I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say.
And who cares Why do people want things to be perfect Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

We students should always improve ourselves. Travelling and reading are good for us. Our body and soul must be on the way.
Last summer I visited the Forbidden City. I was amazed by the wonderful palaces and those world-famous works of art. Of course I have learnt a lot about our great history.
Reading is a lot of fun. When I read the books that I love most, I feel relaxed. Journey to the West is my favorite book. The Monkey King always tries his best to solve the difficulties that he faces and never gives up. He really encourages me a lot in some ways.
I think both travelling and reading can enrich our experience and help us better understand our life.
