the Great Wall next year, but he doesn't know when to visit it. So he asks his Chinese friend about it by e­mail. Some days later, he gets an e­mail：

    The best time in a day

    Many people visit the Great Wall every day. The busy time of visiting the Great Wall is from 10：00 a. m. to 3：00 p. m. There are too many people there during (在……期间) that time. So you can go there early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

    The best months in a year

    Usually, the travel season (旅游季) is from May to October in Beijing. Of these months, May and October are the best months to visit the Great Wall. The weather is always sunny and warm in the two months.

    It's December. It is snowy and the weather is really cold in the north of China. You can see many children playing with snow. Some of them are making snowmen. Some are skating on the river. It's so cold that the water in the river freezes (冻结). It's a white world. How beautiful!

    But in Australia, the weather is hot now. Many people go swimming in the sea. They are having a good time. Jim and his friends are playing soccer near the sea. They want to swim after playing soccer.

    Why can they swim in December? It is winter, isn't it? Yes, it is in China. But it isn't in Australia. That's because China and Australia have different seasons in a year.
