"Teacher Su, tell us about the vegetation here!" Qu Lihua's eyes were full of expectation.

Su Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "There are four first-class cities in Russia around Baikal, Angarsk, Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, and Chita, of which Irkutsk is the largest industrial city, transportation and commercial hub in Siberia. ”

"These cities, for the Chinese audience is really not very familiar, I suddenly found that we really don't know enough about the world, when we used to be students, in the classroom, just open the geography textbook to listen to the teacher's class, the teacher explained, we look at the map, the way of learning is relatively simple, it is better to feel it immersively, more intuitive, more experienced!"

"Yes, so I encourage everyone to have the opportunity or should go abroad to take a look, the world is so big, I want to go and see, isn't this sentence very popular in recent years?"
