Let's write
Last September, I went to the Great Wall with my classmates. We started at 7:00am. After two hours, my legs were so tired that I wanted to stop. My friend told me, “He who doesn’t reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” So I went on. Finally, I got to the top! I felt very excited.
The Great Wall is one of the biggest man-made wonders. It’s in North China. It was built over 2000 years ago. It is about 21,200 kilometres long, 6-7 metres high and 4-5 metres wide. I really like it and I’m sure I’ll visit it again.
