a First, read about the Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is the longest structure which

has ever been built It has a total length of 6400

kilometres and was made completely by hand The

building of the wall began around 400 BC and continued

from time to time until around AD 1600 It was built by

the Chinese to protect the northern border of China

against invaders Although the wall gave protection from

minor attacks, it proved little defence against a major

invasion For example, the Mongol leader, Genghis

Khan, crossed the wall in the 1200s and conquered most

of China The wall was rebuilt during the Ming dynasty,

between 1368 and 1644, and almost all the present

structure dates from then The Chinese no longer use the

wall for defence Nowadays it attracts thousands of

visitors from all over the world

a First, read about the Oscars

The Oscars

The Oscars are awarded every year by the American

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science These

statuettes are awarded to actors, film directors,

screenwriters and so on for outstanding contributions to

the film industry The Oscars were first awarded in

1927 The first winners were chosen by five judges

Nowadays all of the members of the Academy vote

The ceremony is attended by most Hollywood stars,

although some famous stars, such as Woody Allen,

refuse to go, even if they win an award The oldest

winner of an Oscar was 80-year-old Jessica Tandy for

her performance in the film Driving Miss Daisy in

1990 The youngest was Shirley Temple when she was

only five years old The statuette is of a soldier standing

on a reel of film Nobody is really sure why it is called

an Oscar, although some people say that it is because,

when the first statuette was made, a secretary said, ‘It

reminds me of my Uncle Oscar!’
