The first skyscrapers
The term “skyscraper” has been used in a number of ways over the years: an ornament on the top of a building, a high-flying bird, a very tall man and a sail at the top of a mast At the end of the nineteenth century, the word was used to refer to buildings of ten storeys or more Later, a lift was used to take people up to the higher floor, as in the most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building
During the middle ages, the people who lived in the cities of Northern Europe began to build great cathedrals Tall spires were added to make these churches higher and bring them closer to heaven
In the nineteenth century, as cities grew more crowded with people looking for work the value of land rose New businesses were starting and in order to make room for offices on a small plot of land, it was necessary to build higher But the problem was that to put up a stone building of such height, the walls on the ground floor would have to be more than two metres thick to hold the weight of the building So another material was required to make skyscraper possible
About this time, three buildings were put up that used iron or steel to support great weight with safety They were the Crystal Palace in London, the Eifel Tower in Paris and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York From then on, architects started to experiment with buildings that had steel frames Today, the tallest skyscrapers are a hundred storeys or more, compared to the first
10 storeys skyscrapers, which seem tiny

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present Both Jill and I have always
wanted to go to France and visit the many museums We were so shocked when we
first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have
hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful!
The only trouble is trying to decide where to go I want to go to the museums, but
Jill wants to see some of the beautiful traditional churches In the end, we decided to
see the churches in the morning (when the weather is cool), and the museums in the
afternoon (because they’re air-conditioned) This allows us to get the most
sightseeing done during our two-week stay There are many coffee shops, too Jill
likes sitting outside and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy
the smell of the coffee French coffees are so much more aromatic and stronger than
the coffee we are used to back home Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a
postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it It is a picture of the
Eiffel Tower
