The Statue of Liberty

自由女神铜像

In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor(雕塑家)named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. 1 The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary(周年纪念日)of U.S. independence(独立)from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. 2 It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.

As y ou might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator(电梯)from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight (景色)of the city of New York.

Dear…,

I haven’ t heard from you for a long time. How are you?

I have just finished the exams. Now I am glad I have time to write to you. Our teacher tells us that China is a large country. It has the largest population in the world. It is very far from the USA. It is on the other side of the world. Now the sun is shining brightly while I am writing to you. But perhaps you are sleeping in the dark night. How interesting it is! I’m  becoming more interested in China. I wish to know more about your life. Could you tell me what kind of food you often have for meals? Please write me soon!

Best wishes to you!

yours,

Catherine
