VII. Reading MCQ (37–40)
Read the passage and choose the best answer.
If you'd like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I'm afraid there is not a short cut for this, but there are many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the translator as last.
Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.

The Eiffel Tower is a very famous tower in Paris, France. It was named after the engineer who designed it, Alexandre Eiffel.
Alexandre Eiffel was asked to build the tower when France decided to have a big fair to exhibit its goods and wares. The tower was located in the middle of the fair as a special attraction. When the structure first started to take shape, the people of France did not like it. They thought it looked like a giant skeleton and was not attractive at all.
