[00:43.99]On the right,there is a large stone elephant.The main building is in the centre.

[00:52.06]Why is the site so important?

[00:56.01]This site is important because it tells us about how people lived in the past.

[01:02.85]What steps have been taken to protect the site?

[01:07.40]Visitors are not allowed to go inside the house.

[01:12.75]Insead they can walk around the house,and look at the park behind it.

[01:19.31]There is also a small museum

[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.

[01:34.41]This beautiful temple stands between a lake and the mountain.

[01:39.66]The temple is an important part of history.

[01:44.23]Many important things happened here.

[01:48.07]And many poems had been written about a temple.

[01:52.82]Water from the lake had distoried the temple.

[01:57.19]We are trying to save the temple

[02:00.95]by building a wall between the lake and the temple.

[02:05.70]We've also moved some of things in the temple to the new museum

[02:11.58]that is being built between the mountain and the village.

[02:16.86]3 Mount 2 Leshan is one of the most beautiful places in China.

[02:29.34]And many great leaders have lived here.

[02:46.82]one of the biggest in Leshan.

[02:50.66]Between the lake and village is the Moon Tower

[02:55.52]where people can go look at the moon and the stars at night.

[03:01.08]There are too many cars in Leshan and the air is becoming polluted 3.

[03:07.74]We're trying to limited the number of cars on the mountain

[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 lifetime 4.

[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 relics 5 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 Nazis 6 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 missing 7 pieces have been replaced.

[06:24.86]Old paintings, including a portrait 8 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 bronze 9 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 united 10

[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 carbon 11 dioxide 12 from their breath 13 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
