Unit 1 Cultural relics Using language What is a fact? What is an opinion? Can you give a definition to them? (using attributive clause) After the Amber Room was lost, what really happened to it remains a mystery. Many people say what they know about it. Buried somewhere? Burnt / destroyed during the war? Hidden in a place? Is what sb said a fact or an opinion? Why? Part A: Hans Braun’s story On our voyage, our ship was attacked and sank. Almost everyone died. I had to swim three kilometers before I was saved by a German ship. Nobody had time to save the boxes. They must still be buried in the sand. Now a group of people who are searching for the Amber Room have asked me to help them find the ship. Part B: Anna Petroy’s story Hello, my name is Anna Petrov. I was a maid at the castle in Konigsberg between 1940 and 1945. One night in 1941 many trucks came to the castle with large boxes. The German soldiers took the boxes into the castle. Later we heard that a special art treasure in the castle was shown to important visitors. Perhaps it was the Amber Room but I never saw it. Then at the end of August, 1944, I heard something explode. When I looked outside I saw that the castle was on fire. The next morning I found some melted pieces of something that looked like honey. Russian soldiers later told me it was amber and it could have come from the Amber Room. 2. prove: vt 证明, 证实 (1) prove +n. / pron  Can you prove your courage to us?
