The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The 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 the third floor, it started to lean.

课堂活动
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.
1 Why is the Tower of Pisa strange
Because it leans to one side.
2 How many years did it take to build the tower
It took nearly 200 years to build the tower.
3 When did the tower start to lean
It started to lean in 1178, when the building got to the third floor.
4 What do you think will happen to the tower in the future Will it be safe
Hopefully it will be safe for at least the next 300 years.
