English Test 6th Year

Read the text attentively:

This was Marie Tussaud but her real name was Anna Marie Tussaud. Later she
was known as Madame Tussaud.
Marie wasnt British. She was from France. She was born in Strasbourg, on
December 1st 1761 and died in London, on April 16th 1850, at the age of 88. Marie
Tussaud worked as an assistant to Doctor Philippe Curtius, who was a wax modeller. Her
first wax figure was Jean-Jacques Rosseau, a famous philosopher, in 1778.
The museum Madame Tussaud is one of the greatest attractions of
London. It was founded one hundred and seventy seven years ago, in 1835.
This is not a typical museum. It is a museum where you can see many wax
figures from the past and famous people of today. Marie Tussaud was the
founder of this special museum. When she was young, Marie Tussaud
learned how to make figures from wax and soon she was famous because of
that. Her first museum was on Baker Street, in London. Her first figures were figures representing the
victims of the French revolution. You can see these figures in the Chamber of Horrors. The museum is
open every day, from 9:00 to 5:30.
Today's wax figures at Tussaud include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and
famous murderers. There are wax figures of the Royal Family, Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, Justin
Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Albert Einstein, Barack Obama and many more!
Now, you can visit Madam Tussaud in thirteen cities: Amsterdam, Bangkok, Berlin, Blackpool,
Hollywood, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, New York, Shanghai, Sydney, Vienna and Washington DC.
