Chinese in Current Affairs --0021( Sentence:156--158): How to Say "China: The World's Largest Shoe Producer"

 

LISTEN TO THE TEXT

On Friday night, when I was reading some news online, an article about China's shoe manufacture and export caught my eyes. I thought that maybe it would be a good topic for us to talk about in light of what we discussed concerning China's mobile phone output last weekend. :-)

I do hope that what I have done for you will be a little help towards your Chinese language learning... :-)
