| On my first trip in the United States, I went to San Antonio. I was on foot. So I went to only three places there: the Alamo, the River Walk, and the Art Gallery. I especially enjoyed visiting the Alamo, a well- known building in America. When I arrived at the Alamo, I was deeply impressed because it was well kept and in good shape. The Alamo was erected in about 1722, was later used as a fort (保垒), and has been kept as a state monument (纪念馆) to the Texan War of Independence against Mexico. During the battle, all of the Texan defenders were killed. I was surprised at the exhibition of rifles, guns, cannons and swords. I was especially attracted by the paintings of a war. The paintings expressed the feelings of a painter very well. Even though about 160 years have passed since the Battle of the Alamo, the exhibit is well kept. When I came out after seeing the exhibition, I felt as if I had a victory. The outer wall of the Alamo was destroyed here and there. When I touched the wall, I could feel the damage. After the war, little remained of the Alamo. All of the windows and doors were destroyed. The top part of the gate way disappeared without a trace (遗 迹). I will remember the Alamo forever. It is one of the best places to visit in San Antonio. |
