长城，这一古老的建筑，传播着中国千百年来的精神财富——文化。它仿佛是一个时间的见证者：见证过唐代的繁荣昌盛，见证过元朝的宽广疆域，见证过清朝的****凄惨……

上午时分，我和家人踏上长城，站在长城上，我的思绪飞向了古秦:我看到了蒙恬将军带领着百姓用手将砖块垒在城墙上；我听到了孟姜女哭长城时的极其悲哀与无助；我感受到了古代人民的不幸与智慧。建筑气势巍峨，人民伟大惨烈。

我深吸一口气，感受着长城古老的气息。它的脉搏，它的心脏，它一切的一切，显得那么神秘。它身上究竟发生了多少故事，很难有人彻底弄清。它就是一个载体，承载了很多伟人渴望复国的愿望。

我走进一座烽火台，仔细观察着这一古代打仗时必用的法宝。我不禁遐想：一火点燃，传递着军情，传递着希望。如果没有这个烽火台，整个建筑都是空洞的，因为它毫无生机，毫无希望。

慢慢地，我来到了好汉碑。当年，毛主席豪情万丈，挥笔写下“不到长城非好汉”七个大字。后人立此字碑，勉励游人。我凝视着字碑，仿佛看到了毛主席率领着红军二万五千里长征时的情景：他英姿飒爽，豪气冲天。这七个大字也引得无数英雄竞折腰。它对长城，起到了画龙点睛的作用。

到了中午，本应酷暑难耐，但长城却似乎受到了上天的庇护，丝毫感受不到一点炎热。我望着长城外的大片草原草原仿佛也点缀着长城，使长城变得不仅仅是刚烈，而是刚中带柔……

走进长城，如同走进了历史，走进了画卷，走进了人生……

This is a dream blooming age, everyone is a dreamer. The Chinese dream start from my dream.

This story again let me understand what is the power of a dream:

From small Yang Mengheng lost both arms, with his strong will to participate in the paralympic games, said let his spare more rich. Although he didnt finish his wish, he made excellent achievements in study. In this case I know such a truth: the light is not enough to have a dream, also learn to brave dedication to pursue.

回想起，李连杰叔叔的梦想：就是以一颗感恩的心来回馈这个社会，把具有东方特色的运动—太极，推向世界。

这是一个绽放梦想的时代，每个人都是梦想家。中国梦从我的梦开始。

下面这个故事又一次让我理解了什麽是梦想的力量：

从小失去双臂的杨孟衡，凭着自己坚强的意志参加了残奥会，让自己的课余说更加丰富。尽管他没有完成自己的愿望，但他在学习上作出了优异的成绩。从这个事例中我懂得了这样一个道理：光有梦想是不够的，还学要勇敢执着地去追求。坚持梦想的过程，是一个不断超越自我的过程。抬头看着你的梦想，脚踏实地努力每一天都离梦想更进一步。

“少年智则国智，少年强则国强!”我们承载者祖国的未来，所以从现在开始，我们必须有一个梦，并且为实现梦想努力奋斗!

同学们，正是因为我们每个人心中都有梦想，所以每一个小小的梦想加在一起，就构成了国家的梦想，这就是中国梦!

其实最值得我们深思的是，修建长城是在秦朝时期。当时的科技是如此落后，那时没有飞机、没有轮船、没有起重机……

In fact, the most worthy of our thinking is that the Great Wall was built in the Qin dynasty. The technology is so backward, then no plane, no boats, no crane......

有的只是劳动人民的双手和双肩。 他们就是这样一步一步地，把一块块几千斤重的石条抬在山上，再用双手一块一块地建成了这样前不见头，后不见尾的万里长城。

Only working peoples hands and shoulders. They are one step at a time, to a thousand pound stone lift on the mountain, and then hands a piece of land and built a does not see the head, not the tail after the great wall.

每当上课的钟声响起，我都期待着这堂课的来临，当手持卷书的老师走了进来，我便笑颜逐开。抱着最欢喜的心情，认真的投入最深远的文字境界，这就是令我最喜爱的—语文课。

钟声缓缓响起，校园里萦绕着肃静的气息。语文老师抱着书册走进了班级，她把书香带进了死寂的教室，令我干涸的心灵，得到一丝文学的细雨。细细咀嚼文字的博大精深，徜徉在无垠无尽的学识之海上，思想是风、知识是帆，带着我在语文的海洋上追波逐涛、乘风破浪。遥想至圣先师“己所不欲，勿施于人”的仁德;细 思五柳先生“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山。”的恬静。走入余光中的诗集，我看见那与时间抗衡的豪气;潜入徐志摩的散文里，我游历了康桥的美景。古今中外的文学，都潜藏在文字的天地里。

Going to high school is my first time to leave home. I have to live in

school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time,

because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I

like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is

the short travel that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also

learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see

from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals

have different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I have my

own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to

grow up.

The Great Wall is not only the pride of our Chinese people, and which also contains the we pay of ancient peoples wisdom and hard work. When we are standing on the Great Wall of blue bricks or in the United States enjoy the Great Wall, we will have a sense of pride. Again, this a fantastic piece of architecture to our future generations.

To build this a fantastic piece of architecture, neither mechanical without transport. This is completely done with human. No matter cold summer, people still kept on working. Even if a storm or high winds up, he also in hard work. It has experienced many ups and downs of the day and night, the Great Wall here, showing how magnificent the verve of the Peoples Republic, great. These ancient people, why not have a strong willpower and perseverance, the spirit of dont be frightened by difficulties? And I compared with them, it is different. See, I feel I am ashamed.

For example that a test, I always feel oneself "unrivaled", "down". Can destroy all difficulties easily. The results do one problem, a mystery. Not eventually be I strike down, the result that a test only got 90 points. Now when I think of this one thing, feel oneself is a disgrace and shame, when Chinese people too, since when the Chinese people, and more dont compared with true clear conscience of the people.

So, from now on, I also want to take root in my heart, "the Great Wall" and "rise", set up a firm belief, make the motherland prosperous, for the next generation again due to our contribution.

万里长城不仅仅是我们中华人民的骄傲，而且其中还蕴含着我们古代人民的劳动智慧和辛勤的付出。当我们站在万里长城的青砖上或在欣赏长城的美时，我们就会有一种自豪感。同样，这一项宏伟的建筑令我们后人赞叹不已。

建造这一项宏伟的建筑时，既没有机械，又没有运输工具。这完全是用人力完成的。不管严寒酷暑，人们还是坚持工作。即使下着暴雨或刮起大风，他么也在辛勤的工作。就这样经历了多少日夜的风风雨雨，万里长城在这儿拔地而起，显示出中华人民的气魄是多么的宏伟，伟大。这些古人何不具有一种顽强的毅力和不屈不挠，不被困难吓倒的精神呢?而我与他们相比，简直是天壤之别。我感觉自己是中看不中用，惭愧不已。

比如说那一次考试，我总觉得自己“天下无敌”，可以“居高临下”。可以易如反掌地消灭一切困难。结果做到一题难题，百思不得其解。最终还是没有被我攻下来，结果那一次考试只考了90分。现在当我想起这一件事时，觉得自己很可耻和惭愧，愧当炎黄子孙，愧当中国人，也更别与问天无愧的人相比较了。

所以，从现在开始，我也要让“万里长城”在我心中扎根，然后“拔地而起”，树立一种坚定的信念，让祖国繁荣昌盛，让下一代因我们的贡献而再一次赞叹不已。

What impresses me most in Beijing is the Great Wall which is one of the

greatest projects in the world.

Its not only the cultural heritage, but also a symbol of China. "Its

glorious." I think. It looks like a big dragon running across the mountainous

area. It starts Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.Its so long that nobody can walk from the beginning to the end.It was firstly built in Qin Dynasty and prolonged in Ming and Qing

dynasties.It was used to protect the enemies from invading in the past, but now it

has become the place of interest which attracts so many tourists both at home

and abroad.

When I was standing on the top of the Great Wall, I felt as if I were in

ancient days.

I could see many laborers working very hard. How could they finish this

extremely difficult task by hand?

The great wall was renovated from time to time after the qin dynasty. a major renovation started with the founding of the ming dynasty in 1368, and took 200 years to complete. the wall we see today is almost exactly the result of this effort. with a total length of over 6,000 kilometers, it extends to the jiayu pass in gansu province in the west and to the mouth of the yalu river in liaoning province in the east.

What lies north of beijing is but a small section of it.a map of the great wallthe map shows the wall azuoweng from jiayu pass of gansu province to shanhai pass of hebei province. representative sections of the great wall built in ming times are situated near shanhai pass, gubeikou and juyong pass.badaling sectionthe badaling section of the great wall snaking along the mountains northwest of beijing was built at the beginning of the ming dynasty in the 14th century.

Being 7.8 metres high and 5.8 metres wide at the top on the average, it has battle forts at important points, including the corners.located 10 kilometers south of the badaling section of the great wall and built in an 18.5-kilometre-long valley, the pass has always been an important gateway northwest of beijing. the name is believed to have its origin in the workers and slaves conscripted to build the great wall in ancient times. cloud terrace, built in 1345, was originally the base of a pagoda over looking the main road of the town of the pass.

The arched gate of the terrace and the walls inside the arch are decorated with carvings. of elephants, lions, birds, flowers and heavenly kings as well as charms in six languages-sanskrit, tibe tan, phats pa (mongolian), uygur, west xia and han.mutianyu sectionthe mutianyu section of the great wall, 70 kilometers northeast of beijing, is linked to the gubeikou section on the east and the badaling section on the west. it is one of the best sections of the great wall.the mutianyu section of the great wall is crenelatted for watching and shooting at the invading enemy. some of the battle forts on the wall are as close as 50 metres apart.jinshanling sectionlocated in miyun county northeast of beijing, the jinshanling division of the great wall, like the simatai division, belongs to the gubeikou section of the colossal defence barrier.

The battlements in the jinshanling division of the great wall are built along the ridge of a mountain, where the soldiers can resist the invading enemy by taking advantage of the high terrain.a decrepit battle fort at dusk often reminds one of the battles in ancient times.

My hometown is in meishan village, old say MeiZai pit. Most of the villagers is given priority to with agriculture, agricultural products of the best known are: high mountain, wax apple, citrus, sweet, and so on.

The Great Wall is famous all over the world, it is one of the most

remarkable symbols of China, it has long history. But as there are more and more

people to visit the famous building, it has been damaged to some degree. In

order to protect the great building, we should not throw away the rubbish and do

not make some marks, so that we can enjoy the great building.

Far see the Great Wall, want to a long, winding between mountains. From shanhaiguan east to west of jiayuguan, has more than thirteen thousand.

Starting from Beijing, but it came to the Great Wall at the foot of a few tens of kilometers. This section of the Great Wall built in badaling, tall, strong, is built against the huge stone and ChengZhuan. With square brick on the top of the wall, very smooth, like a wide road, WuLiuPi mark in parallel. Outside walls along the rows of buttress has two meters high, there are square on buttress scanned and shot mouth, mouth for scanned and shooting. The wall on the top of every three hundred meters there is a square ChengTai, is the bulwark of station troops. Battle, echo each other between into Taiwan.

Standing on the Great Wall, step on the foot square brick, holding the stone on the wall, naturally think of the ancient working people to build the Great Wall. Look at the countless stone, there have a two or three one thousand catties. Then there is no train, automobile, crane, rely on countless countless hands, shoulders, step by step to carry on the steep mountains. How many working people sweat and wisdom, to condense into the former see head, after the end of the Great Wall.

Verve as grand project, is a great miracle in the history of the world.

远看长城，想一条长龙，在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关，有一万三千多里。

从北京出发，不过几十公里就来到长城脚下。这一段长城修筑在八达岭上，高大坚固，是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖，十分平整，像很宽的马路，五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子，垛子上有方形的嘹望口和射击口，供嘹望和射击用。城墙顶上每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台，是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候，成台之间可以互相呼应。

站在长城上，踏着脚上的方砖，扶着墙上的条石，很自然地想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民来。单看这数不清的条石，一块有两三千斤重。那时候没有火车、汽车，没有起重机，就靠着无数的肩膀无数的手，一步一步地抬上这陡峭的山岭。多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧，才凝结成这前不见头、后不见尾的万里长城。

这样气魄雄伟的工程，在世界历史上是一个伟大的奇迹。
