我的梦想
每个人都有梦想，我也有。一年级的时候，我的梦想是和我的好朋友一起吃苹果、一起看电影。 五年级的时候，我的梦想是和爸爸妈妈一起坐飞机去北京。九年级的时候，我的梦想是当医生。大学的时候，我想当一个汉语老师。在大学，我看了很多书，学了很多东西。

My dream

Chinese story
《同学的爱》  The Classmates’ love

在重庆市的一家医院里，有一位女孩儿躺在病床上。她叫小菲，今年十七岁。
There was a little girl lying in bed in a hospital in Chongqing City. She was called Xiao-Fei, aged 17.
二零一二年夏天她还可以在外面跟朋友、同学一起玩儿，但是她现在只能躺在床上，因为二零一二年八月，她发现自己生病了，而且是白血病。
She could still play with friends and classmates outside in the summer of 2012. Now she could only lie in bed, as she found herself sick in August, 2012 and was diagnosed with leukemia.

小菲的高中同学都很难过。为了鼓励她，小菲的高中同学也和她一起做出改变，这让她觉得很多人都在支持她。
Xiao-Fei’s high school classmates all grieved for her. To encourage her, her high school friends also made changes with her to make her feel that many were supporting her.

小菲生病以后，每天都必须早睡早起，锻炼身体。小菲的同学也开始每天早睡早起，锻炼身体。他们让小菲知道，他们正在和她做一样的事。小菲只能喝开水，不能再喝可乐了。小菲的同学也和她一样不再喝可乐。
After getting sick, Xiao-Fei needed to go to bed and get up early to exercise. Her classmates also started to go to bed and get up early. They let Xiao-Fei know that they were doing the same thing. Xiao-Fei could only drink water, but not coke anymore, and her classmates followed suit.

小菲的同学对小菲说：“你不放弃，我们也不会放弃！”
“If you don’t give up, we won’t either,” Xiao-Fei’s classmates told her.

同学们知道小菲需要很多钱治疗，所以大家拿着箱子向路人募捐，最后募到了兩万多元。
Her classmates knew that Xiao-Fei needed lots of money for treatment, so all of them carried boxes to raise money from pedestrians. Eventually, they gathered a total of 20,000.

小菲看到大家这么支持她，她说：“大家这么关心我，我一定会更努力让自己好起来。”
Knowing that all of them were supporting her, Xiao-Fei said: “All of you cared about me so much; I will certainly try my best to get well.”

同学的爱  The Classmates’ love

CUEMANCO.

CUEMANCO, EL MERCADO DE PLANTAS MÁS HERMOSO Y GRANDE DE LATINOAMÉRICA

Cuemanco es el mercado de flores más grande de toda América Latina, pero a finales del siglo XX fue una zona lacustre. En 1991 el gobierno MEXICANO decidió imponer el proyecto del rescate ecológico de Xochimilco, con el cual se construyó el parque ecológico, el deportivo ecológico y el mercado de plantas y flores de Cuemanco.

Visitar el mercado de Cuemanco significa hacer un recorrido lleno de colores y olores que dejan extasiados a los paseantes en el mercado de flores y plantas de Cuemanco. Uno de los grandes atractivos de Xochimilco es que los chinamperos cosechan flores y plantas de ornato para interiores y exteriores. A precios muy económicos se pueden comprar bromelias, violetas, patas de elefante, pinos y más bellezas.

el Mercado de flores y plantas DE Cuemanco  recibe a más de 2 millones de visitantes al año. Con ello se logró incrementar la afluencia de turistas a este sitio considerado el más grande en Latinoamérica y el tercero a nivel mundial en su tipo, pues aquí se comercializan más de 15 mil especies, tanto endémicas como provenientes de otros estados.

Cuando es primavera el olor a las flores está por todas partes. En verano se siente la frescura de las flores e incluso en invierno el olor de las nochebuenas y de los árboles de navidad invade el entorno.  Los colores, se mezcla junto con más de mil especies de plantas y quinientas cactáceas que invaden el mercado de plantas y flores de Cuemanco, en la alcaldía Xochimilco.
