A long time ago men learnt how to make structures with walls and roofs to protect themselves from bad weather and wild animals These ancient structures were quite primitive and very different from modern buildings Still, they gave people shelter and comfort which they needed Now there are many types of buildings in the world They vary in size shape and function There are several factors which influence the construction of a building Firstly, builders need to consider which building materials are available or suit better Secondly, they must know what a building is going to be used for Moreover, they should think about land prices and climate in the area where they are going to construct a building It is not a very good idea to build a house with big windows in the north or construct a lot of detached houses in the city center where land is very expensive

People use paper every day Still, few of us think about where and how it was invented In the past people used various plants to write It could be bamboo or rice They also had animal skins to write Paper was invented in China many centuries ago It was thin and made from vegetable fiber or old cloth The technology of producing paper moved from China to Japan Then it moved to Korea where they usually made it from tree bark Only much later the invention spread to Middle East As the legend goes the secret of making paper was obtained from two prisoners of war Then the first paper mills were founded Both Spain and Italy claim to be the first to manufacture paper in Europe Until the 19 th century rags were the main ingredient for paper Then people discovered that wood could be pulped and turned into paper

If you are looking for ideas to design your living space think about your friends’ homes which truly inspire you When your visit your friends and family think how you feel in their homes You may find some of them cluttered with too many decorations or being too bold for your style However, even such houses may give you an idea of what you certainly don’t want to have in your flat Understanding how you feel in actual living spaces can help you find out which style you want to bring into your own home If there is a home in particular where you feel comfortable relaxed and rested you should think about what elements of these living spaces you like best and which ones you can copy Moreover, if you have a friend who has a style much like your own ask him or her to help you as you work on your own room design

Education is vital for modern people. Now in most countries one can get education for free. However, it was not like that in the past. In ancient Rome people did not have any formal education. Parents but not schools provided children with knowledge and skills at that time. These could be military, domestic or agricultural skills. Then schools appeared. They were only for boys between 9 and 17 years old who came from wealthy families. Girls could not study there. Roman schools taught writing and speaking skills and poetry. Foreign languages were also very important. Students had to learn some subjects in Greek to help them master this difficult language. Best students got books as a reward from schools. That was a very expensive present as books were very rare at that time. School teachers were deeply respected by the Romans and earned a high salary

If you want to live green you will have to reconsider many aspects of your life. Housecleaning is certainly one of them. We clean our homes on a regular basis but we rarely think about what products we use to do it. Using harmful chemicals to clean is very bad for the environment. When you wash them away you are simply putting them into the global water supply. This means water will have to take more purification before it is safe enough to use it again. The obvious solution is to use natural products like vinegar, lemons and soda which can easily cope with most dirt in your house. When you go shopping for cleaning products make sure they don’t contain any harmful ingredients. Do not forget that some cleaning products may actually be toxic and thus damage your health so check for that as well. This is an easy way to contribute to fighting pollution all over the world

When you are going to design a room it is a good idea to think about the psychology of color. When you plan your space keep in mind that different colors, textures and laycuts can have an impact on the way people feel in your room. Colour in particular can influence people ‘s mood. Red is associated with passion and anger and can even cause headaches. It is a great accent colour for one wall or for a couch or another piece of furniture but some experts suggest that you should not paint an entire room red. Green is associated with calm and rest and is a great colour for living rooms and bedrooms. However, too much green might take the energy out of a room so you should combine it with a bit of red or orange to counteract its calming effects. Blue is also known as a calming and intellectual colour but it can also appear cold unless you choose a blue with a warm base instead of a cool base

Skyscrapers are very tall buildings. They are found in many large, American
cities. Skyscrapers in New York City and Chicago reach more than a 1000 feet
into the sky (304.8 meters), which is about the length of three football
fields. These huge structures are appropriately named "skyscrapers"
because they are so tall that they seem to touch, or "scrape" the sky
and the clouds. On a clear day, you can see a skyscraper from several miles
away
2/6Early
skyscrapers were built with iron, steel, and masonry; modern skyscrapers are
built with steel, concrete, and a lot of glass. Skyscraper construction is
popular in large cities nowadays because land is very valuable. The only
direction for the development of a large building in a busy downtown is up. Skyscrapers
help define a city’s skyline, and they help preserve land for parks and public
plazas.
3The
Empire State Building (right photo) in New York has more than 100 floors. It’s
a very famous building. Tourists enjoy going to the observation deck near the
top of the building. From there, they have a good view of the city. The Empire
State Building was the tallest building in the city until the construction of
the World Trade Center buildings in the 1970s.
4The
tallest skyscraper in the United States is the Sears Tower (renamed the Willis
Tower in 2009) in Chicago, Illinois. The tallest skyscraper in the world is in
Dubai (the Burj Khalifa). It stands at 2,717 feet (828 meters), which is about
the length of eight-and-a-half football fields. Other famous skyscrapers are
Tapei 101 in Taipai, Taiwan, Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the
Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, China

Katie
gets a two-week school vacation. Every year, her school lets out for two weeks
at the end of December and into early January. Some schools call this a
Christmas vacation; others call it a winter break.
The
timing for her break was good because it snowed last week. Katie and her
sister, Cynthia, have been able to go outside every day to play in the snow.
They go sledding and make snowmen.
In
addition to going outside, Katie likes to stay inside and play games with her
friends. They play board games and video games. She also likes to read books.
This
weekend Katie is going to go to a slumber party at a friend’s house and remain
there overnight with eight other girls. Slumber parties are common at this time
of the year because kids don’t have to wake up the next morning for school.
They can stay up late, watch TV, and wake up late the next morning.
