Trip on Freedom Trail

This week, we have been to one of the most famous tourist attractions in boston as well as one of the most important part of American history. Even though the weather was so hot that day, we still had much fun, and at the same time, we have learned so many things about American history. The first place is called the Boston Common. It is America's oldest park and used to be the grazing gound for livesock such as cows and sheep. Then we went to Park Street Church, which played a very important role in protecting and promoting human rights and social justice in old days. It was built in 1809 and still used today. We then passed through Granary Burying Ground, King's Chapel and King's Chapel Burying Ground and Boston Latin School. Boston Latin School made a special impression for me. Not only because it was the oldest public school in this country, but also Bejemin Franclin, who is my most admiring person in American history. I was supposed to give a presentation for The Old North Church; however, unfortunately, we didn't have enought time to go through that far. But in short, it is a great trip, and I cannot wait to have my next feild trip on next friday!
