MY DREAM TRIPBy: Jilly E.

EIFFEL TOWERParis, France

The Eiffel Tower is one of the biggest attractions in France. It stands 1,063 feet and was created in 1887-1889 by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. I would like to go see the Eiffel because it is so beautiful and interesting. I also want to go out of country and see what it is like in Europe. I always thought it would be interesting to see the interaction and the community of another country since I have never experienced anything like it.

WAX MUSEUM (MUSÉE GRÉVIN)

Paris, France

The Museum was created in 1882 by Arthur Meyer. The museum contains more than 450 famous characters and each character is placed in a scene and posed. It’s almost like a physical picture. This year I learned how Marie Antoinette was an Australian Princess and then married Louie IV to become the queen of France.

COLOSSEUMRome, Italy

The Colosseum was built in  70–80 AD and was almost completely destroyed in the 21st century by earthquakes. It was once use as a gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. I would enjoy seeing the Colosseum because it has many lights that make it glow at night. I would also like to go to Italy in general to improve my Spanish and to learn about another culture.

LEANING TOWER OF PISAPisa, Italy

The leaning tower of Pisa is stands 186 feet tall and 13 feet wide. It was designed by two men named  Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano. I would enjoy going to Italy to see the leaning tower of Pisa because the architecture is interesting to me. I would also like to travel to Italy for fun and see another country.

SILK WORM FARMS

Zhejiang, China

Silk worms are used to produce silk which is extremely popular in china. One worm can produce up to 3000 feet long and reproduce up to 500 eggs. Silk was used a lot in trade along the silk road and in markets. This was one of the leading products in china for he longest time.

GREAT WALL OF CHINAChina

The Great wall of china was built in 220–206 BC and designed by first Emperor of China. It was used for protect against other armies trying to invade China. I would love to go to China and travel along the long path even though it is 5,500 miles. I would also like to learn about how the walls were used to protect China.

CABINET WAR ROOMSLondon, England

The Cabinet war rooms were built for Winston Churchill and his Advisor. They were rooms underground built to have secret meeting during world war II. Churchill played a semi-big role in world war II because he declared war on Germany and defeated them. He also was a journalist.

IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUMEngland, London

The museum was created in 1917 after World War I. The museum was, and still is used as a record for Britain. After World War II, the museum was expanded for more information and records. The museum tells all about Britain and what the country went through during each World War.

THE SILK ROADIndia

The silk road was the most important path in 206 BCE – 220 CE being 4,000 miles long. It was used as a trading route. India was the most useful since it was in between all the countries that the path went through. India also had to most useful products like spices and they also had silk and silkworm farms.

TAJ MAHAL

Agra ,India

Taj Mahal is used in many Bolly Wood Movies. It was built in memory of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s wife. I would love to be in any film in India that uses this beautiful building in their movie. I also like to learn their difficult, but interesting dances they perform in movies.
