I have lived in my apartment for five years, but it is much older than that. The building that my apartment is in was built over 100 years ago. It was designed by a famous architect who also designed many other buildings in the city. It was created for a local businessman who wanted his own building. It was used by his family for about 50 years. Then, it was sold and it was made into lots of smaller apartments.

Last month a class of secondary school students (1) was given a half-day holiday by their school after their exams. Two of the students went for a walk but it (2) started to rain, so they went into a second-hand shop to keep dry. All kinds of old furniture (3) left were around the shop. There were bowls and plates everywhere and old photographs and paintings (4) were pushed under tables. The students (5) decided to look at the pictures to pass the time. Most of them (6) were covered in dust. Then one of the students (7) noticed a small picture which (8) was hidden almost behind a cupboard. It (9) was shown a vase of flowers which (10) was painted in great detail. The picture (11) didn't sign but the shop owner thought it (12) was probably painted about fifty years ago. The students (13) were paid £5 for it and (14) took it away. Later they (15) was discovered it was five hundred years old. It (16) was sold by a gallery in London last week for one million pounds!
