Los Angeles, California is the most exciting city in the USA. It’s got Hollywood, Disneyland,

It’s always sunny in LA and there are lots of different attractions. You can go shopping on Sunset

The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, France. It was constructed between 1887 and
1889 to be the entranceway to the 1889 World’s Fair and to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the French Revolution. The Tower was opened to visitors on May
6,1889.

Gustave Eiffel’s design was chosen from among 107 that were submitted to the
World’s Fair design competition. However, many Parisians, especially artists, did
not like his design and protested the tower’s construction. They thought it would be
an eyesore, but once it was built, most Parisians soon loved the tower.

The tower is made of iron and weights over 10,000 tons. It is 324 meters tall,
including antenna at its top, and has a staircase with 1,665 steps. There are also elevators to take visitors
to the top platform where there is a panoramic view of Paris. The original elevators, now computerized,
are still in use. Over 60 tons of paint are applied to the tower every seven years to keep it from rusting.

The Eiffel Tower has become a symbol of Paris. It is the most recognized monument in Europe, and
many people think it is an architectural masterpiece. Over 250 million people have visited it since May of
1889.

The home of the future

When you’re out of the house, is the fridge on the phone to the supermarket? Is

the heating system having a word with the bath? And when you get back home,
does the doorknob recognise you and say hello? Probably not, but in the house
of the future all this - and more - is possible.

Researchers say that technology will transform your home in ways you can
only dream about. Nanotechnology will play an important role. It will clean
your windows. Intelligent spoons will check how hot or cold your soup is and the walls will sense if
anyone is in your garden.

The next generation of fridges will use the Internet to make sure your food stays fresh and they’ll get
in touch with the supermarket to order some more and you’ll never run out of milk again.

When you are on the way home and feel like a warm bath, all you have to do is sending a text
message to the heating system. The heating system warms the water and even runs the bath so that as
soon as you walk through the front door, you can jump in and relax.

Welcome to the smart home of the future!

Green Cities

What makes a city green? It’s a huge challenge for cities to be earth-friendly. Not only do they have
lots of people, buildings, traffic, trash, and air pollution, but they also consume more than half of the
world’s energy.

Many cities in the world have taken up the challenge to be earth-friendly. Look at what some of these
cities have done:

Reykjavik, Iceland, is run entirely on green energy. Its transit system uses hydrogen buses and most
of its buildings use non-polluting energy sources like geothermal and hydroelectricity.

Malmo and Stockholm in Sweden are noted for their green spaces and parks and for successfully
cleaning up their water and air.

Portland, Oregon, was one of the first American cities to focus on earth-friendly transit with light-rail
and bike paths to encourage people to leave their cars at home.

Curitiba, Brazil, uses unique green methods for maintenance. Their grass parks are trimmed by sheep!
Deforestation is one of them. We should plant more trees.

Have you any problem? Is smoke responsible for air pollution?
How can we prevent air pollution? what is the cause of air pollution?

</div>
(48)<div class='page_container' data-page=48>

2. How much of the world’s energy is consumed by cities?

TEEN LIFE IN THE FUTURE

What will life for teenagers be like in the year 2030? For the start, computers will be everywhere and
they will do everything for us.

We won’t have alarm clocks in the future. A picture in your bedroom will become a computer screen
and it’ll wake you up and say hello. You’ll walk into the kitchen and the toaster and coffee machine will
recognise your voice and automatically make you your breakfast.

Your computer will remind you to do your homework. You won’t need a backpack, because all your
text books will be digital and they’ll be on one e-reader.

In your classroom, the top of your desk will become a computer screen. You’ll touch the screen to
connect to the Internet, but you won’t be able to send or receive personal messages.

You won’t have to go to the shopping centre to buy your clothes. You’ll buy a sweater online and it’ll
be right size because a computer will scan your body.

Everyone will have a touch screen phone with GPS, so you’ll never get lost. The bad news is that
your parents will use the GPS to know exactly where you are!

1. Life in the future will be better and more convenient.
2. A robot will make your breakfast every morning.

3. Students won’t have to do their homework because their computer will do it.
4. There will be no more textbooks in classes.
