It was Friday. My friend Kate invited me to her birthday party. I
thought it was a good idea to do some shopping and buy Kate a present in
the CLOSEd department store. I knew that her husband Paul had BaUght her a
beautiful ring.He was sure she LIKEd it. Museums There are many
beautiful museums in Greece. A few months ago one of the most striking
museums in the world OPENed in Athens. It's the New Archaelogical Museum
of Athens. The museum EXHIBITs ancient objects from the Acropolis and is
an excellent international reference point for people interested in the
classics. While they were EXCAVATing to build the museum, archaeologists found
some remains of ancient Athens. If a foreigner COMEs to Athens, he is
sure to visit the New Archaelogical Museum of Athens. Buckingham Palace Londoners
have a love-hate relationship with Buckingham Palace. To some, the
Queen's home is ugly, but it's also held in esteem as the symbol of
Britain's ROYALity. The palace arose within a mulberry grove in the early
18th century as a mansion for the POWERful Duke of Buckingham. It was
purchased in 1761 by George III for his wife Queen Charlotte (he
preferred to live in St James's Palace). However, it wasn't LUXURious
enough for George IV.
