The big number

1.4 million people needed to move from the three dams in China for about two to four years. The dam near Chongqing is the the world's largest hydropower which cost US$25 billion(s$37 billion). Its construction flooded 116 towers and 100s of cultural sites.


The words I learned from this article:

(1) Candidates - Someone trying to get a job. Eg. Dr Muszaphar beat 11,274 other candidates.

(2) Feat - Something that someone does that shows a lot of strength.
