Topic Reading-Vol.752-5/3/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Saudi Arabia to build world's tallest tower that will reach one kilometer into the sky
Are humans still in a race to show off something bigger, taller or costlier than others, particularly to the neighbors? To have the tallest and the most expensive building seems attracting enough to spend over one billion dollars to a rich royal family in Arabia.
The construction of this a-kilometer-high sky scraper began in April in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and is expected to be completed in 2019. There will be 59 high-speed elevators, five of them are double-deckers, to connect 167 floors. The view from its observatory deck at 500 meters above ground will be spectacular, overlooking the Red Sea and desert.
Which view would you like to enjoy, the one from the world tallest building in Jeddah or the second tallest one in Dubai?
Enjoy reading and learning about the kingdom’s ambitious plan and race.
