The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it' s more than 6,000 kilometers long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.
The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.
The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the towers as a warning when the enemy came.
It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the
Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

Dear parents,
How time flies! I only have one year to study at this school. Next year I’ll be a high school student, so it’s very important for me to plan well this year. Now let me tell you what I want to do next.
First, I think I should be healthy enough. To do this, I will have good eating habits. I’ll eat more healthy food and less junk food. And I’ll do sports every day. As for my study, you shouldn’t be too worried about it. I will spend more time on it. But I need time to relax myself. I think I should be allowed to listen to music, because it’s helpful for me to relax. Also, I should be allowed to play basketball with my friends on weekends. You know, it’s good for my study. But I don’t think I should be all owed to play computer games. And I shouldn’t be allowed to go out or watch TV on school nights. They could let me concentrate less on my study.
I’m sure I can succeed next year. I won’t let you down.
Yours,
Mary。
