It was about 15 miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon is not just big.

a TRY!
Last summer vacation, I went to the Great Wall. It was a sunny day. My mother and I took a bus and went there happily. But when we almost got there, it began to rain suddenly. We felt very sad.
As we went on our trip, it was raining harder and harder, we even wanted to give up. Just at this time, a long wall came into my eyes. What a huge wall it is! It’s more than 6 000 kilometres long.
It was difficult for us to travel in the rain. It was even more difficult to build such a wall in the ancient (古老的) days without any modern machines. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood (血肉) of millions of people.
Two months ago, I went to Sichuan and saw pandas. When we got there, a mother panda and a baby panda were playing in the snow.
Most pandas live in the deep forests of Sichuan Province in China. They have white fur (皮毛), though their shoulders, legs, ears and eyes are black. The mother panda is very heavy, it is about 1.5 metres tall and weighs about 100 kilograms. They have big, sharp teeth and live mainly on bamboo leaves.
Pandas also have hobbies, for example, climbing trees and sleeping. Sadly, there are not many pandas left in the world because some people keep cutting down trees, and bad hunters (猎人) are trying to kill them for money. The Chinese government (政府) is doing its best to protect pandas from being harmed (受害) or killed.

The main idea of each paragraph
I have been to many interests of places in China, but I will never forget my trip to the Great Wall. It is in Beijing, in the north of China. It is over 8,000 kilometers long and 10 meters wide in average. It is famous for its length.It was built many years ago,in Qin Dynasty. It must be very difficult for people to build it, so I was interested in climbing up it and I always wanted to visit it.
A trip to the Great Wall
In winter of 2008, I went there with my
students by train. We arrived there on a cold
winter morning,but we felt very excited to
climb up the Great Wall. When we climbed to
the top of the Great Wall we felt so tired but
happy.We saw the beautiful sights of Beijing and
took many photos at the top.
We were really proud of ourselves and the
Chinese.In my opinion, the Great Wall is the
greatest man-made wonder in the world.
I looked down to the Colorado River
about 2,000metres below me.
我俯视着距我两千多米之遥的科罗拉
多河。
Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon.
然后,我眺望峡谷的另一边。
Finally, I looked to my left and to my
right.......
最后,我向左右遥望......
在上面这三个句子中, look 和不同的介词/副词组成不同的词组,有着不同的意思。look down表示“向下看”; look across表示“向对面看”; look to one’s left 表示“向某人左侧看”。还有很多介词/副词可以和look这个动词组成词组, 如;
Look over there---there’s a rainbow!
看那边! 彩虹!
