1.Hello,we will have a 30 days vacation.How do you arrange your holiday?2.Well,I have heard so much about the Terracotta Army.Everyone tells me to go and see the figures of the warriors and horses.3.As we all know,the Terracotta Army is the eighth wonder of the world.And I would like to see them too.1.OK,lets go and enjoy our vacation soon after.2.Wow,its so magnificent.Its a feast for eyes.1.Of course,the terracotta figures were buried with first emperor of Qin Shihuang,which well represents his ambition to be realized in the nether-world.3.Well,tell me about Qin Shihuang.He must do something remarkable!1.Absolutely,in the year 221BC,when emperor Qin unified the whole country,he started to standardize legal codes,written language and ordered the Great Wall be built to protect against harassment.2.Yes,but I think he maybe think he was unsafe.So he demanded a stable tomb.When he was dead,the army which was made by hand sculpting and moulding techniques could protect him.1.You are right.Now the construct of this tomb is believed to have taken 700000 workers and craftsmen 36 years to complete,with the Terracotta Army concluded.3.Its unimaginable.But how can we find them?1.Its just a coincidence.In1974,the Terracotta Army was discovered in the eastern suburbs of Xian Shaanxi Province by local farmers drilling a water well.3.Look at all the terracotta figures,they are all different in appearance.2.Yes,because Qin Shihuang needed a active army like real life.And they look healthy,strong and have different facial expressions.1.Probably they were sculpted by craftsmen according to real soldiers of the Qin dynasty.
