I think this Article is excellent for facts about the Great Wall of China and I do recommend this article to people who want to know more about the Great Wall of China.
I think this article, about the great wall of china is very interesting and fun to read because it tells you why it was built and how big the great wall really is compared to new Zealand it is humongous also it tells you what it was made out of.
Bye Alex
I really liked how interesting it was and it’s so cool it can wrap around NZ 23 times.
I liked doing this and answering the questions on this I would do this again as well and I learnt stuff about the Great wall of China that I have never known before.
I liked answering the questions and finding out things that I didn’t know before.
I think this was a cool article with interesting facts. I learnt a lot from it and I thought it was crazy how it could wrap around New Zealand twenty three times! I also learnt about some of the natural disasters that occurred to damage it as well as humans who took materials from it. I also did not expect it to take one and half years to walk across. overall I would give it a four out of five
very cool the people that made it a VERY talented.
i really like this article because I really did not know much about the great wall of china but after I read this article now I know more about it I did not know that the emperor was Qin shi huang builders used to mix rice with lime to create super strong concrete
It was great to understand a lot more about the Great Wall of China and it’s history, would like to go there sometime.
I found this article very interesting, I learnt a lot about the Great Wall of China than I already knew. My favorite bit was how the ancient Chinese people used rice to make building materials.
