It's five to nine and here is the weather forecast for the British Isles until midnight.

For all areas east of London and as far north as the Wash it will be dry with a few patches* of hazy* sunshine along the coastal legions. the winds will drop and temperatures

should rise to 201! although there is little chance of the sun breaking through.

Along the south coast the day will start clear and bright, with temperatures climbing to 25 V by mid-day. However, by late afternoon, clouds will appear from the southwest bringing the possibility of some humidity*.

In the western re covering Wales and southwest England as far as Bristol heavy rain has already et in and in England it is expected to continue for the rest of

the day with temperatures only reaching 17 or 18 degrees.

The worst of the rain should have cleared Pembroke and west Wales by mid afternoon and occasional breaks in the cloud may lift the temperatures to 19, but further north, more rain

blowing across the Irish Sea, with high winds, will keep the temperature down to 15 or 16 degrees; low for this time of the year.

Finally, for the rest of England and Scotland, the weather will be with rain from

The west clearing by mid-morning, and then brighter periods with

scattered* showers will cover most of the Midlands and Scotland. The winds will be fresh from the northwest becoming chilly in the north of Scotland. As night falls, fog will roll in from the iorth Sea and most of the northeast Scottish coast will have restricted visibility. Temperatures will decrease rapidly in the evening, in some places in the extreme north falling to 7 degrees. That is the end of the weather forecast, and the shipping forecast will follow shortly. Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. I.D 2. C 3. A 4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 8. C Passage 2 Package Holidays TAPESCRIPT

Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location are

increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive* price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions*, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing — you name it — it's all laid

on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange

anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time trave . Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit

historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for tile coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic the ancient, but time is always at your

elbow*. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it call be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a

group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus*. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by.

The first skyscrapers were built ill the United States. As early as the 1880s, two new technical developments made these taller buildings possible. One development was the mechanical elevator. It meant that people would not have to climb many steps to reach tile upper floors of tall buildings. Elevators could carry them quickly to the top floors.

The development of steel also helped make taller buildings possible. Walls of stone, concrete and other materials had supported earlier buildings. But such wails were too heavy for a truly tall building. Pieces of steel, however, could help form a strong skeleton* for a tall building. The steel frame was strong enough to support the building. Walls could be made of glass or other thin materials. Today, most skyscrapers have steel frames with glass or metal walls connected to them.

The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, Illinois in 1885. It was the Home Insurance Building. It was almost 55 meters tall. By the early 1900s, skyscrapers were rising in all large American cities, especially in New York. The world's most famous skyscraper was built there in 1931. The Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for more than forty years. It is still one of the most popular. Each year, more than 3,000,000 visitors to New York City ride an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. They stand outdoors hi a special observation area almost 380 meters above the ground. From them, they can see all of the city of New Yolk far below.

By the 1950s, most big American businesses had their headquarters in skyscrapers. The goal was to keep all employees of the same company together. By tile 1960s and early 1970s, almost every skyscraper looked the same. They were like boxes with fiat tops and square sides. The buildings were made of glass, steal and concrete.

European architects* invented this simple design, it is called the International Style. They wanted to create buildings for working people. They wanted buildings that were simple and expressed the idea that all people were equal. But after a while, architects and other people became tired of buildings that looked like boxes. They said that too many of them made a city look ugly.

Today, architects are designing many unusual and interesting skyscrapers. Some architects use elements of past, classical architecture in their skyscrapers. For example, they might use tall stone columns* like those of
