【推荐2】Amazing places need visiting

From man-made marvels such as the Great Wall and Taj Mahal to natural wonders like the Grand Canyon and Iguazu Falls, these amazing sites should be at the top of your travel list.

No.1 The Great Wall is generally considered as a symbol of China. The Great Wall of China is one of the wonders in the world, too. The Chinese call it the wall of 10,000 Li, which goes from the east to the west.

No.2 The Taj Mahal is universally recognized as the greatest building in India. Emperor Shah Jahan ordered to build this architecture for being used as the tomb of his wife.

No.3 The Grand Canyon has been there over the past six million years by Colorado River activity. It is one of the longest and deepest valleys in the world. Its red rocks make it a must-see -before-you-die place. Want to bring your four-leg friend along? The Grand Canyon is also among the best pet-friendly national parks!

No.4 The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Queensland Australia, is the largest living thing on earth. It’s so huge that you can see it from outer space! This 1,429-mile ecosystem is home to many sea creatures, including around 400 kinds of coral, 1,500 species of fish. Not surprisingly it is one of the best places for scuba divers.

【推荐2】Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization. Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion, these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation.

Situated on a steep cliff in Bhutan’s Paro Valley, the “Tiger’s Nest” earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger. The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge, requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.

Neighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi, Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century. Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.

This Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war, and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847. It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers, so it’s asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.

Penang is often touted(吹捧) for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters, but it’s also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultures, the temple’s architecture showcases Chinese, Thai, and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories. It’s estimated there are 10,000 statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas(宝塔).

【推荐3】The end of the school year is often when we celebrate student growth. I know how important it is for students to look back at everything they’ve achieved.

Students don’t always remember how far they’ve come over the year.   When we praise students for their growth, we help them remember or see it themselves. This can help inspire them to continue learning. That’s why I’ve written this letter to my fifth-grade students.

I encourage you to write your own letter to your students. Personalize it for each student by adding a sticky note or a handwritten message to point out specific growth areas.
