Nick: yes. Iwatched a lot of Shuke and Beita, a popular Chinese cartoon series back in theold days. Shuke is a pilot mouse, he has a small helicopter. Flying thehelicopter, he starts his adventures and rescues other animals from beingbullied. It is so cool. In this way being a pilots has rooted in my mind.
Claire: Aviationcan be really exciting. When I was little, I enjoyed just watching the planestaking off. I could sit there and keep watching for hours.
Nick: An Aviation mania spotted. Now with thedevelopment of aviation industry in China. . Our country attaches muchimportance to the cultivation of aviation talents. Children are exposed to moreknowledge and activities related to aviation.
Claire: Indeed.There are a huge load of resources that can be found on the internet. Studentsare led to visit aviation museums and experience flying.
