The Great Wall of China is a 5,500-mile-long wall in China. It is actually made up of several walls built at different times. Some of the walls were built over two thousand years ago. When the first walls were built, China was made up of small kingdoms. Later, when the kingdoms became one country, the leader of China joined all the walls into one long wall. The strongest parts of the wall were built many years later. Over time, parts of the wall have been damaged. But the strongest part of the wall still stands and is visited by thousands of people every day.

What is the main idea?

• Thousands of people visit the Great Wall every day.

• The Great Wall of China is made of different walls that together took thousands of years to build.

• When they first started building the wall, China was made of many kingdoms.

• The strongest parts of the wall were built many years after they started building.
