Did you know that there are over 600,000 words in English? That's a lot of words, and far more than any human being could ever manage to learn. Even Shakespeare only used around 55,000 different words in all of his works. Mind you, he did actually invent quite a few of them. To get a good mastery of English, you do need to expand your vocabulary as much as possible. The more words you know, the better your English will be. The Activities here will help you to quickly develop your vocabulary.

The ancient city of Athens, located in Greece, was one of the largest and most influential cities in the world during its time. Known for its rich cultural heritage and history, Athens was the birthplace of democracy and home to famous philosophers such as Socrates and Plato. These philosophers helped shape the Western world's ideas about politics, ethics, and philosophy. Athens was also renowned for its magnificent architecture, including the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. This iconic structure stands atop the Acropolis, a hill that serves as a symbol of the city's ancient past. The Parthenon, along with the many other ancient buildings and monuments in Athens, continues to draw millions of tourists from around the world each year. In addition to its cultural and historical significance, Athens was also an important centre of commerce and trade in ancient times. The city's port, Piraeus, was one of the busiest in the ancient world, connecting Athens to other major cities throughout the Mediterranean. This allowed for the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures, further contributing to the city's prosperity and influence. The city's glory, however, was not to last. Athens went through a period of decline due to civil unrest and eventually lost its position as a major player on the world stage. Nevertheless, the legacy of Athens continues to be felt to this day. Its contributions to Western civilization and its rich cultural heritage have made Athens one of the most fascinating and important cities in the world. Visitors to Athens today can still see many of the ancient structures and monuments that remain, including the Parthenon and the Acropolis, as well as many museums and cultural institutions that showcase the city's rich history and heritage. Whether you're a student of history, an admirer of ancient architecture, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and significance of a place steeped in culture and tradition, Athens is definitely worth a visit.
