Family Loses House after Television Programme February 26th, 2013 By Roberta Cassidy A family that participated in the famous Home Makeover and Improvement Show, broadcast on CNB 5, was evicted from 5 their home two days ago. Home owner Patrick Donald claims ‘the producers of the show have left him in more trouble than he was in before they came along’. Donald says the handymen who work for the programme are far from professional. ‘They really made a mess of things. During the makeover, they just left their dangerous tools lying around. I mean, I have a 4-year-old daughter. Imagine her playing around with a chainsaw or a claw 10 hammer!’ Moreover, the Donald family is not satisfied at all with the end result. According to Sarah Donald ‘both the paintwork and the carpentry were done sloppily’. Because of the bad state their house is in, the municipality decided to evict them from their home. ‘We had no other choice’ mayor Paulson claimed. ‘The house was really a danger to both the family and the neighbourhood’. The producers of ‘Home Makeover and Improvement’ have not yet responded to the situation.

2 What does Patrick Donald say about dangerous tools?
3 What dissatisfied Sarah Donald? Why?

Now read the text. After reading answer the following questions.
Design and Construction of the Empire State Building The Empire State Building was designed by William F. Lamb. He was able to make the drawings for the building in just two weeks because he used designs he had made before he started working on the Empire State Building. 5 The construction work began on January 22, 1930, and construction of the building itself started on March 17 of the same year. The project involved 3,400 workers, mostly immigrants from Europe. According to official accounts, five workers died during 10 the construction. The construction project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Instead of taking eighteen months, the construction of the building took just under fifteen months. The total costs of building the Empire State Building were only $24.7 million. It had been estimated that the building would actually cost $43 million. The building was officially opened on May 1, 1931 by 15 President Herbert Hoover of the US. He turned on the building’s lights with the push of a button from Washington, D.C. 22

The World’s Tallest Building America is the country of the skyscrapers. The first skyscraper was built in Manhattan, New York and was 312 feet tall. In the 1930s the race to become the world’s tallest building began. To win the race to the top the constructor of the Chrysler Building (1930) used a secret weapon: a 125-foot stainless steel spire was covertly assembled in the crown of the building and hoisted into place. So the building got 1046 feet tall! Now the Chrysler Building was the world’s tallest one. But that lasted only one year, for one year later the Empire State Building was finished. The roof is at a height of 1,250 feet and with its antenna spire included it stands at a total of 1,454 feet high. Nowadays the Empire State Building is no longer the world’s tallest, although it is still a landmark in New York. Skyscrapers are getting taller and taller. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai (2012) is 2,717 feet, almost twice as tall as the Empire State Building.

Extreme Home Makeover: House on Patterson Street This house is in a very bad condition. The plumbing in the bathroom is in real need of fixing, since neither the toilets nor the shower work. Furthermore, the woodwork in the kitchen is heavily damaged. In the bedroom, windows are broken and the outside of the house should really be painted. There are cracks in the ceiling and the tiles on the floor in the family room are damaged. Finally, there are also problems with the foundation.
