The Seven WondersJessica Hernandez

The Golden Gate Bridge

The bridge is one of the architectural marvels of

the 20th century and a testament to human

strife. The Golden Gate Bridge was built in San

Francisco, one of the premier skyline cities in

the nation. Joseph Baerman Strauss is

responsible for building the Golden Gate. He

was a distinguished engineer and because of

him it was a response that people said that the

bridge could not be built. That is why the bridge

is also known has " "Bridge that couldn't be

built". Its a wonder to me because I think its

important for people to know about like for

example, the total cost of the bridge was $35

million.

The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon

The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon is located

on the east bank of the River Euphrates, about

50 km south of Baghdad, Iraq. It is plants and

gardens hanging from the palace of terraces. It

was made out of stone columns because it

supported it. Also streams f water that emerge

from elevated sources flowing down sloping

channels. I consider The Hanging Gardens Of

Babylon a wonder because it is the only

building that has plants on it. Also because it

has a big history on its background.

The Great Wall Of China

The Great Wall of China is Located

in China. It stretches from

Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop

Lake in the west. It is made out of

brick, granite, and sophisticated

designs. Over the past few

centuries, the Great Wall has served

as a source of building materials for

local farms and villages. I consider it

a wonder because it is probably thre

longest wall ever. It is 5500 miles

long.

Victoria FallsVictoria Falls is a thinder of falling

water. It is lolcated in south central

Africa in the Zambezi River. It is a

natural landmark. No one "made" it.

It was named by David Livingstone.

Victoria Falls is made out of molten

lava. It is a wonder to me because i

think it is very beautiful, the way

that the water goes down.

The Statue Of Liberty

The statue of Liberty stands on Ellis

Island in New York, USA. It also

stands at more than 93 meters tall.

The statue was designed by Frederic

Bartholdi and completed in 1876. The

Statue of Liberty was a gift from the

French people to the United States.

It's made out of pure copper hung on

a framework of steel. It is a wonder to

me because for me it represent the

United States. Also because it has an

important history on it.

The Clock Tower, Big Ben

It was built in 1858 thre 1859. In

2009 it celebrated 150 years. The

bell was named after one Sir

Benjamin Hall. It is located in

central London on the north bank

of the river Thames. It is made of

brickwork covered by stone.  Big

Ben was designed by Billy

MacGibbon. It is a wonder to me

because it is a big clock that was

named after someone important.

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is located in

Colorado.  It measures up to 18 miles

across, with an average width of 10

miles. The Grand Canyon is a powerful

and inspiring landscape. The Grand

Canyon itself is less than six million years

old, created only since the Colorado

River changed course and began flowing

through the ancestral Colorado plateau. I

think that its a wonder because it is the

largest valley in the world.
