宋 薇;; Word tips; Guiding Questions;Poland is a nation steeped in history, a country renowned for its remarkable achievements and geographical diversity, from crystal lakes to city streets, from rolling hills to rugged peaks. This vibrant land of legends and palaces, of panoramic beauty and friendly people, brims with cultural treasures. Warsaw has been the capital of Poland since 1596, and is a modern lively city hums with activity. There is so much to see in Warsaw. Time moves at different pace in the historical old town which exudes a spirit of relaxation and ease. Even though the Second World War left Warsaw in ruins, history was literally raised from ashes as Poles painstakingly rebuilt and restored their capital. Now their proud heritage can be seen throughout the city in the landmark buildings, squares and streets. The many inviting cafés of old town proved too tempting to resist and we indulged in our first delicious Polish dessert. The royal castle was once the residence of Polish kings. It was obliterated but has been completely reconstructed. In 1984, renovations on this majestic edifice were finished and it was reopened to the public. Some of the original decorations from the castle did survive the war such as these beautiful and priceless paintings. Many galleries and museums which display a variety of artworks can be found in Warsaw. The Zapicek gallery houses an intriguing collection of modern sculptures. ;Warsaw is a thriving center of business and a major international traffic junction. A new subway system is a typically convenient way to get around. The historical royal route leads into the picturesque greenery of Lazienki Park which is surrounded by water and colorful lush foliage. Every Sunday during summer, this park features absorbing concerts from Poland’s most famous composer, Fryderyk Chopin. The scenic setting of the park compliments the stirring sounds of Chopin’s music.; Guiding Questions; Guiding Questions; Guiding Questions; Guiding
