Question

【題目】 Today, I’d like to introduce the Big Ben to you. It’s a name of a famous building in London, the capital of England. The Big Ben stands on the bank of the Thames River. It was built in 1858 and first struck time in 1859. It is like a very old man who is still standing there and striking time rightly. It seems to tell people that “Time waits for no man”, and everyone should work hard. As the symbol of London, the clock tower is 95 meters high. Only the main bell weighs 13.5 tons. It has four faces, so no matter where you stand, you can read the time. Each face is as big as a bus. The hour hand is more than 2 meters long and the minute hand is over 4 meters long. It’s very huge, isn’t it? The Big Ben is so famous that large numbers of tourists from all over the world come to visit it every year.
