So, it was built on soft ground and as soon as it had been built, it slowly began to lean. Over the years, many attempts were made to stop the tower from leaning. Once, people removed stones from the bottom in order to put strong metal rods in, but the stones that were being removed were part of the foundations so the tower leaned even more! Since then it has been reinforced to correct this. Today, the tower can still be seen leaning to one side. It is covered in marble and it is very beautiful. Unfortunately, however, it was closed to the public in 1990 after it was revealed that a single busload of tourists at the top could make it fall over completely! All the same, it will be visited by tourists for many years to come. Complete the dialogues with the correct question tag. 1.A: You’re not going jogging,_____? B: Why not?

Businesses produce goods and provide services, and they come in every shape and size. Although the vast majority of the world’s companies are small, in many countries the economy is dominated by large firms. Large businesses differ from small ones in a wide variety of ways. In many countries there are nationalized companies belonging to the state, as well as private companies. A private company might be a small firm with just one owner or a very large firm with thousands of shareholders ‘owning’ the firm. Some firms may only produce one good or provide one service. Others may produce many different products; in fact they may seem to be like a collection of ‘businesses’ inside of one company. As a company gets bigger it may expend geographically. Many large firms are multinationals like Nestle, General Motors, Ingersoll Rend etc. They have manufacturing plants and trading locations in several different countries spread around the world.

The stewardess kept hermouth shut, this time, but we came to theconclusion the plane must have developedengine trouble and so it had.Presently we were flying over the jungle inCentral Africa and my fellow travellerswere terribly upset. Women were holdingtheir children tighter and tighter and menwere drinking more and more heavily.There was also a person there who wassaying a prayer in a loud voice. I too wasterribly frustrated, and as I looked down atthe bush, I could not help thinking ofcannibalism, death and other pleasantthings.At that moment, the loud-speaker wasswitched on, and the captain’s voice washeard: "Ladies and gentlemen, I havetragic news for you".The faces of all the passengers turnedpale. Some burst into tears, and the prayerstifled in the parson’s mouth. My heartsank into my boots.The captain continued in a gloomy voice: "It is my sad duty to inform you thatEngland has lost her last football matchagainst Scotland!"
