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.

of the future all this – and more – is possible.

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

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?

Vancouver, British Columbia, uses wind, solar, and water energy to generate power. Nearly all of the
city is powered by clean hydroelectricity.
