The ancient city is in Pingyao county, Shanxi Province. The city wall was first built during the Zhou Dynasty. Since 1997, it has been listed as a World Heritage Site. Now Pingyao city is the only one in China completely protected as it was hundreds of years ago.
The perimeter (周长) of this square city is 6.4 km long and the city wall is the earliest and largest city wall in China. It is 12m high with width of 5m. The wall was built with earth and covered with bricks. Outside the city wall there is a river, 4m wide and 4m deep.
There are several gates of the city, two each on the east and west and one each on the south and north side. All the gates have two doors each. This has given the city the name “Turtle City” with the two gates on the south and north standing for the head and tail of the turtle and four gates on the east and west as the four legs. The doors on the south and north stand opposite each other, like the head of the turtle extending out and two wells just beyond southern gate are like a turtle's two eyes.
Located on the trade route between Beijing and Xi'an, Pingyao developed into a merchant center where the local people set up the nation's earliest banks. These banks were the first in China to use checks. Several old courtyards have been turned into museums, most of which are homes and offices of Pingyao's old banks.

参考范文：
As middle school students, we all have taken many examinations and experienced failure as well as success. Different students have different attitudes towards failure in the exams.
Some of us become low in spirits in the face of failure. Worse still, some students are so disappointed that they don't want to make further efforts in their studies. As a result, their studies go from bad to worse as time goes on.
Fortunately, some students take quite positive attitudes towards their setbacks. They spare no effort in analyzing the cause of their failure and at the same time encourage themselves to become more confident so that they won't repeat their mistakes in their later examinations.
As far as I am concerned, I believe that failure is the mother of success. So long as we can find out the cause of our failure and improve our ways of learning, we can surely make great progress and turn our dream into reality.
