Part I

Short Speech

（2 minutes）

Ladies and Gentlemen, Our conference has lasted three days. It has achieved tremendous success. Eighteen scientists and scholars spoke at the conference. Many more aired their views freely at group discussions, which proceeded in a friendly and lively manner. I benefited greatly by attending this conference and hope you did too. Science and technology are a kind of wealth created in common by all mankind. They must, in turn, serve the needs of all people and serve the interest of world peace. All nations must learn from one another. Science involves effort and toil. At the same time, it calls for creativeness, imagination and cooperation.

Ladies and gentlemen, you have my best wishes for even greater achievements in your career of science. Now, I declare the conference closed. Thank you.

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.
