    On May Day holiday of this year, my parents and I went to the Great Wall. On the way I felt 1, because this was my first visit. I had dreamed 2 this trip many times. We took a train first, and then we took a bus to 3 there. When it appeared in front of me, I couldn't help 4. I said, "What a wonderful 5 it is!"

    When I walked on the Great Wall, I felt very proud because it is 6wall in the world. At the same time, I couldn't believe my eyes. I wondered how the ancient people built it by 7. I wondered how many people took part in building it. It was a mystery to me.

    I almost lost 8 in the beautiful scenery around it. "He 9 doesn't reach the Great Wall is not a 10 man. Now I'm on the top! I'm a true man," I said loudly.

    But, 11 there are many visitors every day, there are many problems for the Great Wall. For example, many visitors throw 12 about or spit on the Great Wall and some visitors 13 carved their names on it.

    As visitors, I think we 14 try our best to protect the Great Wall, not to destroy it. It's our duty. The past is not only for us to enjoy 15 for the people in the future.

Jennya postcardher friend yesterday.

    Lao She finished writing Teahouse in 1957. The play shows the lives of common people in China between 1898 and 1945. It takes place in a teahouse in old Beijing and it tells us the story of Wang Lifa and his customers. It asks us to see the teahouse as the centre of the neighbourhood. Finally, it says goodbye to old Beijing and its people.

    The story starts in 1898 during the Qing dynasty. It continues in 1916, and finally, it brings the audience to the end of the Anti-Japanese War, in 1945. After the war, Wang loses the teahouse and dies.

    Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher's school in Beijing and he learned to teach. From 1924 to 1929 he taught Chinese to the English in London. He wrote many plays, novels and short stories. He was named "the People's Artist" and "the Great Master of Language". He was one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century.

    In Lao She Teahouse today, waiters bring tea to the customers and sell them delicious Chinese food. If you like the Beijing Opera, folk(民间的) music, acrobatics(杂技) or magic shows, you can enjoy them in the teahouse. Lao She Teahouse gives a warm welcome to everyone from all over the world.
