However, when one goes around what used to be the World Trade Centre, there is nothing to see, except the wide emptiness. Then, when the eyes have adjusted to what they are looking at, one begins to notice what is around. Suddenly there are the firefighters, the waiting ambulance on the other side of the pit, the police on every corner. Suddenly there is the enormous cross made of two rusted girders. Suddenly there is the little cemetery attached to a nearby chapel. The fence is a welter of wreaths, poems and photographs, and American flags everywhere. So, what is not there becomes visible and absence begins to assume a material form. So, emptiness becomes meaningful and expressive. What seems to be nothing actually says everything. Writing: Sample essay: Our Library Our library is a two-storey reddish building, resembling very much a traditional Chinese palace. Situated by the side of a huge lake in the north, the library faces south with a spacious square in front of it, in the center of which stands a facsimile of August Rodin’s sculpture The Thinker. To its east and west are well-trimmed gardens full of various kinds of plants and flowers with wooden benches amidst them. One would naturally associate the site with the Summer Palace in Beijing.
