The puppet show will be held in the Kids’ Zone, perfect for families.
Painting workshops take place in the Art Tent near the north entrance.
The concert, featuring local bands, will happen on the Main Stage.
If you’re looking to buy crafts and souvenirs, head to Market Street.
The football match is set for Saturday afternoon at the Sports Field.
And all street food stalls are located in the Food Court near the centre fountain.

We hope you have a wonderful time!

Jack: Good. We’ll write everything down in a notebook.
Maria: And for the presentation, we’ll make a poster and prepare a short talk.
Jack: Let’s get to work!

✅ SECTION 4 – Lecture on The Great Wall of China

Lecturer: Today, we’re learning about one of the world’s most iconic structures – The Great Wall of China.

It was originally built to protect Chinese states from northern invaders.

The materials used varied, but commonly included stone, wood, and earth.

It stretches more than 21,000 kilometers across northern China.

Construction began during the Qin dynasty, over 2,000 years ago.

Watchtowers along the wall were used for both defense and communication.

In bad weather, visibility drops below 50 meters, making it dangerous for hikers.

Some areas are closed due to landslide risks, especially during the rainy season.

In 1987, UNESCO recognized the wall as a World Heritage Site.

Major repairs occurred in the 20th century, especially in tourist areas.

Today, the wall attracts over 10 million visitors annually, making it one of the most popular sites in Asia.
