The world’s tallest building officially opened on 4 January 2010 with a dramatic
fireworks ceremony in Dubai. The Burj Khalifa, standing at an amazing 828 metres, high
is by far taller than any skyscraper or structure built before it. Although it is not
completed on the inside, it is officially open for the public by Dubai's ruler Sheikh
Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Construction of the ‘Burj Khalifa’ began in 2004
and, five years later, all 160 floors of the structure were completed. The building has a
mind-boggling 28,000 glass panels and more than 500,000 square metres of office space
spread across 47 floors. The tower also has the world’s highest observation deck, the
highest mosque (on the158th floor) and the highest swimming pool (on the 76th floor).
Because the size of the building is so tremendous, it has 57 different lifts to accommodate
people. At the foot of the tower, there is a 300 metre fountain which is also the world’s
tallest performing fountain. Before the Burj Khalifa was completed, the tallest building
5

13
was the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, standing at 508 metres tall. The difference between the
two is more than 300 metres. The tallest building in America is Willis Tower in Chicago
standing at 442 metres tall. The Burj Khalifa is almost twice as tall! The top of the tower
can be seen from 95 kilometres away! Just imagine, if the tower were built in Athens, you
would be able to see it from Corinth! The design of the Burj Khalifa uses a lot of ideas
from traditional Islamic architecture and the open petals of a desert flower were the
inspiration for the base of the tower. There are 1,044 luxury apartments, 49 floors of
offices and, in the future, a 160-room Armani hotel. About 12,000 people are expected to
live and work in the tower. Building such a tall skyscraper was not an easy task by any
means. There were a lot of technical challenges that the architects and engineers had to
overcome. Bill Baker, the tower’s structural engineer, said they hadn’t been sure how high
they could go and that they learned a lot as they went along. His job was very important,
as he was responsible for the stability of the building. There were a lot of things the
architects and engineers had to consider when building the tower. Obviously, building
something so tall is very challenging, but the height of the tower was not the only thing
they had to worry about. Dubai is also known for being very windy and the surface under
the tower moves a bit. Mohamed Ali Alabbar said that the tower had been hit by
lightning twice, an earthquake in Iran shook the land in Dubai and they have
experienced all types of strong winds. None of these phenomena have affected the
building. Besides engineering difficulties, the tower also faced economic ones. In 2004,
the economy of Dubai was doing very well. However, a few years later, the crisis that hit
countries worldwide also hit Dubai. There was a problem of finding enough money to
complete the project. Abu Dhabi, a neighbouring and rich country, gave Dubai 8 billion
euro to help their economy. The name of the tower was supposed to be Burj Dubai, but as
a sign of appreciation it was changed and named after the leader of Dubai, Sheikh Khalifa
bin Zayed.

Ever since I was a child I loved the sea. I would anxiously wait for school to break up so
that my family and I could go to our summerhouse in Mani, in the Peloponnese. Once
there, I would spend hours every day underwater with my snorkel and mask. I enjoyed
team sports like football and volleyball, but not as much as many of my classmates.
During the winter months my parents signed me up to a pool in a gym. I quickly got
bored. I enjoy swimming, too, of course, but that isn’t what primarily attracts me to water.
It’s observing life underwater that fascinates me most. It wasn’t long before I convinced
my parents to sign me up for scuba diving lessons.
After watching many documentaries about the deep sea on television, I realised that I
wanted to do what the deep-sea divers who film sea life were doing. Many people
consider scuba diving an extreme sport and, at first, my parents didn’t want to sign me up
for lessons. They were afraid that scuba diving would be too dangerous and too expensive
as well. I researched diving and presented my parents with facts that prove scuba diving
is not more dangerous than other sports and that it is also affordable. I found out, for
example, that the number of accidents which occur while cycling is seven times that of
diving. Of course, like with most sports, it is not danger free and there are many safety
rules and procedures one must follow. I signed up for an open water diving course at a
diving school in Anavisos. A certified instructor taught me the basics and all the safety
signals and practices a diver needs to understand. I also learned about injuries and
common mistakes that divers make. I spent six Saturdays getting certified. It was fun
because most of the training was done underwater. At the end I took a written test and I
passed! I also met a lot of interesting people at the diving school. Some were beginners
like me, while others were more experienced divers who rented out diving equipment like
oxygen tanks, flippers and wet suits from the school. It is good to make friends with other
divers because, this way, you can easily find someone to go diving with. You are not
allowed to go diving by yourself; you must go with at least one buddy.
Today my ‘diving buddies’ are my dad and mum! After taking me for lessons and
hearing me talk about the experiences of diving, they decided that they wanted to get
certified too! They have even organised a diving trip to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt in this
8
26
summer. It is going to be fantastic. Sharm el Sheikh is a coastal city located on the shores
of the Red Sea. The Red Sea is famous for its rich underwater sea life and divers from all
over the world travel there for the experience to encounter uncountable varieties of fish,
corals and other sea life. I can’t wait!

Every morning millions of people all over the world open their newspaper or
magazines and turn to the horoscope pages. Here they read about what will happen to
them. For example: Leo: You will meet a tall, dark man who will interest you. Virgo: Be
careful when crossing the road. And so on for each of the 12 signs of the zodiac. Each
sign lasts for about a month. These predict future life of someone. There is, however , a
great deal of evidence that an astrologer can predict certain important events such as
when it will rain, how long it will take plants to grow and other events to do with nature.
The first astrologers- studied how the sun, moon and planets moved in the sky and
thought that made certain events happen on Earth. From this, it was a short step to think
that everything on Earth was made to happen by the way the stars moved in the sky even
thought there was no real evidence for this. Then they invented the signs of the zodiac

and said that what happened in our lives was caused by the signs under which we were
born.

For centuries people believed that the sun , the stars and the planets all move
in a circle around the earth . This is what is called a geocentric theory in
astronomy . The word comes from the ancient Greek , " geo" which means earth and
"centro" which means middle or centre . This theory was believed by great minds like
Ptolemy , Aristotle and most ancient Greek philosophers as well as thinkers in ancient
China . Although geocentrists were wrong in the end , they were people who depended
on scientific observation . The geocentric belief in ancient Greece was based on
observations of natural phenomena .

By watching the stars , planets and sun , it looks like they are moving around the earth .
Also , it is easy to believe that if something we are standing on is moving , we would feel it
Geocentrists , did not get everything wrong . They also believed that the earth is round
and not flat like we have read about in mythology .The ancient Greeks believed that the
planets and stars moved around the earth in circles .
However , after observing them they saw that that they do not move perfectly this way . In
the 1600's . Polish astronomer Copernicus , was able to better explain the motion of the
planets and stars by saying that the sun , and not the earth , was the centre of the universe
. This is what we call a heliocentric solar system . This word also comes from the Greek
language , "helios" meaning sun and "centro" meaning centre . This theory was difficult to
accept as people , and the church in particular , wanted to believe that man is at the
centre of the universe and space .Galileo also believed in the heliocentric theory and was
able to further prove this theory by using a telescope he had built . With it , he was able to
better observe the motion of the planets and stars in space . He saw , for example , that the
moons of Jupiter moved around Jupiter and not the earth . At the same time that Galileo
was observing space with his telescope , a German mathematician and astronomer ,
Johannes Kepler , was doing his own work to prove the heliocentric theory . He was able
to explain the motion of planets by proving mathematically that the planets and the stars
move in ellipses and not in circles . As years passed , more and more scientists , such as
lsaac Newton , were able to give more information proving that the Earth moves around
the sun and not the other way around . Copernicus was not the first astronomer to believe
in a heliocentric theory . The ancient Greek Aristarchus of Samos believed this as well . He
was able to prove that the sun is larger than the earth , so he thought that the earth must
go around it . It often takes a long time to prove a theory and scientists may begin with
one that is wrong . However , by asking questions or trying to explain the world around
us , scientists and philosophers have answered many questions and have helped us to
better understand the world around us .

Everyone's personality is as different and unique as everyone's fingerprints. We can
usually see people's personality in the clothes they wear, or how they look after their
things, or how they behave with other people. When we say that we know someone well,
what we really mean is that we can make accurate guesses about what that person will do
or think. We know the different features of their personality. These features are called
"personality traits".
Psychologists think that we have "central personality traits". These affect how we
behave, and how we react to people and situations. Examples of central personality traits

are friendliness, neatness, competitiveness, shyness and optimism. Some psychologists
think that we inherit these central traits from our family and that they usually stay with
us all our life. Psychologists say that we also have "secondary traits", connected with the
things we prefer, such as our favourite food, music, films or colours. These can change as
we get older, but very often many of them stay the same all our lives.

My advice about learning to drive would be to have proper lessons from a
qualified instructor and never to let a friend or family member try to teach you. It's a
guaranteed way to spoil a good relationship. Every Sunday, when the traffic was quieter,
my father would pick me up and take me for a drive along the streets of our hometown
and give me a lecture on how to drive, explaining everything hehehehe was doing and why.
Eventually it was my turn to have a go. My dad was so nervous that he panicked before
I'd even started up the engine. He used to shout at the slightest mistake, and when the
lesson was finally over he'd come home and have a large glass of lemon juice to calm
down.

where it started. There are reports of a game like football which was played in China
around 500 B.C. Football was played in England for many years, but there were no rules.

pele. When he was a boy, he used to play for hours in the street with his friends. When
