New China received a great gift on September 29,2011－the successful launch(发射)of Tiangong-I．Scientists sent the country’s first space lab module(太空实验舱)from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu into space at 9：16 pm on Thursday．
The Tiangong-I is a new spacecraft made by China．It’s bigger and heavier than Shenzhou spaceships, about 8 tons．It is 10.4 meters tall, as high as a 3-story building．
The Tiangong-I spacecraft will stay 350km above the Earth for two years．It will join with three spaceships, Shenzhou VIII, Shenzhou IX and Shenzhou X．The Shenzhou VIII spaceship, also unmanned, was launched in early November．Scientists will launch Shenzhou IX and Shenzhou X in 2012．Astronauts will enter Tiangong-I after successsfully joining their ships with the module．The Shenzhou X will be China’s 6th manned spacecraft．It may carry the first woman astronaut into space．
The launch of the Shenzhou spaceships and the Tiangong-I are all in preparation for building China’s space station．The space lab and future space station are for experiments that can’t be done on Earth．The main purpose of China’s manned space station is to peacefully explore space, and through it, serve man,” One of the scientists said．

How do I like to travel?
Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city．You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late．You can’t open the window．You can’t choose the food．Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city．
I like traveling by train．I think trains are safe．Railway stations are usually in cities．When you are late for a train you can catch another one．You can walk around in the train and open the windows．You can see many interesting things on your way．I know it takes a little more time．
