Berlin is the capital of Germany. It is famous for its beautiful scenes and complex history.

In the August of 1961, Berlin was divided into two parts: East Berlin and West Berlin. The Communist Government of the east built a 100-mile long Berlin Wall. On October 3,1990, the east and the west unified again. The Berlin Wall was pushed over. A few sections of the wall were left to remind the 28-year division of the city.

Another famous building is the Victory Column. It is 61.5m high and on the top of the column, the victory goddess stands there.

There are many museums in Berlin. Seven of them are on Museum Island and a few are in the city. The Checkpoint Charlie Museum is one of the most visited museums. There are a lot of pictures on display to show the history and real life of people before the Wall was pushed over. There is a Jewish Museum in Berlin.

The parks, the Brandenburger Door, Gendermen Yard and the streets are very beautiful. In the zoo, we even can visit several giant pandas that come from China!

柏林是德國(guó)的首都，它以歷史復(fù)雜，景色優(yōu)美而著稱。

1961年8月，柏林被分為東柏林和西柏林。東柏林的共產(chǎn)黨政府在分界處筑起一道100英里的城墻。1990年10月3日，東德和西德統(tǒng)一，柏林墻被推倒，只留下幾段作為28年分裂的紀(jì)念。

另一處有名的建筑是勝利女神柱。勝利女神高高矗立在61.5米高的柱上，俯瞰著這座城市。

柏林有許多的博物館。博物館島上云集了7個(gè)，市區(qū)里還有幾個(gè)。柏林墻博物館是游人最多的一個(gè)。那里陳列著許多照片，展示了柏林墻被推倒之前的歷史和人們的生活。在柏林還有一個(gè)猶太人博物館。

博蘭登堡門、尚達(dá)門場(chǎng)、柏林的公園和寬闊的大街都十分美麗。在動(dòng)物園里，人們甚至還能見到來自中國(guó)的大熊貓！
