几乎每一个城市,都有一座地标性建筑。如果你的家乡,或者你读书的地方,也恰好有一座独具特色的建筑,就不要浪费了这大好的口语素材哦!如果它没有埃菲尔铁塔或者比萨斜塔那么著名,你还可以动用想象力随意发挥一下建筑里的设施,考官不会介意的。
I’d like to talk about Macao Tower which is the highest building I’ve ever been to.
If I remember right, it’s more than 300 meters in height. When it’s getting dark, all the lights on the tower are on, which beautifies the night view in Macao. My school is close to the tower, so I could see it every night. I’m a junior now, but every time I see the tower, I’m still so impressed.
If you stand on the observation deck, you’ll have a bird’s eye view of the city. / have a panoramic view of the city.
And on the deck, there are famous restaurants and theaters, shopping malls and the Skywalk X, which is a thrilling walking tour around the outer rim.
What attracts me most about the tower is that, it has the highest bungee jump in the world, which is more than 200 meters above the ground. Once, I saw a guy jumping off the building, all I heard was a loud scream, and a few seconds later, the sound of the guy landing on the safety cushion on the ground. All the people who have tried this told me it was super exciting. However, the fee is really high, it cost about 2000 RMB.
If you visit Macao someday, this building definitely should be at the top of your must-see list.
