The Great Wall was about seven meters high.In many places it was wide enough for ten men to walk side by side along the top.Horses could run along the top，too.Along the Great Wall there are tall and strong watch towers （烽火台）.The Great Wall was made of stones and bricks.There were big stones on both sides and on the top.

　　To build such a great wall over the mountain and down the valleys was not at all easy.When you look at the Great Wall，you can’t help wondering how the Chinese working people were able to build it without any modern machines.They did all the work with hands.They lifted the earth in baskets and pulled the stones in groups with ropes.They worked in such wild places that it was difficult to give them enough clothes to wear.Thousands of people died of hard work and hunger.

　　Many people were driven to work on the wall far away from their homes and they never came back.

　　Now in some places the wall has fallen.We are trying to repair it.As an old building，the Great Wall of China is known to the whole world.Every year thousands and thousands of people come to visit it from all over the world.It is a monument （纪念碑） to the strong will and hard work of the Chinese people.
