pride英语作文

China's pride (中国的骄傲)We will never forget the day when China launched its first manned spacecraft into orbit on October 15, 2003 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Northwest China's Gansu Province. Spraying a mass of orange flames, the large, white Long March II-F rocket carrying the Shenzhou-V spacecraft and China's first astronaut Yang Liwei soared spectacularly skyward, gradually becoming a bright ball before vanishing into deep space. Our dream becomes reality. Though the Shenzhou-V circled the Earth 14 times within 22 hours and 18 minutes, it has clearly displayed China's spirts of devotion, co-operation and pursuit of the unknown. Meantime, it will turn out to be an important driving force for the country's economic and social development. The successful launch of Shenzhou-V ushered in a new chapter in space history.
