The Founding of Washington

　　When in 1789, George Washington became the first president of the United States, there was no permanent (永久的) capital in which to house the government. During the Revolutionary (革命) War seven different cities had served as the national capital. In addition, members of Congress (国会) could not agree as to where this permanent capital should be located(位于). Some officials wanted it in the north, others wanted it in the south. Each of the States hoped that the capital might lie within its own state lines. At last it was decided that the capital should occupy(占据) a section(区域) by itself, separate from any of the states. The place chosen(选择) was situated(位于) on the Potomac River. The land belonged originally (原先地) to the state of Maryland, but Maryland agreed to the national government. The section was named the District of Columbia after Christopher Columbus. The city itself was named Washington after George Washington. Work was begun on the new capital in 1791. In the year 1800 Congress occupied the new capital building; at the same time the White House was opened as the home of all future presidents.

In China, the National Holiday is a big festival and it is to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong in 1949.Besides from the Spring Festival, the National Holiday is the only other week-long public break from school and work.

As one of the only opportunities for workers to go home, visit their families or to travel around the country, all hotels, tourist attractions, trains, buses and airplanes around the country are completely packed with holidaying Chinese people.

Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day ? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.

It was reported that there were about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the Great Wall. “We couldn’t walk if the people in front of us didn’t walk,” he said. He showed us a photo on the Great Wall. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.

So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
