A
I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Towers of Pisa(比萨斜塔). But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower must be the best place to buy pizza in the world.
Many years later, I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza and that the tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid that it may fall over and they don’t want it to lean over the city.
I don’t think it a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It’s 600 years old.Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. It seems to say nothing is perfect. Imperfect things may be more interesting. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy but Pisa tower is the most famous.
