1 This 492 m high building consists of two elements that correspond to the Chinese concept of the Earth as a square and the sky as a circle. The hole in the top also has a practical use - to relieve the pressure of the wind on the building. The glassy tower is being built just blocks away from the 420 m Jinmao tower in a district of Shangai that has been designated the Asian centre for international banking. The tower's lower levels will be used for offices, and its upper levels for a hotel, an art museum and restaurants.
2 1 wherever; 2 whatever; 3 whichever/whatever; 4 whenever; 5 whoever; 6 However
3 1 keep up with; 2 kicked off; 3 catch on; 4 is in; 5 came about; 6 homing in on
4 (we've skipped this one)
5 This is the corrected version, with the unnecessary words deleted. I find it quite funny, actually:
An hour with the Body Earth Power Group was enough for me. No sooner had Carin Brook entered than everyone became silent. Much as I tried to keep my mind open - and despite the fact that I have been known to do a bit of tree-hugging myself - I couldn't help thinking that this was going to be a waste of time. Brook, even though she is tiny, had a charismatic presence. we started stretching in order to 'feel the Earth's rhythm' but it didn't last long. I'd hardly lifted my hands up when she told us all to sit down, close our eyes and 'revisualise ourselves from above'. Hard though I tried, I just couldn't imagine what the top of my head looked like, and in spite of her promptings to relax, the hard floor was geting very uncomfortable. Thankfully 4.00 pm came, by which time I was desperate for a nice soft chair and a cup of tea.
Don't hesitate to ask me in class if you have any doubts. Have a nice weekend!
