Self-check & Reading

主编:黄冈中学英语集体备课组

Step 1 The introduction to the text

  Many people will miss their families when they are away from home for a long time, especially overseas people. In general, their ancestors didn’t live in the same place as they do. So it’s many overseas people’s dream to visit the ancestor’s homeland and experience their lives. The program named In Search of Roots has made many overseas Chinese achieve their dreams. Thanks to it, thousands of overseas Chinese students have returned to China to look for their families’ roots. In their ancestors’ villages they do the same daily activities as the native villagers. To experience village life is not only interesting but also useful.
