Q2：Have you been to The Terracotta Warriors？Can you say something about it？

    Hello, boys and girls, I'm honored to give a speech here today. I want to say something about the great statues, The Terracotta Warriors.

    The Terracotta Warriors(兵马俑)lies in the Mount. Li, Xi'an City, Shanxi Province. It's one of the "Seven Great Wonders of the World". Every year, millions of visitors come to visit it, from China and other countries.

    Who dig these big holes and who put so many statues into the holes? Let me tell you. The first emperor of China, Zheng Ying(嬴政)want to build a special tomb to show he is the greatest emperor in Chinese history. So he made o dot two million workers to dig four holes and put many statues of soldiers, horses and war-coaches(战车) into the holes. Then in the middle, they put the corpse of Zheng Ying into the casket. The ancient Chinese people thought the "Army" can protect the Qin emperor. They fill the holes with worth. At last they build a big tomb like a pyramid over the holes. And this is the tomb of the first Qin emperor(秦始皇陵).

    In 1974,a farmer found the head of a statue soldier. Then Chinese government explored and found the whole tomb. In 1987,The Terracotta Warriors was included to the World Heritage List(世界遗产名录) by UN(联合国) according to level C. Today The Terracotta Warriors is tourist scenery of history.

    That's all I want to tell you. Thank you for listening. Good-bye!
