大家周一早上好，今天是四月六号! 我是Lewis，在扬州给大家晨读！
今天的中国文化特辑跟大家聊 长城
1. There’s a long stretching wall in China called The Great Wall ‘Changcheng’.
2. It follows the natural line of the mountain peaks, reaching breathtaking heights before plunging into the deepest ravines.
3. With the length of more than 5000 kilometers, Changcheng was built continuously over more than 2000 years by Chinese people.
4. Visitors stand speechless before this architectural masterpiece and wonder about its real military effectiveness.
5. The watchtowers would be lit up by torches if a watchman spotted an enemy invasion.
6. Messages could be passed to the military center from one watchtower to another.
7. Changcheng was expected to protect national peace.
8. Constructing Changcheng would guard our own territory and we won’t infringe on other people’s territory.
9. It is not only a brick wall but also one of the world’s greatest historical architectural works.
