III. Write a paragraph about Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia. (75 to 100 words)

Petronas twin towers

That location in the city of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, was named Petronas

in relation to the oil company that requested the building of the two towers Which

constitute one of the most important, largest and most impressive engineering works in

the world, and the tallest skyscraper in Malaysia until now , and which were also the

tallest towers in the world from 1998 to 2004 .The height of the two towers to the top

floor is 375 meters. As for their height with the antenna, they reach 452 meters. Both

towers have 88 floors with 78 elevators

The tower consists mainly of two skyscrapers connected to each other by an air bridge,

and the construction of each tower was assigned to two different companies to ensure

speed and competition between them, as the difference between the two companies

upon completion of work was only the delay in the arrival of the lightning rod, as one of

them was brought from Korea and the other from Japan And the first shipment arrived

before the second .The towers were completed in 1996 and inaugurated in 1999 and

the final cost of the construction was US $ 5.6 billion you can either visit the Petronas

Twin Towers from the outside for free, or you can pay and go inside the Petronas, which

includes a tour to the sky bridge and the observation deck

IV. Would you like to visit Malaysia? Give reasons. (75 to 100 words)

Yes absolutely I would like to visit Malaysia, for several reasons from my point of view,

the most important reason is cultural diversity, as Malaysia enjoys a great diversity in

cultures, customs and traditions. Throughout its history, it has represented a home to

many Asian races, which brought with them their indigenous cultures to the land of

Malaysia, where every culture is celebrated and expressed on a regular basis.

Harmonious. The second reason is the appropriate prices of goods, as the low prices of

goods and commodities is one of the reasons that push me and attract visitors to

Malaysia, where the country offers many types of purchases such as food, clothes and

exhibits at cheap prices that suit different groups and financial capabilities of people.

The third reason is the diversity in foods. The Malaysian cuisine is characterized by

providing several types of food and local foods with different international flavors, and

you will certainly find what suits you and what you are used to.The last reason, which is

considered one of the most important reasons, is the way the local residents deal with

travelers, one of the most influential and important things in making my experience of

traveling to Malaysia distinctive with good hospitality and assistance to travelers
