Ⅲ. Reading comprehension.
The Great Wall of China is one of the wonders of the world. It was built over 2,000 years ago to protect against northern invaders. The wall stretches across mountains, dry lands, and green fields, reaching over 21,000 kilometres from one end to the other.
Making this huge wall took a lot of work. People used nearby things like rocks, dirt, and bricks. They had no machines, so they did everything with their hands. Many workers helped build the wall over the years, and some died while working because it was so hard. Some parts of the wall were built so well that they are still standing today.
Now, the Great Wall is China's most famous landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The most visited section is at Badaling, near Beijing, where the wall has been carefully restored. Visitors from around the world come to walk on the ancient stones and enjoy breathtaking views. On nice days, you can see the wall going over mountains far away, like a big stone snake. The Great Wall is more than just a wall. It represents Chinese civilisation's endurance and creativity. It tells us about China's past, battles, and how people lived. Every piece of the wall has old stories, making it not just a building, but a history book that still teaches us today.
