Tower Bridge, which was built from 1886 to 1894, is a
bridge across the River Thames in London, famous for its

16世纪时，邻国威尔士并入英格兰王国。随后，苏格兰在18世纪也加入进来，从而诞生了大不列颠王国。19世纪时，爱尔兰加入，组成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。最后，在20世纪时，爱尔兰南部脱离了联合王国，形成了今天的英国全称：大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。大多数人只是使用简称：“联合王国”。联合王国的人被称为“英国人”，这意味着联合王国也经常被称为英国或大不列颠。

Your foreign friend Jim is planning to visit China this year and is asking you for some suggestions. Please recommend a great place to start a visit in China and studying Chinese history.
Dear Jim,
It’s nice to hear from you. I’m writing to share with you some suggestions for your visit to China.
Knowing a little Chinese history will be helpful when you visit China. It can help you understand a lot about our country and our traditions and can make your visit much more enjoyable.
If you visit China, I recommend Xi’an which is a great place to start, an ancient city with an interesting history. There are countless historic sites for you to explore, and lots of museums with ancient items from all over China. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.
Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Li Hua
Thank you !
