Unit 2 Travelling around the world

 

 

France is calling

 

       France is in Western Europe. It is a country with many beautiful places.

Paris is the capital of France. Here you will find many famous places of interest such as the Eiffel Tower. You can go to the Louvre Museum if you like art. The most famous street in Paris is the Champs-Elysees. This is the place to go if you want to visit some shops and department stores.

      France is very famous for its wine. There are many vineyards in the centre of France and farmers grow grapes to make excellent French wine.

     The south of France lies on the coast, and it is famous for its wonderful beaches. A French tower by the sea is the perfect place for a summer holiday, but if you prefer to visit France in winter, you can try skiing on the mountains in the French Alps.

    France has something for everyone, so why not visit France this year?

 

法国在召唤

        法国在西欧。它是一个拥有许多美丽地方的国家。

巴黎是法国的首都。在这你将找到许多著名的名胜古迹像埃菲尔铁塔。如果你喜欢艺术，你能去卢浮宫博物馆。在巴黎最著名的大街是香榭丽舍大街。如果你想去参观商店和百货商场的话，这就是可去的地方。

法国以它的果酒非常著名。在法国中心有许多葡萄园，农民种植葡 萄，为了制作好的法国果酒。

        法国南部位于海岸线上，它以它精彩的海滩著名。在海边的一个法国的塔是度暑假的完美的地方，但是如果你更喜欢在冬天参观法国的话，你可以试试在法国的阿尔卑斯山脉上滑雪。

法国有为每个人的东西，因此为什么不今年就参观法国呢？

The Leaning Tower of PisaThe Tower of Pisa is one of the most beautiful bell towers in Italy.It is not only beautiful, but also strange—it leans to one side.

Today it is known as “The Leaning Tower of Pisa”.

The building of the tower began in 1173.

It took nearly 200 years to complete.

In 1178, when the building got to third floor, it started to lean.

The builders tried to make the tower straight again when they built the upper floors, but failed.

Over the years, the tower has continued to lean further.

Experts have done a lot of studies and tried to “rescue” the tower.

In 1990, it was closed to the public for safety reasons.

After a lot of effort, it reopened in 2001. Hopefully it will be safe for at least the next 300 years.
