Task One:
The Speech by a World Bank Group Official at the 2002 Wester China International Economy and Trade Fair Governor Zhang, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am delighted to be here this morning to open the Western China International Economy and Trade Fair. Iwould like to thank the People’s Government of Sichuan for inviting us to attend this important event where government leaders from Beijing and twelve other provinces meet to discuss strategies for developing China’s Western Region.
This event reflects the strong commitment of the Government and the people of China to develop the Western Region. I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and determination demonstrated not only by the public sectors, but also by the private sectors in supporting the Western development goals set forth by the Government.
The purpose of my current visit to China is to evaluate recent economic developments in China, and discuss with Chinese leader the World Bank Group’s assistance strategy for China after its entry into the WTO. Istarted my visit two days ago in the western province of Yunnan and have now come to Sichuan. I have seen good examples of how the World Bank Group can offer assistance to the Government and the private sectors to develop China’s West. There are 11 provinces, autonomous regions and one municipality in west China, with a total area of about 6.8 million square kilometers and a population of 364 million. The Government’s desire to accelerate the development of the western provinces is vital to the success of achieving a sustained growth for China in the long run. There are also challenges, however, that should not be overlooked. These include continued efforts to create and improve the business environment. But I am confident that these challenges will be met.
In closing, I would like to thank the Government of Sichuan for its support to World Bank and IFC operations in Sichuan. We look forward to working with all of you to contribute to the development of China’s West and to improve people’s lives in this important part of the country. Thank you!

Task Three:
Spaceship Columbia: A Final Journey
On February 1, 2003, the spaceship Columbia was returning from space. The crew of seven never made it back to Earth. Upon reentry to the Earth’s atmosphere, the shuttle was torn apart. The seven crew members did not die in vain; they died exploring the heavens, not for personal benefit, but to benefit mankind. Because of them, we are one step closer to discovering the mysteries of our Universe.
