Stonehenge is one of the oldest places made by man. It took about 700 years to build the oldest part of it is now believed to be 4,800 years old. It is located in the south of England near a small town called Amesbury in an area which has many other ancient monuments.

    Stonehenge consists of several circles. Some of them are made of stone, one is a ditch(沟渠)and one consists of 56 holes in the ground called “Aubrey holes”. Because many of the stones have fallen over or have been moved, it is difficult to see the full shape. The outside circle of stones once had 30 enormous (巨大的) stones, each weighing about 25 tons. On top of them used to be 30 more weighing 7 tons each, so that they made a circle of huge arches (拱形).Inside this was a horseshoe shape of five even bigger arches in which each of the upright (直立的) stones weighed 45 tones. Inside this was a bluestone circle of 60 stones, then a bluestone horseshoe of 19 stones. Finally in the middle was an enormous stone called the altar (祭坛) stones. The bluestone came from some mountains in Wales, 385 kilometers away, and even the other stones came a distance of at least 50 kilometers. Carrying the 80 stones to form the main circles probably took several thousand men several years.

    Nobody knows why it was built. It may have been a kind of church; it may have been a meeting place for the people who lived near. Some people say that it was a means of predicting the position of the sun, the moon and the stars. It has also been discovered that Stonehenge is located on some mysterious (神秘的)lines called “ley lines ” that seem to join together ancient buildings and places in England.

    Hey! Mother's Day is coming. Have you planned something good for your mom? If not, try one of these tips.

    What's Her Favorite?

    Buy her something she likes and wrap (包装) it carefully. The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it.

    Treat a Queen

    Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though (虽然) her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off and you can do the housework.

    Maybe you could take some of your savings to treat her in the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look beautiful!

    Have Some of Your Time

    What's your best moment with her? Have you ever had a good time with your mother not talking about your problems? Have you ever told her how much you thank her for the life she gave to you? Maybe you can tell her how happy you were when she was there looking after you during your painful days in your life.

    Tell the magic words

    Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her "I love you!" and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

    My name is Mary. I am a middle school student. I like traveling. And I dreamed of visiting Beijing many times before. Last month I went there with my parents. I was so excited that I couldn't go to sleep the night before we started. I got up early and packed my backpack for the trip the next morning. It took us 25 hours to get there by train .After the breakfast and a short rest, we began our visiting plan. We visited many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Great Wall, the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. They are all very fascinating, especially the Great Wall. We really enjoyed ourselves that week.

    After visiting so many exciting places of interest, I felt tired but happy because I learned a lot about the history of the city. As soon as I arrived home, I talked about it on the Internet with my classmates and showed them some photos that I took. They were happy to see the photos and they said what a great trip I had had.
