Read the following text and mark the statements as T (true), F (false) or DS (doesn’t say).

Since school is the place where you spend a good part of your day, it’s a good idea to have a few rules regarding classroom etiquette in mind.

To begin with, it’s always nice to greet your teacher and the other students when you walk into the classroom. If you go to class after the lesson has already started, it’s polite to apologise to your teacher. During the lesson, you need to respect your classmates, as well as your teacher. That means you should pay attention to others when they’re speaking to the whole class, and you shouldn’t talk to those next to you while the teacher is trying to explain something. Of course, all this doesn’t mean that the classroom environment needs to be strict and boring. Your teacher will certainly appreciate it if you have something funny to share with the rest of the class. Also, if you have any fresh and creative ideas about a class project or trip, your teacher will be more than willing to hear about them. After all, teachers run out of ideas too! Remember, teachers were once students themselves, and they know very well that every now and then, the class needs to do something different from their usual routine and, above all, they know that learning should be fun!

1. You should never talk when entering the class. .......

2. If you are late, you need to bring a note from your parents. .......

3. You should never talk in the classroom. .......

4. It’s OK to tell a joke in the classroom. .......

5. You should feel free to make any suggestions related to school matters to your teacher. .......

A Symbol of Paris

Being one of the most popular sites in the world, the Eiffel Tower attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. In fact, the structure, received its two hundredth millionth guest in 2002. Located on the Champs de Mars by the Seine River, visitors can make their way to the top and admire the breathtaking view of Paris. The Tower was the inspiration of French engineer Gustave Eiffel. A very famous personality in his time, Eiffel had also done important work for the internal structure of another famous monument, the Statue of Liberty in the USA. Work on the Eiffel Tower began in 1887 and lasted until 1889, when the building was opened to the public during the Paris World Exposition. Until 1930 and the construction of the Chrysler Building in New York, the Tower remained the highest structure in the world.

Many people, especially artists, criticised the structure saying that this distasteful structure did not fit in with the beauty of Paris. One of these critics was French writer Guy de Maupassant, who ate at one of the tower’s restaurants almost everyday, because it was the only place in Paris from where the tower was not visible, and so he wouldn’t have to see it! A lot of effort and money go into keeping the Tower in good condition. Every seven years, sixty metric tons of paint are used to repaint it. Different shades of the same colour are used on the top and darker ones on the bottom in order for the building to have an unvarying appearance.

1. Over two hundred million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.  

2. Gustave Eiffel also built the Statue of Liberty. .......

3. It took five years to complete the Eiffel Tower.

4. Guy de Maupassant didn’t like the Eiffel Tower.

5. Different colours are used to repaint the Eiffel Tower.
