Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower is an early model of wrought-iron construction on an enormous scale. The tower was named after the designer, Gustave Eiffel, a French engineer who was also designed the Statue of Liberty’s framework in New York. As the time of its completion in 1889, the tower was the world’s highest man-made structure and now it’s still the tallest structure of Paris. Having a great attraction with more than six million every year, Eiffel Tower is considered as one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world.

The tower consists of three levels which is about 300 meters (984 feet) high. It also has a TV antenna on the top of the tower which gives 22 meters of additional height. The tower’s base platform consists of four semicircular arches. It’s also installed with glass-walled elevators and stairs which lead up to the first and second deck. There are also some elevators that go from the second level to the third platform which is close the topmost part of tower. Visitors can see a great panoramic view extends for about 80 km (50 miles) on a clear day. Along with the viewing areas, there also museum, restaurants and a souvenir shop on first and second platform.

The eiffel tower initially was a result of a contest that held by the French Government. At the time the government was organizing the 1889’s International Exposition, a fair to celebrate a one hundred year French Revolution’s anniversary. There was a huge enthusiasm from the people around, and more than 100 ideas were submitted. Eiffel’s idea was selected among the others with some controversy. The plan required a tower which was constructed almost completely of a series of metal strips. The structure was largely criticized in the planning phases since there was nothing like it had ever been built before. Still, the tower was built with a minor labour force and at a slight cost. The construction took only two years, between 1887 until 1889.The Eiffel Tower was nearly torn down a few times right after the 1889 fair ended. However, Eiffel then managed changes to the structure that made it more beneficial. There were several additions of changes to the tower, first a weather station and a military telegraph in 1890 and 1903. It continued with some changes for fairs that were held in 1900, 1925, and 1937. The tower was renovated in the early of 1980s for its a hundred year anniversary right in 1989. Now, this landmark of Paris becomes a popular tourist stop from all over the world.

Conclusion:

 The conclusion is that descriptive text is a text that describes or describes something, it can include places, people and others. The descriptive text does not require further research, it is only limited to what the author saw and heard in explaining the object.
