TERRACOTTA ARMY
Come and see the Terracotta Army: more than 8,000 statues were made in the third century BCE to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang! Each statue has a different face, leading researchers to believe that each one is copy of a real soldier. The statues fill only one part of the emperor's huge tomb, which still has not been completely unearthed. More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb. However, no one in modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974, when some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well!
Read the brochure about the Terracotta Army and talk about what amazes you the most.

Dear Richard,
My time in England is going wonderfully! My new school is amazing, and all the teachers and classmates are so friendly. Over the Christmas holiday, my parents and I are going up to London to see the Tower of London. This is the old castle that the king used to live in. I just can’t wait to see it. It has such an incredible history and there are so many amazing stories connected with it.
We’re also planning on seeing Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Millennium Bridge while we are there, and of course we’re going to ride on the London Eye! I think my mother is mostly interested in the shopping, however, so we will also stop by Regent Street.
We plan on taking a train up, which should only take an hour and a half. Since we are staying for a week, we plan on just stretching our legs a little after we arrive and then hitting the sights the next day.
Well, I guess that’s about it for now. I’ll buy you a souvenir from the Tower shop. Talk later!
Your friend,
Xiao Li
Go and explore and share!
The world is there waiting for you!
