Nowadays, a lot of recreational activities are available for people to release their stress of work or study. Recreational activities have aroused a hot debate in society. When it comes to recreational activities, people’s ideas are not cut from the same cloth.

Abundant recreational activities make people’s life more colorful and people can release their stress with amusement. Also, participating in recreational activities helps promote our competence. However, too much recreational activities will bring problems. For instance, many young students are addicted to online games, which will generate bad effects on their studies and might lead bad consequences.

In my opinion, we should keep a balance between amusement and study or work. Of course, we should join some recreational activities after study, but we need arrange our time properly. Only in this way can recreational activities provide more benefits for us.

大家好,我是你们的导游刘欣玥,欢迎来长城游玩。接下来我将带着你们一起去浏览壮丽雄伟的万里长城。万里长城是我国重点文物保护单位,于1987年12月被列入世界遗产名录。

大家看,我们的左边就是长城了。长城全长一万三千多里,有人走完全程竟花了五百多天!从春秋战国时期的一段长城,到秦朝被连接起来,又经过三千多年的风雨,修筑,让我们看到了现在的明朝长城。

我们现在来到的就是长城中最著名的一段――八达岭长城。我们脚踩着的城墙顶有十米宽,全都是用条石和城砖筑成的。这些条石、城砖,一块就有两三千斤重。那时没有起重机、火车和汽车,就靠着劳动人民的手和脚,一步一步地扛上这崇山峻岭。城墙外沿有两米多高的垛子,垛子上有些方形的洞口是射箭口,边上的凹口是瞭望口,供射击和瞭望使用。古代人民的聪慧让人赞叹。千年以前的这里,战士们严阵以待,站在长城上。这时,远方烟尘四起,敌人趁着天刚蒙蒙亮,向这这冲来。战士们先在瞭望口瞭望,知道敌军的位置,再把箭搭到射口,向敌人发起猛烈的射击。如果抵挡不住,还会在峰火台上放狼烟,每隔三百多米就有一个,这样,使在千里之外的京城也能很快知道消息,搬来救兵。现在长城已经是中华民族的象征了!

现在,大家可以自己去玩了。但是要注意不要在长城上涂画,不要乱扔东西,注意安全,管好自己的小孩和贵重物品,两个小时后在这里集合。谢谢!

长城是我国古代规模最大的防御性军事工程。长城东起山海关,穿过高山,越过深谷,伸蜒于沙漠和草原,一直到达终点嘉峪关。全长1.2万余华里,故称万里长城。

在公元前五至七世纪的春秋战国时期,中原大地诸侯争霸,战争频繁。为了防御北方草原强悍的游牧部落袭扰中原,位于北部的燕、赵、秦等国于要冲之地高筑城墙。秦始皇统一中国,将列国长城连成一线,创造了举世闻名的古代工程奇迹。朝廷采取高筑墙方针,对长城进行了18次大规模修筑,延续时间长达200余年,将历代土石城墙都改为砖砌。

长城不是一道弧立的城墙,而是由敌楼、烟墩组成的完整的军事防御体系。到了明代,城墙防御体系极其严密,城墙以砖砌成,高10米,宽5米,墙上每隔30米建有敌楼,敌楼有实心和空心两种,平面圆型。实心敌台只能射击,而空心敌楼下层住人还有粮草。在城墙上还垒砌有烟墩,一旦战争爆发,位于前线的烟墩点烟,士兵就出动了,士兵从垛口进行射击,城墙设置射孔等防御工事。

作为中华民族象征也征服了世界。1987年12月被联合国教科文组织遗产委员会列世界遗产名录。长城,是中国的一条龙,是见证中国发展的有效见证,这也验证了不到长城非好汉的含义。

Roman Colosseum 意大利罗马大斗兽场

The Colosseum or Flavian Amphitheater was begun by Vespasian, inaugurated by Titus in 80 A.D. and completed by Domitian. Located on marshy land between the Esquiline and Caelian Hills, it was the first permanent amphitheater to be built in Rome. Its monumental size and grandeur as well as its practical and efficient organization for producing spectacles and controlling the large crowds make it one of the great architectural monuments achieved by the ancient Romans.

The amphitheater is a vast ellipse with tiers of seating for 50,000 spectators around a central elliptical arena. Below the wooden arena floor, there was a complex set of rooms and passageways for wild beasts and other provisions for staging the spectacles. Eighty walls radiate from the arena and support vaults for passageways, stairways and the tiers of seats. At the outer edge circumferential arcades link each level and the stairways between levels.

The three tiers of arcades are faced by three-quarter columns and entablatures, Doric in the first story, Ionic in the second, and Corinthian in the third. Above them is an attic story with Corinthian pilasters and small square window openings in alternate bays. At the top brackets and sockets carry the masts from which the velarium, a canopy for shade, was suspended.

The construction utilized a careful combination of types: concrete for the foundations, travertine for the piers and arcades, tufa infill between piers for the walls of the lower two levels, and brick-faced concrete used for the upper levels and for most of the vaults.

Details

The Colosseum was designed to hold 50,000 spectators, and it had approximately eighty entrances so crowds could arrive and leave easily and quickly.

The plan is a vast ellipse, measuring externally 188 m x 156 m (615 ft x 510 ft), with the base of the building covering about 6 acres. Vaults span between eighty radial walls to support tiers of seating and for passageways and stairs.

The facade of three tiers of arches and an attic story is about 48.5 m (158 ft) tall — roughly equivalent to a 12-15 story building.
