Come to Dalian

In one of my higher level children's classes, I asked them to write an advertisement for Dalian. This is what they produced: (Keep in mind that they are about 11 or 12 years old.)

1. holiday party
2. improve the environment
3. the history is long
4. eat seafood
5. the people are friendly
6. Once upon a time, there was a old man and a old woman. They were poor, a person gave them a piece of corn flour. The corn flour wouldn't be used up. The bag was called da'lian. Many many years later, the people who lives there called it Dalian.
7. history prison, it was old. Russian and Japanese Museum
8. Snake Island
9. Many tall buildings. Wide roads. Chinese goods were sent to the rest of the world. You can buy anything you want.
10. Ships are big, the transport are good.

This is word for word what they wrote, grammar and bulleted points and spelling and all... I'm just glad they speak better than they write.

If that advertisement doesn't make you want to come to Dalian, I don't know what will.
