Rob: Hello, I’m Rob and this is 6 Minute English and I’m joined this week by Callum. Hello Callum.
Callum: Hello Rob.
Rob: Today we’re talking about tall buildings – very tall buildings in fact.
Callum: I suppose we could call them skyscrapers – because they’re so tall they almost touch the sky.
Rob: They do. Many countries compete with each other in trying to earn the title of having the tallest building in the world. And this month, London has opened its newest structure but unfortunately it’s not going to win the world record for being the highest.
Callum: No, but it is now the European Union’s tallest building standing at 310 metres tall.
Rob: That’s high enough for me. I haven’t really got a head for heights! Anyway if you don’t know what this new building is called we’ll tell you in a moment but not before I’ve set today’s question for Callum.
Callum: I suppose this is going to be about height?
Rob: Yes, that’s the long and short of it! According to the Guinness World Records, the first ever skyscraper was built in the USA, but in which city? Was it in:
a) New York
b) Chicago
c) Detroit
Callum: I don’t know this but I’m going to go for a: New York because there are many famous skyscrapers in New York. So I’m going to go a: New York.
