Dear Year 5 kids,

And before we knew it, we were walking around the masterpieces of architecture (建筑杰作). We sent back postcards from all seven places. Click on any of these seven locations on the map below to find out what we saw. This year’s Year 5 kids may find it very useful! So, get exploring and discover ...

Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.
I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.
At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!
The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.
The underlined word “Castle” in the first paragraph means _____.

“Casa Grande” is _____ the other three ones at Hearst Castle.

 There are _____ at Hearst Castle.

 _____ made Mr. Hearst build this wonderful castle.

 Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

Changbai Mountain is in Jilin Province. It’s said to be the most beautiful mountain in the northeast of China. Its name, Changbai, means “ever white” in Chinese, and its whiteness is because of the pumice stones(浮石). You can get there by train or by bus.
Here are some tips for you if you want to visit it:
1. From November to April, heavy snow covers(覆盖) the area. August is the best time to visit it.
