Egyptian Pyramids
The wonderful Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan and the large
Pyramid of the First Quin King in China are visited by thousands
of people every year. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the
world’s most famous pyramid. It was built in the Sahara Desert
in northern Egypt, and fills an area of 52609 square meters. The bad weather of the
Sahara has actually made the pyramid become smaller 9 meters from its real size.
The pyramid, which was cleaned in 2012, was such a fascinating piece of engineering,
that it was the tallest building in the world for over 4000 years! Most Egyptologists,
people who study Egyptian history, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560
BC, a little more than 5,000 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers 20 years to
make it. The pyramid has over 2.000.000 rock blocks. How heavy are they? Most of the
blocks are 2000 or 3000 kilograms.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built from orders by the King Khufu for dead kings. His
closest friend, Hemon, was the pyramid’s architect. The Great pyramid is part of the
three pyramids at Giza, and it is the largest and tallest. The other ones are the Pyramid

The hamburger
There is controversy
over the origin of the
hamburger. The book
“The hamburger: A
history” by Josh
Ozersky says it is
German. However,
where the inventor of
the hamburger is
from is still not clear.
It could be Charlie
Nagreen, who sold
meatballs between
two pieces of soft
bread in 1885. Or
maybe Frank
Menches, from Ohio,
who sold a sandwich
made of meat and
soft bread in
Hamburg, N.Y. In
1885. Another
possible inventor
was Louis Lassen,
from Connecticut,
who served some
meat pieces
between two slices of toast in 1900. There was
also Fletcher David, a Texan who sold a meat
sandwich with soft bread in a world exhibition
in 1904.
However, meat and bread –like today’s
hamburger– were more common in Hamburg.
Germany, in the nineteenth century. It was
called a Hamburg steak and was and everyday
dish for the German immigrants that left
Hamburg for the United States. Anyone could
prepare it, and they could eat it while standing
up or walking.

brown, but science has not found out why they have their lovely color. We guess
they become pinker when they are excited, as happens to us when we´re mad.
River dolphins, like the ones in Southeast Asia or in La Plata River, are clever;
however, the pink dolphins in the Amazon are the cleverest, but not as much as
dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Pink dolphins make sounds to show they enjoy being
close to people; some stories of people close to the river being pushed by them
are popular in the Amazon. If a pink dolphin dies, people think something bad may
happen. However, if this happens, they will use the dead animal’s oil to help other
animals with health problems like infections, but they won’t use the meat.
Unfortunately, river dolphins have died as we have built new towns around their
area and changed the rain forests. Also, they are caught with other animals to be
shown in aquariums.

Effective communication
Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in life is due to our communication
skills. That means that no matter how brilliant, how responsible, or how highly educated someone is,
they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop the right communication skills.
The good news is that anyone can develop good communication skills. And it’s encouraging to
know that even small improvements in your ability to connect with others will have a deep effect on
the quality of your life and business.
Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your conversation partner is talking.
Instead, listen to every word they say and reply as properly and smoothly as possible. This shows
people that you are interested in what they have to say and you are fully engaged in the moment with
them. Also, make sure to ask questions whenever there’s something they say that you don’t quite
understand. This will help correct any mistake in the communication.
Effective communication requires a set of skills including body language, eye contact, engaged
listening, managing stress in the moment, the ability to communicate confidently, and to recognize
and understand your own emotions and those of the person you’re communicating with. It is the
connection that helps you solve problems, improve teamwork, and make decisions. It allows you to
transfer even negative or difficult messages without creating disagreement.
These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have been available otherwise.
Besides, you will make people feel more confident to express their thoughts. And finally, you will
reduce stress, deal with challenging situations, and build better relationships at home and work.
96. What would be one advantage of taking into account the opinions of others?
Why should you attend? You will learn Why should you attend? You will reach

It’s February and London Fashion Week has just ended. Fashion shows have been
happening around the city. Magazines are full of chats about who the model of the
moment is. Superstars and journalists have announced what the best dressed will be
wearing in the coming seasons. Clearly, clothes can make you happy. I have
decided that tomorrow I will ‘dress for success’.
At 7.30 AM, I remember my promise. I decide that dressing for success means more than putting on my
clothes the right way. I need to look good and feel good! The right clothing will make me feel confident and
all my problems will disappear. Colleagues will be proud of me and I will get a better position.
I open my closet and notice that most of my clothes are black, brown and grey. They hang down sadly on
their hangers. Are they depressed? I decide that a bright color is needed for successful dressing, and choose a
red sweater. Now, I also want to look cool and casual – I take the blue jean shorts! Finally, it’s cold outside;
black tights and long boots area a fashion rule. I look in the mirror. I realize that I wore exactly the same
clothing two days ago. That was the day I lost my purse and had
an argument with my partner. Not what you would call a successful day. I look in my closet. My black, grey and
brown clothes seem to fall even further down.
I shut the drawer of my closet and think that success is a state of mind and decide not to pay attention to London
Fashion Week.

A. You do not have to worry as long as you have shorts and tights to put on because they are basic pieces of clothing.
B. If you want to be satisfied with life, you should get dressed differently from the models of the London Fashion
Week!
C. It does not matter what you wear; what is important is how you feel and the thoughts you have about yourself!
D. Do not wear dark colors because you can get depressed. Buy colorful clothing, which makes you feel better.
