Jessica: Hello, everyone. Please welcome William Davis. He's a travel blogger, and today
he's going to tell us about his trip to China.
William: Thanks, Jessica. Hello, everyone. I'm William. Today I want to talk to you guys
about something that's very unique: the "ghost cities" of China. During my trip, I visited seven of these cities.
Jessica: Do you mean cities that were once busy but are now empty?
William: No, they're new cities, often on the outskirts of bigger cities. They have
everything: the infrastructure, apartments, skyscrapers, stores, highways to and from
them. The only thing they don't have is people.
Jessica: Interesting. Can you tell me more about why they were built?
William: They're part of a city's development plan. The government builds a new city
where they want people to move.
Jessica: Really? Could you give me an example?
William: Yes. Dantu. It was built in 2005 and for eight years, it was mostly empty.
Jessica: Did people actually move there?
William: Yes. Around 2013, people started to move there. Shops were opened and offices
filled with people. The population has grown slowly and it's now very busy! Jessica: That's fascinating.

e. In pairs: What do you think of ghost cities? Are they a good way to develop an area? Why (not)?
(Theo cặp: Bạn nghĩ gì về thành phố ma? Chúng có phải là một cách tốt để phát triển một
khu vực? Tại sao không)?) Gợi ý đáp án
In my opinion, the ghost city is a pretty cool building idea. In the future, when the
country's population is increasing, the city will be a good idea to solve the housing
problem for everyone. However, in the long run, they are not a good way to develop the
area because a project if not put into use and left empty for too long will cause a large
construction debt, and at the same time affect the economy of that region.

healthy environment towards a green town.
