That day, my life changed forever. Being a 28 years old young man who suffers from vertigo wasn’t a good combination. Especially if that person (me) walked along the Great Wall of China to raise money for our local hospital. But that amazing experience changed my point of view extraordinarily.

At the beginning, I was terrified of making that trip. However, my best friend finally convinced me. When we arrived there, we walked 10 km until we got to the first stop, where we camped. In spite of my fear of heights, the view was wonderful and the sky was clear so we could see the shining stars. Next day, I was exhausted but we did 20 km more. My friend advised me not to look down when we were walking. Luckily, I didn’t do it though I felt nervous.

The following days, I started to enjoy the trip. The weather helped us to continue walking though the wall of China and we walked 15km through it.

We felt bad, but we finally walked the last 15 km. Weather didn’t help us and we didn’t have any supplies, so it was terrible. When we arrived to the end of the walk and the organiser carry us to a hospital.

After it all was over, I really was amazed about the trip because we could help and collect funds for the Hospital.

That day, my life changed forever. I'm a doctor at Trinidad Hospital and one day I was walking along halls and I saw an advertisement about a walking to collect founds for a China hospital, or it would close .That was when with some doctors we realised that we need to help.

Luckily we could go and have a 6- day trip to the Great wall of China, but unfortunately in the middle we had no supplies so we decided to ask for help to native people. The problem was, that we couldn’t understand them because they spoke Chinese. Fortunately one of them saw that we couldn’t understand what they were saying, and told us that he knew how to speak English, so he carried us to his tribe and brought us some food and water.
After that he told us that he could join us in our walking through the end of our trip.

Finally we arrived to the end and count the donations, they had collected $100.000 for the hospital. They were very happy to found the solution to the hospital problems and that’s how they save the Chinese hospital.

The end.

That day, my life changed forever. It all began when I saw an advertisement from the local children's hospital asking for volunteers for taking part in a six-day walk along 90km of the Great Wall of China to raise money. I thought that joining the cause was a great idea since I had been trying to stay in shape. As soon as I got there, I saw a lot of volunteers from all ages.
During the fourth day, we had to stop the walk because an old man was trying to jump from the wall. Altough a lot of people tried to stop him from doing it, he didn't listen and jumped anyway. While one of the guides called the rescue team, we all looked for the old man from where we were. Then, when the rescue team arrived, they threw ropes all over the wall and started the search inside the forest that surrounded the wall, where they expected to find the old man.
Altough we were told to go back, I got together with a nurse from the hospital and we stole some ropes and secretly followed the rescue team. It felt risky and dangerous, but at the same time I felt that we were doing the right thing.
As we started following the ropes we could find the old man trapped in a hole, he was so scared that he started to scream for help, fortunately the rescue team arrived on time and saved the old man from a horrible ending.
Finally, we got back and raised the funds for the hospital.
it is an experience that I will never forget!

Dear sir or madam

My name is Melisa and I am the secretary of the college Science Club. I am writing to ask for some information because I am interested in organising a group visit.


I wonder if you could tell me if it is necessary the booking for groups and how much time in advance we need for it. I would also like to know if there is available a picnic space or a snack bar because we will be coming for the whole day.


Our group is quite large so I would like to know if there is any limit of students because we are 70 people. I wonder if there is any discount for a numerous group.

I look forward to hearing for your answer.

Melisa
