參考答案1:

Machu Picchu in southern Peru is a very interesting historic place and I have a great interest about his historic place. Though I have not visited this place in person, but I would definitely love to be there someday. I mostly learned about this place from one of my friends who visited there and from TV, internet and newspapers.

Machu Picchu is located in Machupicchu District in southern Peru and it is historically connected with the 15th-century Inca civilization. It is located in 2,430 meters or around 7,970 feet area above the sea level. This place lies on top of a mountain and is a very popular destination for the tourist all around the world. This place is referred as the "Lost city of the Incas" and it was named as one of the 7 wonders of the world in 2007. UNESCO nominated it as a world heritage in the year 1983.

This historic place was built as an estate for the Pachacuti emperor of the Inca civilization in around 1450, and is considered as the most significant and familiar icon of the Inca civilization.

A tourist can see the finest work of the Inca civilization there and can learn many thing about this civilization. Apart from the ruins and cultural icons, one can enjoy the great beauty surrounding this place. The sunset time is awesome and eye witnessing the hills is something unforgettable. The Inca bridge is interesting to hike, and the scattered stones in the place is a different experience one can get. The Condor, Steps , Falling stairs, Temples, Sacred Rock, Llamas and other Animals, Inca Trail will all blow your mind and would remind you that you are visiting one of the 7 wonders of the world.

This is an interesting place due to the vast area and iconic meaning of the Inca civilization. There are a lot to see, a lot to do and enjoy and being at one of the 7 wonders of the world is something a visitor will never forget. This place takes us to the past, in the time when Inca nation were there, and taught us how advanced they were as they have been able to build such a place with virtually no technological advancement of modern technology.

This was the center of the ( a civilization name...) civilization and was one of the most prominent cities of our country. More than several hundred feet had to be dug to discover it.

Now the place has been renovated to reflect the city it once been. There are more than hundred acres of places in this site and most of them are the remaining of the lost civilization and city of that time. There are several old buildings, castles, fortress, monuments, rivers, canons, cryptic houses, under paths and sculptures are there. A museum was built as recently as 10 years ago for the visitors to learn more about this lost city and people. The museum is a really good one in terms of its collection and reflection of that civilization.

To me, this was interesting because of the proof of advancement this civilization had. I have read a lot about this civilization and cultures of these people and visiting this place was a really good experience. The museum was very rich in terms of learning history.

雅思口語之名勝古蹟

紫禁城

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, and the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.

長城。

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 6th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 220–200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty

兵馬俑。The Terracotta Army are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Shi Huang Di the First Emperor of China. The terracotta figures, dating from 210 BC, were discovered in 1974 by several local farmers near Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China near the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor . The figures vary in height (184–197cm - 6ft–6ft 5in), according to their role, the tallest being the Generals. The figures include warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority still buried in the pits.

泰山。

Mount Tai (Chinese: 泰山; pinyin: Tài Shān) is a mountain of historical and cultural significance located north of the city of Tai'an, in Shandong Province, China. The tallest peak is Jade Emperor Peak (simplified Chinese: 玉皇頂; traditional Chinese: 玉皇頂; pinyin: Yùhuáng Dīng), which is commonly reported as 1545 metres (5069 feet) tall[1], but is described by the Chinese government as 1532.7 metres (5028.5 feet)[2].

Mount Tai is one of the "Five Sacred Mountains of Taoism". It is associated with sunrise, birth, and renewal, and is often regarded the foremost of the five. The temples on its slopes have been a destination for pilgrims for 3,000 years.

黃山。

The Huangshan (Chinese: 黃山; pinyin: Huángshān; literally Yellow Mountain) is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. The area is very famous for its scenic beauty, which lies in the peculiar shapes of the granite peaks, in the weather-shaped Huangshan Pine trees, and in views of the clouds from above. The area also has hot springs and natural pools. The Huang Shan are a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature. Today, they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of China's most popular tourist destinations.

雅思口語話題：描述一個你去過的歷史建築

今天，給大家帶來的口語話題依舊是一道雅思口語非常高頻的地點類話題，Describe a historical building you have been to. 描述一個你去過的歷史建築。看到這個話題，不僅讓我們再次感到顫抖，因爲很多同學們對於歷史建築類的話題感到非常棘手，因爲平時自己對歷史不太感興趣，相關的歷史建築方面的素材積累和背景知識儲備也不是很全面，沒關係，今天我將在這篇文章中來幫助大家搭建好這個話題的思路，更重要的是，來給大家提供一些我親自去過的來自世界各地的歷史建築的語料和素材，來幫大家進行一場穿越歷史長河的頭腦風暴。

首先，我們還是先按照我們經典的5w方法來一起把這個話題的框架給搭建起來。When：你是什麼時候去參觀這個歷史建築的?哪一年?或者是在什麼特殊的節日?當然這裏的when也完全可以理解爲這個建築是什麼時間什麼朝代建成的?它有多長的歷史了? Where：這個建築位於哪裏?哪個國家?哪個城市?距離你的家鄉有多遠?你是如何到達這個地方的?這裏是否非常容易到達(accessible)?Who：這個建築是誰設計的?是爲了紀念誰而建造的?或者是說你跟誰一起去參觀的這個建築呢?What：這個建築有什麼特點?外形方面?歷史地位?或者是這個建築的功能和作用是什麼?它是一座皇宮還是一座陵墓?是一個宗教場所(教堂/佛寺/清真寺)還是一座古老的城堡?Why：這個建築有哪些地方給你留下了很深刻的印象?爲什麼你會選擇介紹這個歷史建築呢?它爲什麼有如此崇高的歷史地位呢?這裏一定要把原因闡釋清楚。

搭建好思路和提綱之後呢，下面我們來一起看一看這個話題有哪些比較合適恰當的素材。首先我們還是要審題，既然是historical building歷史建築，那麼這個建築肯定要有相對比較長的歷史，必須是很久之前建成的。題目要求中並沒有強調是國內的或者是國外的建築，因此，這個話題的素材面還是很寬泛的，我們可以選擇東西方的歷史建築作爲例子。這裏有一點需要強調一下，關於歷史建築，我們可以講其分爲幾個大類：祭祀場所，陵墓/宗教場所/城市遺址/皇宮/古代的公共場所等。下面，我們從祭祀場所或者陵墓開始聊起吧，我會給大家提供一些素材並進行背景知識的介紹和相關歷史的普及。

01祭祀場所/陵墓

一提到祭祀場所或者是陵墓，我們腦海中肯定會浮現出大量的國內的例子，我們從身邊的南京明孝陵開始聊起。明孝陵位於南京市玄武區紫金山南麓獨龍阜玩珠峯下，東毗中山陵，南臨梅花山，位於鐘山風景名勝區內，是明太祖朱元璋與其皇后的合葬陵寢。因皇后馬氏諡號“孝慈高皇后”，又因奉行孝治天下，故名“孝陵”。

明孝陵作爲中國明清皇陵之首，代表了明初建築和石刻藝術的最高成就，直接影響明清兩代五百餘年20多座帝王陵寢的形制，依歷史進程分佈於北京、湖北、遼寧、河北等地的明清皇家陵寢，均按南京明孝陵的規制和模式營建，在中國帝陵發展史上有着特殊的地位，故而有“明清皇家第一陵”的美譽。

此外，我們還可以說北京的天壇(the Heaven Temple)，天壇始建於明永樂十八年(1420年)，清乾隆、光緒時曾重修改建。爲明、清兩代帝王祭祀皇天、祈五穀豐登之場所。天壇是圜丘、祈谷兩壇的總稱，有壇牆兩重，形成內外壇，壇牆南方北圓，象徵天圓地方。在北京，還有很多其他的歷史建築，尤其是祭祀場所或者是皇帝的陵墓，例如明十三陵等。

我們還可以講西安的秦始皇陵/兵馬俑。兵馬俑是第一批全國重點文物保護單位，第一批中國世界遺產，位於今陝西省西安市臨潼區秦始皇陵以東1.5千米處的兵馬俑坑內。秦始皇兵馬俑陪葬坑坐西向東，三坑呈品字形排列。最早發現的是一號俑坑，呈長方形，坑裏有8000多個兵馬俑，四面有斜坡門道。1987年，秦始皇陵及兵馬俑坑被聯合國教科文組織批准列入《世界遺產名錄》，並被譽爲“世界第八大奇蹟” [4] ，先後有200多位外國元首和政府首腦參觀訪問，成爲中國古代輝煌文明的一張金字名片，被譽爲世界十大

古墓稀世珍寶之一。

當然，在國外也有很多著名的祭祀場所或者陵墓，例如埃及的金字塔，埃及金字塔是古埃及的帝王(法老)陵墓。世界七大奇蹟之一。數量衆多，分佈廣泛。開羅西南尼羅河西古城孟菲斯一帶的金字塔是佔有集中的一部分。埃及共發現金字塔96座，最大的是開羅郊區胡夫的三座金字塔。約從公元前3500年開始，尼羅河兩岸陸續出現幾十個奴隸制小國。

約公元前3100年，初步統一的古代埃及國家建立起來。古埃及國王也稱法老，是古埃及最大的奴隸主，擁有至高無上的權力。他們被看做是神的化身。他們爲自己修建了巨大的陵墓金字塔，金字塔就成了法老權力的象徵。因爲這些巨大的陵墓外形形似漢字的“金”字，因此我們將其稱之爲“金字塔”。在哈夫拉金字塔前，還有一尊獅身人面像守衛着法老們的陵墓。此外，在埃及還有圖坦卡蒙陵墓，這是3300年來惟一一個完好無缺的法老陵墓，也是埃及最豪華的陵寢，更是埃及考古史乃至世界考古史上最偉大的發現。文物無可比擬的歷史價值和所蘊涵的謎團使圖坦卡蒙陵墓排在世界十大寶藏的第一位。

其實大家有所不知，金字塔不僅僅存在於埃及，也不僅僅是陵墓，在拉丁美洲的墨西哥也發現了金字塔，而這裏的金字塔不是陵墓，而是祭祀場所。位於墨西哥提奧提華坎遺蹟，被發現了著名的太陽金字塔(Pirámide del Sol)和月亮金字塔(Pirámide del Luna)，太陽金字塔是古印第安人祭祀太陽神的地方，它建築宏偉，呈梯形，坐東朝西，正面有數百級臺階直達頂端。內部用泥土和沙石堆建，從下到上各臺階外表都鑲嵌着巨大的石板，石板上雕刻着五彩繽紛的圖案。在墨西哥的尤卡坦半島的中東部，也發現了奇琴伊察金字塔(Chichén Itzá)。

02.宗教場所

關於宗教場所，在這裏主要跟大家介紹一下來自國外的著名的宗教場所。我們會以世界三大宗教(基督教，伊斯蘭教和佛教)爲例子，當然我們還會補充印度教和猶太教等。基督教的主要集會場所當屬教堂了，那麼世界上歷史很悠久的教堂有很多，而當中絕大多數又都位於歐洲，接下來給大家介紹幾個我去過的很出名的教堂。

首先就是位於意大利米蘭的米蘭大教堂(Duomo di Milano)。它是意大利著名的天主教堂，規模位居世界第二，於1386年開工建造，1500年完成拱頂，1774年最高的哥特式塔尖上的鍍金聖母瑪麗亞雕像由Giuseppe Perego建造，是米蘭市的象徵。整個教堂1965年完工，歷時五個世紀。距今已有2000多年的歷史。拿破崙曾於1805年在米蘭大教堂舉行加冕儀式。

其次，位於西班牙的塞維利亞大教堂也是很棒的例子，聖彼得大教堂(St. Peter's Basilica Church)又稱聖伯多祿大教堂、梵蒂岡大殿。由伯拉孟特、米開朗基羅等建築師不斷設計並完善，是位於梵蒂岡的一座天主教宗座聖殿，建於1506年至1626年，爲天主教會重要的象徵之一。作爲最傑出的文藝復興建築和世界上最大的教堂，其佔地23,000平方米，可容納超過六萬人。最後，位於巴勒斯坦約旦河西岸城市伯利恆的聖誕教堂絕對是重頭戲。聖誕教堂被認爲是自基督教早期以來，經過漫長的風風雨雨和滄桑磨難，仍然得到幾乎完好保存的爲數寥寥的建築之一，具有很高的文化價值。距今已有2500年的歷史，也被認爲是耶穌的誕生地!

說完教堂，我們再來一起看看伊斯蘭教的代表建築：清真寺。首當其衝的當然是位於沙特阿拉伯的麥加大清真寺。麥加大清真寺位於沙特阿拉伯麥加城中心，規模宏偉，經幾個世紀以來的擴建和修葺，特別是沙特時代的擴建，總面積已擴大到18萬平方米，可容納50萬穆斯林同時作禮拜。距今已有1000多年的歷史，是世界各國穆斯林嚮往的地方和去麥加朝覲禮拜的聖地。

此外，我們也可以講位於以色列耶路撒冷的圓頂清真寺(The dome of the rock)，又稱爲金頂清真寺。它一直是耶路撒冷最著名的標誌之一。自公元7世紀修建以來，一千多年裏幾經翻修，1994年由約旦國王侯賽因出資650萬美元爲這個圓頂覆蓋上了24公斤純金箔，使它徹底名揚天下，圓頂清真寺由木屋頂變成了今天美麗的金色穹頂。它是穆斯林偉大的先知默罕默德昇天之地。

我們再來一起看一看佛教。世界上有很多知名的佛寺，今天跟大家分享一下位於柬埔寨的吳哥窟(Angkor Wat)，又稱吳哥寺，是世界上最大的廟宇類建築，同時也是世界上最早的高棉式建築，修建於1140年，吳哥窟是吳哥古蹟最精華的部分，也是柬埔寨早期建築風格的代表。1992年聯合國教科文組織將吳哥古蹟列入世界文化遺產。此後吳哥窟作爲吳哥古蹟的重中之重，成爲了柬埔寨一張亮麗的旅遊名片。

此外，我們還可以說位於印度尼西亞的世界聞名的婆羅浮屠(Borobudur)，大約修建於公元750年至850年間，由當時統治爪哇島的夏連特拉王朝統治者興建，意思是“山頂的佛寺”。後來因爲火山爆發，使這佛塔羣下沉、並隱蓋於茂密的熱帶叢林中近千年，直到19世紀初才被清理出來。婆羅浮屠與中國的長城、印度的泰姬陵、柬埔寨的吳哥窟並稱爲古代東方四大奇蹟。

此外，我們還可以瞭解一下印度教神廟普蘭巴南神廟(PrambananTemple)，它位於印度尼西亞日惹市，由250座大大小小的陵廟組成，建於公元900年左右，是爲埋藏當時國王及王后骨灰而修建的。是印尼最宏偉壯麗的印度教寺廟，是世界建築、雕刻和繪畫藝術史上一顆璀璨的明珠。最後，位於以色列的哭牆(Western Wall)又名西牆，則是猶太教如心中的聖地。千百年來，流落在世界各個角落的猶太人回到聖城耶路撒冷時，便會來到這面石牆前低聲禱告，哭訴流亡之苦，所以被稱爲“哭牆”。距今已有超過兩千年的歷史了。

03.城市遺址

說到城市遺址，這裏指的是古老城市因災害或者戰爭而殘存下來的城市遺蹟。首先，我們來一起看一下位於南美洲祕魯庫斯科市的馬丘比丘(Machu Picchu)!整個遺址高聳在海拔約2350米的山脊上，俯瞰着烏魯班巴河谷，爲熱帶叢林所包圍，是祕魯著名的前哥倫布時期印加帝國建於約公元1500年的遺蹟，也是世界新七大奇蹟之一。馬丘比丘在克丘亞語中爲“古老的山”之義，也被稱作“失落的印加城市“。

整個遺蹟由約140個建築物組成，包括廟宇、避難所、公園和居住區。馬丘比丘的全部建築都是印加傳統風格：磨光的規則形狀的牆，以及美妙的接縫技巧，牆上石塊和石塊之間的縫隙連匕首都無法放進去，讓人簡直無法理解印加人是究竟如何把他們拼接在一起的。

此外，我們還可以說伊朗的波斯波利斯(Perspolis)古城遺址，這裏是波斯阿契美尼德王朝的第二個都城。建於大流士一世(公元前522-前486年在位)時期，其遺址發現於設拉子東北52公里的塔赫特賈姆希德附近。城址東面依山，其餘三面有圍牆。主要遺蹟有大流士王的接見廳與百柱宮等。1979年聯合國教科文組織將波斯波利斯作爲文化遺產。最後，我們也可以講位於約旦的佩特拉古城。佩特拉古城(公元前9年—公元40年)，是約旦南部的一座歷史古城，它是約旦南部沙漠中的神祕古城之一，也是約旦最負盛名的古蹟區之一。

它幾乎是全在岩石上雕鑿而成，佩特拉遺址的岩石帶有珊瑚寶石般的微紅色調，在陽光照射下熠熠發亮。特殊的地貌使它呈現出絕美的顏色，所以又被稱爲“玫瑰古城”。

04.皇宮

提到皇宮，在這裏首先給大家介紹的是我國的布達拉宮，位於西藏拉薩西北的瑪布日山上，是著名的宮堡式建築羣，藏族古建築藝術的精華。始建於公元7世紀，是藏王松贊干布爲遠嫁西藏的唐朝文成公主而建。全部爲石木結構，5座宮頂覆蓋鎦金銅瓦，金光燦爛，氣勢雄偉。

此外，放眼世界，我們還可以說位於俄羅斯莫斯科的克里姆林宮(Kremlin)，曾爲莫斯科公國和十八世紀以前的沙皇皇宮，十二月革命勝利後，成爲黨政領導機關駐地。1156年始建，後屢經擴建，爲一古老建築羣，主要有大克里姆林宮、聖母昇天教堂、政府大廈，伊凡大鐘樓等。宮內塔樓是裝有五角紅寶石星。現亦作爲俄羅斯政府的代稱。

還有法國的凡爾賽宮，凡爾賽宮是法國封建時期帝王的行宮，在巴黎市西南凡爾賽城，是世界上最大的宮殿單體建築。始建於十六世紀，後屢經擴建形成現存規模。包括宮前大花園、宮殿和放射形大道三部分。形體對稱，軸形東西向。宮內裝潢極其豪華，內壁懸掛壁毯、油畫、雕刻，大廳內陳列著名雕刻家的青銅或大理石雕像，享有藝術宮殿之盛譽。還有位於土耳其伊斯坦布爾的託普卡普皇宮(Topkapi Palace)，這裏是從15世紀到19世紀奧斯曼帝國的中心。這迷宮般的豪華至極的地方，是當年蘇丹們辦公的地方。宮殿外側是綠木蔥鬱的第一庭院，原本是宮廷餐室的第二庭院，現在成爲帝國時代水晶製品、銀器以及中國陶瓷器的藏館。其景色被稱爲博斯普魯斯海峽最傑出的一角。

05.公共娛樂場所

其實，提到古代的公共娛樂場所，大家可能一下子想不到太多很恰當的例子，但是看完了我的分享，大家一定會恍然大悟的。

首先給大家帶來的就是一出非常經典的歷史建築，位於意大利羅馬的角鬥場(Colosseum)羅馬角鬥場又稱爲弗萊文圓形劇場，處在意大利首都羅馬市內臺伯河東岸，爲古羅馬的象徵，被譽爲"世界八大奇蹟"之一。

角鬥場建於公元72-79年，強迫8萬名猶太俘虜作勞役，用工8年完成。整個建築佔地2萬平方米，周長527米，可容納9萬觀衆。據說當年角鬥場開幕時，共用5000頭獅子、老虎等猛獸和由3000名奴隸、俘虜、罪犯及受宗教迫害的基督教徒組成的角鬥士，在此持續進行了100天的表演。它是羅馬帝國征服耶路撒冷後，爲紀念皇帝威斯巴西安的豐功偉績而建的，甚至一直影響着現代大型體育場的建築。

此外，我們還可以講位於希臘首都雅典的帕特農神廟(Parthenon temple )。它位於雅典衛城的古城堡中心、石灰岩的山崗上，聳峙着一座巍峨的矩形建築物，神廟矗立在衛城的最高點，神廟歷經兩千多年的滄桑之變，如今廟頂已坍塌，雕像蕩然無存，浮雕剝蝕嚴重，但從巍然屹立的柱廊中，還可以看出神廟當年的丰姿。

當然，如果大家對音樂感興趣，一定聽說過奧地利首都維也納的金色大廳，全稱爲維也納音樂協會金色大廳(Musikverein)這是維也納最古老、最現代化的音樂廳，是維也納也是世界上著名的音樂廳之一。金色大廳由T·馮·漢森始建於1867年，1869年竣工。是意大利文藝復興式建築。外牆黃紅兩色相間，屋頂上豎立着許多音樂女神雕像，古雅別緻。金色大廳並非一座獨立的建築，而是音樂之友協會大樓的一部分，該建築物中有多個音樂廳，除金色大廳外，還包括勃拉姆斯廳和莫扎特廳等演出大廳，以及辦公室。金色大廳是維也納音樂生活的支點，也是維也納愛樂樂團的常年演出場地。

維也納新年音樂會按照傳統都會在這裏舉行，每年隨着新年音樂會通過電視轉播將該大廳金碧輝煌的裝飾和無與倫比的音響效果展現在全世界的觀衆面前。

好了，今天給大家的分享就到此結束了，下面我爲大家提供了一個巴黎聖母院的例子作爲範文和參考，難度適中，希望對大家有所幫助。我們下期見。

Describe a historical building you have been to.

You should say,

When you visited this building

Where is it located

What it looks like

And explain your feeling about this building.

When it comes to the historical building that I have been to, I will definitely illustrate the Notre-Dame, which is located in Paris, France. I visited this building 6 months ago with my parents and other family members while we were touring around Europe as it has been regarded as one of the must-see places in France. To be frank, I didn't take it seriously before going there because I knew nothing except for the little information from the book “ the Hunchback of Notre Dame” and its adapted movie. But, when I was actually standing there, I was totally stunned by this grand Catholic cathedral. As is was in a bay area, its height made it quite an eye-catcher. What I have learned the most was about the cultural perspectives. There were so many religious elements that I had never heard about. For example, this article is from a particular website, some sculptures depicted some scenes of the last judgement from the Holy Bible such as weighing the souls, which was so interesting. Honestly speaking, I didn't get much exposure to Christianity, but there is indeed something equivalent like the King of Hell, who was also regarded as a power to weigh the good and the evil. Also, the interior design of it was breathtaking, so many beautiful mosaics about those sacred stories. Well, I argue that this historical building was so meaningful to me as it gave me a brand new perspective to the cynical world. You know, I also feel so sorry for the recent catastrophic fire that engulfed the upper reaches of this precious architecture of human civilization. i hope the renovation could be carried on as fast as possible and finish smoothly.
