Unit 2 兵马俑 第30页

Dear Xiao  Li,

My  time here in China is going well.I  love my new school and classmates.Over  the October  holiday,my  parents  and I are planning  to  go  to  Xi'an  to  see  the  Terracotta Army.I've  heard  that  it  is an amazing   sight, and  I  can't  wait  to  go.To  me,the  story  of the Terracotta Army  is almost  unbelievable.It's  amazing  that  there  are  more  than  8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until  the  1970s.

We're also planning to visit several other places in Xi'an.My dad and I are both looking   forward   to going to the Shaanxi History   Museum,because  my dad loves history  and I have heard  that  this museum is known as a “Chinese  treasure  house”! We're also going to the Xi'an City Wall and a few other famous sights.

We're taking the train,leaving the day before the October holiday begins.We're arriving at 9:30 a.m.and will start sightseeing right away,solhope we sleep well on the train!

I guess that's  allfor  now!I'write  again  soon  and  send  photos!Do  you  have  any  plans  for the coming holiday?Hope to hear from you soon.

Your  friend,

Richard

 让我们来看看兵马俑吧。大约在公元前三世纪，人们制作了超过 8000 个雕像，用于守护中国皇帝秦始皇的陵墓。每个雕像都有不同的面容。主要的研究表明，每一个雕像都是真实士兵的复制品。这些雕像只是秦始皇庞大陵墓的一部分，而整个陵墓尚未完全被发掘出来。
