Describing an old building
Describe an old building that you like. You should say:
where it is
what it is used for
and why you like it.
I'm going to describe a very famous building in New York:
the Empire State
Building. People might not think of it as an old building, but the Empire State
Building was built in 1931, so I don't think it can be classed as new. It's located
on Manhattan island and it's probably the most distinctive and recognisable
building when you look at New York's skyline. As far as I know, the Empire
State
Building is an office building, but visitors can go up to an observation
deck on
the top floor, which is the 102nd floor. There's also a 360-degree
observation area on the 86th floor. Apparently, the building makes more
money from the sale of tickets to the observation floors than it does from
office rentals. I think the Empire State Building is still one of the most
impressive skyscrapers in the world. It's such
an iconic structure, and it's
amazing to think that it was built around 80 years ago. The best thing about
the building is the
viewing deck on the top floor, which offers spectacular
views of
the city; it's definitely the best vantage point in New York. I'd
recommend anyone who visits the city to go there and experience the view.
