The Great Wall长城
There's a saying in China, “He who doesn't reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”
The Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders in the world. It has a
history of① over 2,000 years.
It winds its way from east to west, across deserts, over mountains, and through valleys till at last it reaches the sea.
Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch.
Over the centuries, the Great Wall has become a symbol of consolidation② and strength for the Chinese people. It symbolizes③ that great achievements can be made with a common will and combined efforts!
中国有句谚语:“不到长城非好汉。”
长城是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一。它有两千多年的历史。
它从东到西蜿蜒而行,跨过沙漠,越过高山,穿过山谷,最后到达大海。
