单集文稿 ...

• 00:07

  Hello, hello lovely and welcome into IELTS speaking part 2.

• 00:11

  Describe an interesting building.

• 00:13

  You should say where it is, what it looks like,

• 00:17

  what function it has and explain why you think it's interesting.

• 00:22

  Rory, tell us your story.

• 00:31

  I'd like to talk about the Eiffel Tower, which is a pretty famous building in Paris and France.

• 00:37

  You might have seen it for yourself on TV or in books

• 00:41

  since it's a pretty popular site to have in movies or to set the scene for something like a guidebook or a novel.

• 00:49

  When it comes to what it looks like, it's a tower.

• 00:51

  So it's a very tall building with a high point and a base that flares out in four places.

• 00:59

  So there are four pillars of steel beams that support it.

• 01:04

  I'd say it was a pretty grey colour from what I can remember just from standing underneath it which makes sense

• 01:10

  since that's the colour of steel I think.

• 01:14

  Not only is it just a sort of high metal framework,

• 01:18

  it's also a place with restaurants and viewing platforms so you can see people enjoying themselves in those places.

• 01:24

  I've never been inside those places myself,

• 01:27

  but the views must be spectacular just looking at it from the ground up.

• 01:31

  In terms of its function,

• 01:32

  I think it's just a tourist attraction with places for people to see the sights and enjoy their meals these days,

• 01:39

  but I think it was originally constructed for the World's Fair to demonstrate how various metal frames could be used to create extremely tall buildings.
