Last year , my wife celebrated my birthday at home. She bought a electronic dictionary as birthday gift. I like the electronic dictionary very much. It's blue and quite small. It fits into my pocket. I remember at that time, my wife said to me :"she decided to immigrate to Canada with me. In future, we must study very hard .And she hoped that the electronic dictionary could help me to improve my English."

2. building
What is the interesting building in your country?
What is it located?What is it used for?
Explain why you think it is the most interesting?
I think the interesting building is the Great Wall. It runs across northChina like a huge dragon. It was used to enemies. Soldiers used to keep watch onthe Great Wall. When the enemy came , fires were lit to warn other soldiers.I think the Great Wall is the most interesting building. Because it is oneof the wonders of the world and it was one of the few man-made objects on earththat could be seen by the astronauts who landed on the moon. Also, the Great Wallhas become a symbol of both China's proud history and its present strength.
