Level B1 Intermediate English Reading Practice: A Famous Canadian Landmark
The CN Tower is Toronto’s most famous landmark. But what do you know about it? Here are some interesting facts about this iconic Canadian tourist destination.
Why was it built?
Toronto experienced a construction boom in the 1960s. Because of so many tall new buildings, radio and television signals could not travel easily to many places around the city—the existing transmission towers could not do this job well anymore. In short, the CN Tower was built to create a high place for sending radio and TV signals around the region.
Who built it?
The CN tower was built by Canadian National, the corporation that was responsible for Canada’s largest railway network. They employed over 1,500 people to build it.
How long did it take to build?
Construction on the outside part of the tower began on February 6th, 1973 and ended on April 2nd, 1975. The tower opened to the public on June 26th, 1976. In total, it took around 40 months to build and prepare the tower for public access.
How long was it the tallest building in the world?
The CN Tower was the tallest building in the world from March 31st, 1975 (when the final antenna piece was placed) until September 12th, 2007, when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. So, it was known as the tallest building in the world for over 32 years. Today, it is the third tallest tower in the world, and the tenth tallest building.
The most impressive fact here is that all of the buildings which eventually surpassed the CN Tower were completed between 2009 and 2020. Remember, the CN Tower was opened to the public in 1976!
How tall is it?
The CN Tower is 553.3 meters tall. Wow!
Now you know a little more about this famous tourist destination.

Тест на розуміння тексту англійською мовою: The Crashed Car
8 запитаньАнглійська мова, 9 клас
There were no other cars on the road that night. Adrian was driving home through a large forest, feeling sad and lonely. Between the trees it was completely dark.
He turned on the radio, but there wasn’t any signal. So he started to sing an old song from his youth. He sang the final line at the top of his voice: “My heart will – always – be – with you!”
When he finished, the silence seemed the loudest sound of all.
Adrian stopped the car suddenly. A car had crashed into a tree on the side of the road. Adrian got out.
“Are you alright?” he shouted.
He looked inside the car. It was empty. The driver’s door was open.
Adrian called the emergency services.
“Hello, what is the emergency?”
“Someone has crashed on the side of the road. They’ve left their car and I don’t know where they are.” He gave his location.
“Thank you sir. We know that road. A lot of crashes happen there. We’ll be there soon. Were you driving alone, sir?”
“Yes, I – I was just driving home.”
“And where is your home, sir? I need the information to file a complete report.”
After Adrian gave his address, there was a long pause.
“That address doesn’t match any of my records, sir.”
“What? — Oh, maybe you have my old address.” He gave it.
“That’s a nice town, sir. Is that where you were driving from this evening?”
“Yes – I was visiting my parents. That’s my parents’ address. Is this important?”
“You said you were driving home, sir. But that’s not true, is it?”
“What do you mean?”
“You were driving to the place where you live, in the city. But the city isn’t your home, is it? You didn’t grow up there. You didn’t learn to ride your bike there, or play in the fields with your parents, or sing with your friends. The truth is, you were driving away from your home.”
“What is this?” shouted Adrian, feeling frightened. “Who are you? Is this the emergency services?”
The other person ended the call.
Adrian was terrified. What was going on? He looked all around. Was someone watching him? But he was still alone in the dark.
Then, Adrian heard a sound that made him freeze.
“— heart will always be — heart will always be —”
It was the broken radio in the crashed car. Adrian turned quickly. He looked at the car again. He could see the driver now, in the car’s mirror. The man was dead in his seat.
Adrian looked at the man for a long time. Then he stared along the road, towards the city. Finally, he turned around, and began to walk home.Приклад запитання: Що робив Адріан, коли їхав додому вночі?
