-> The Eiffel Tower
IV. Read and choose the correct answers.
The Eiffel Tower is a very famous tower in Paris, France. It was named after the engineer who designed and built it, Alexander Eiffel. The tower was built in 1889.
Alexander Eiffel was asked to build the tower when France decided to have a big fair to exhibit its goods and wares. The tower was to be located in the middle of the fair as a special attraction. So, Eiffel designed the tower and soon began to build it, using iron beams and bolts. When the structure first started to take shape, the people of France did not like it. They thought it looked like a giant skeleton and was not attractive at all. However, when the tower was finally completed and lighted up at night, the people quickly changed their minds. It was an enchanting sight and looked like a tower made of lace.
The Eiffel Tower is sometimes considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world. It is 300 meters high and people can take an elevator all the way to the top. From the tower, they can get a marvelous view of the city and the River Seine which runs through it. Besides the elevator, there are steps which lead all the way up the tower. For those who are energetic, they can use these to climb up. It is very windy at the top of the tower and can be very cold at times because it is only built by iron beams. There are no walls to keep the wind out.

Eiffel nằm ở Paris, Pháp. Nó được xây dựng từ năm 1887 đến năm 1889 để làm lối vào Hội chợ Thế giới 1889 và kỷ niệm 100 năm Cách mạng Pháp. Tháp được mở cửa cho khách tham quan vào ngày 6.1889.
Thiết kế của Gustave Eiffel đã được chọn trong số 107 thiết kế đã được gửi đến cuộc thi thiết kế Công bằng của Thế giới. Tuy nhiên, nhiều người dân Paris, đặc biệt là các nghệ sĩ, không thích thiết kế của ông và phản đối việc xây dựng tháp. Họ nghĩ rằng nó sẽ chướng mắt, nhưng một khi nó được xây dựng, hầu hết người dân Paris đã sớm yêu thích tòa tháp.
Tháp được làm bằng sắt và nặng hơn 10.000 tấn. Nó cao 324 mét, bao gồm cả ăng-ten trên đỉnh và có cầu thang với 1.665 bậc. Ngoài ra còn có thang máy để đưa du khách lên sân ga trên cùng, nơi có thể nhìn toàn cảnh Paris. Các thang máy ban đầu, bây giờ được vi tính hóa, vẫn được sử dụng. Hơn 60 tấn sơn được quét lên tháp cứ bảy năm một lần để giữ cho tháp không bị gỉ.
Tháp Eiffel đã trở thành biểu tượng của Paris. Đây là di tích được công nhận nhiều nhất ở Châu Âu, và nhiều người cho rằng nó là một kiệt tác kiến trúc. Hơn 250 triệu người đã đến thăm nó kể từ tháng 5 năm 1889.
Tháp Eiffel được mở cửa cho công chúng vào ngày 6 tháng 5 năm 1889.
