Hi,my young friends!I am Beijing- Zhangjiakou Railway. Here I am writing to share my story with you.
I was born in 1909. I am 116 years old now. My 1 (build) was Zhan Tianyou,a brave and smart man.He believed China should build its own railway 2 other countries' help.So he built me, China's first self-built railway. At first,my trains used steam (蒸汽) . Their top speed was only 35 km/h. Then, the trains 3 (start)to use diesel(柴油).Later, there were even better trains that used electricity.It took 4 (simple) three hours to finish the trip.
In 2020, the new high-speed railway opened on December 30. I was so 5 (please).
People only needed to spend 47 minutes 6 (travel) from Beijing to Zhangjiakou. During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the two host 7 (city) for the event,welcomed lots of people from around the world.The railway played 8 important role.
Although I am too old 9 (keep) working these days, people will keep me as part of history. I am a little sad, 10 still proud of all the achievements that China has made in the past few years. Zhan Tianyou must be proud, too.
