19、of a church,youll instantly notice its all made of wood,which of course makes it ripe for a fire to spread quickly.Second,fire hoses can only reach a maximum height of fifty feet,making the spires in Notre-Dame Cathedral extremely difficult to address.”“The firefighters used both an offensive and de

27、2026one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city.His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.To get its paperwork rubber stamped,the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36 million fee for a building permit.Gaudi was t

28、old to get the paperwork processed,but the architect failed to do soproceeding with construction regardless.The money from the churchs permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area.Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona,the capital city of Catalonia,northeast Spa

29、in.Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind.However,interpretation of the designs by present-day architects is particularly challenging b

35、e most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.Peoples attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speakers message.So,dont stop speaking when you make a mistake unless its a truly ser

36、ious one.3Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.4 And like everything else in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practise their skills on a consistent basis.5 Its rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand,you probably can
