Discussion
Question:
Why do you think there are so many tall buildings in the world now?
Answer: There isn’t enough space in cities, so you have to build up.

Imagine that you are preparing a essay for a foreign magazine which need information about buildings in the world.
You can describe the buildings from the aspects,such as,height,storey,location, size,time taken,cost ,funcion and so on
eg: The building is in Shanghai,which is the tallest in China.......
