The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) in India is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

Over three hundred years ago, King Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his wife.

He wanted his wife’s tomb to be perfect. He didn’t care about time or money. Over 20, 000 men from all over the world built the tomb, and it took them over twenty years to finish it. The building stands on a terrace(台地) of red stone. Four white towers rise from the corners of the terrace. A  large  dome (圆顶)  rises   from  the  roof of the   building. Around this main dome there are four smaller domes. The building has eight sides and is made of white marble(大理石) with colored marble. An open corridor leads up to the central room. The bodies of the king and his wife lie in a tomb below this room. There is a beautiful garden around the Taj Mahal. The green trees make the marble look even whiter. In front of the main gate is a long pool. If you look into this pool, you can see all the beauty of the Tai Mahal in the reflection from the water.

People think the Taj Mahal is most beautiful at sunset(日落). It attracts thousands of tourists to visit the great building each year.

    有必要,利用假期多学点东西会很有用处。
    没必要,应让孩子们快乐地过个暑假。
