Gang robs Zurich of top paintings

 

Dear students,

In Lesson 1, we’ll learn about the great artist Leonardo da Vinci and his world-famous work— the Mona Lisa. Recently, an armed gang stole four paintings worth some $160m by Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh and Monet from a museum in Zurich. Read the new “Gang Robs Zurich of Top Paintings” in BBC and give your comments. Or you can adopt the point of view of the police spokesperson, the detective in charge, or an art lover and talk to the press, the theives, or your fellow art lover.
