Frederick William \u2160\uff0cthe King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make .
In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick \u2160. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William \u2160,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors .
Later,Catherine \u2161 had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing .
In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery .
Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city .

THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH
At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people speak English. Nearly all of them lived in England. In the next century, people from England started moving to other parts of the world, so English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before. China may have the largest number of English speakers.
Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don\u2019t speak the same kind of English. However, they may not be able to understand everything. For example, a British person may say to her friends, \u201cWould you please come up to my flat for a visit?\u201d One of her American friends may then ask her, \u201cCome up where?\u201d Her Canadian friend might explain, \u201cShe means we should come up to her apartment.\u201d
So why has English changed over time? All language changes when cultures communicate with one another. The English spoken between about 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. Actually, it was based more on German than present day English. Then from about 1150 to 1500 English change even more. It became less like German, and more like French because those who ruled England at that time spoke French. It became closer to the language you are learning now. In the 1600\u2019s, Shakespeare made use of a wider vocabulary than ever before, one big change in English usage happened Noah Webster wrote the American Dictionary of the English Language, giving American English its own identity. Later, when some British people went to Australia, English began to be spoken there. Now Australian English has its own identity.
English is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. India has a very large number of English speakers. This is because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time, English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in many other countries of Africa and Asia, such as South Africa, Singapore and Malaysia. In China, English has been used in Hong Kong since about 1842. Today the number of people learning English is increasing rapidly.. Will Chinese English become one of the world Englishes? Only time will tell.
