DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
The Eiffel Tower

(sources : https://englishforsma.com/descriptive-text-exercise-2/ )

The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was initially
criticized by some of France’s leading artists and intellectuals for its design but has become both a
global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is
the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world.

The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. Because of
the addition of the aerial atop the Eiffel Tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by
5.2 metres (17 ft). Not including broadcast aerials, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after
the Millau Viaduct.

The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second. The third level
observatory’s upper platform is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground, the highest accessible to the public
in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift (elevator) to the first and
second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the
first to the second level. Although there are stairs to the third and highest level, these are usually
closed to the public and it is generally only accessible by lift.

The puddled iron (wrought iron) structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tons, while the entire
structure, including non-metal components, is approximately 10,000 tons. Several mathematical
explanations have been proposed over the years for the success of the design; the most recent is
described as a nonlinear integral equation based on counterbalancing the wind pressure on any
point on the tower with the tension between the construction elements at that point. As proof of
the tower’s effectiveness in wind resistance, it sways only 6–7 cm (2–3 in) in the wind.
