rest tonight. As you know, it is not easy for us to climb the Great Wall.

2.Ok. The construction of the Great Wall lasted from Zhou dynasty in 7 century BC to Ming

dynasty in15 century AD. It is about 2000 years. The wall nowadays is all built in Ming.

3.The Great Wall is built to ward off invaders from northern nomadic people. When the

invaders approached, the soldier on beacon tower will send the smoke signal as warning.

4.The beacon tower on the Great Wall is equally distributed. When the soldier saw the signal

near his beacon tower, he will then send his signal immediately. In this way, the signal passed one by one to the capital.

5.Yes, exactly. The Great Wall runs the distance about 6000 kilometers and across the eastern

part of China.

6.It is said that the Great Wall is the only structure which can be seen from outer space.

7.Oh. It seems that you know a lot about the Great Wall.

8.Really? It is a sad story. It took place in the reign of Emperor Qinshihuang, the first emperor

of Qin dynasty.

9.Exactly right. When Mengjiangnv saw her husband’s corpse under the wall, she suicide by

jumping into the ocean with great sorrow. What a faithful wife.

10.Oh, yes. One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero. See you tomorrow.
