[00:01.120] --- Lesson 93 A noble gift
[00:06.960] --- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.560] --- Where was the Statue of Liberty made?
[00:18.280] One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France.
[00:32.280] The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete.
[00:44.040] The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel.
[00:55.880] Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built.
[01:06.920] The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour.
[01:13.280] By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris.
[01:23.240] The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America.
[01:30.000] By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi.
[01:42.120] Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.
