[01:23.07]where visitors can look at the pictures of the inside of the house.
[01:28.53]2 We are standing in front of the Sunshine temple.

[03:12.78]and try to use more buses.
[03:16.86]READING A CITY OF HEROES
[03:24.51]Where there is a river,there is a city.
[03:29.06]Perhaps this is not always true,
[03:33.13]but it is true that many of the world's greatest cities
[03:38.38]have been built on the banks of a river.
[03:42.46]The Neva River flows through the centre of St Peterburg in Russia.
[03:48.83]Three hundred years ago,the Russian Czar Peter the Great came here
[03:55.49]and built a new capital--St Petersburg Peter the Great,
[04:02.26]like his country,was strong and proud.
[04:06.70]Many great palaces were built during his lifetime⁴.
[04:11.56]The palaces were large and beautiful,
[04:15.71]and they often looked like something out of a fairy tale.
[04:20.68]St Petersburg has also been the centre of many important events in history.
[04:27.05]In 1941,the Germans tried to destroy the city.
[04:32.90]It was under attack for 900 days,but the people of the city never gave in.
[04:40.27]The Germans burned many of the palaces as they left.
[04:45.23]St Petersburg was almost in ruins:fires burned everywhere.
[04:51.89]Buildings were destroyed, and paintings and statues lay in pieces on the ground.
[04:59.26]Restoring the city and its cultural relics⁵ seemed impossible,
[05:05.14]but the people of this great city would not give up,
[05:10.00]"We will not let our history and culture be destroyed,
[05:15.04]and we will do everything we can to save our city!"
[05:20.21]When the Nazis⁶ had gone,the people of St Petersburg began rebuilding the city.
[05:27.26]Pieces of the palaces that had been hidden before the Nazis came
[05:33.14]could now be used to rebuild the city and its culture.
[05:38.70]It was not easy.

[05:41.76]Painters and workers had to be very careful when they were trying to bring the  city back to life.
[05:49.20]It was difficult to save the palaces
[05:53.46]and buildings without destroying their old beauty.
[05:58.32]With the help of old paintings and photographs,
[06:02.76]the people of St Petersburg were able to bring back the beauty of their culture
[06:09.11]and history.Now,after years of hard work,
[06:15.64]parts of statues have been put back together
[06:20.32]and missing⁷ pieces have been replaced.
[06:24.86]Old paintings, including a portrait⁸ of Peter the  Great
[06:30.61]which was found in the snow outside St Petersburg,
[06:35.96]have been carefully recreated,
[06:40.22]and the old palaces have been made as wonderful as in the past.
[06:46.18]today Peter the Great on his bronze⁹ horse
[06:51.53]can once again look out over the city he built.
[06:56.39]Like their hero Peter,
[06:59.74]the people of St Peterburg have shown that dreams can come true.
[07:05.69]Strong,proud and united¹⁰
[07:09.84]the people of St  Petersburg are the modern heroes of Russia.
[07:16.01]INTEGRATING SKILLS
[07:22.25]Reading and writing Dear Editor,
[07:27.84]I live in Paris,France.
[07:31.89]In my country there is a famous site,called the Chauvet Caves.
[07:38.87]I am very worried about it
[07:42.42]because some of the cave paintings have been destroyed by air pollution.
[07:48.77]No,the pollution does not come from cars or factories, but from human beings.
[07:57.31]Thouands of tourists visit the caves every year.
[08:02.66]The carbon¹¹ dioxide¹² from their breath¹³ is damaging the paintings.
[08:08.93]I think one way to solve the problem
[08:13.66]is to put glass walls in front of the paintings Second,
[08:20.51]the number of visitors should be limited.
[08:24.87]And we should build a website where people can look at the pictures and paintings
[08:32.24]Yours sincerely,Sophie
