The Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is the top place to see for first-time visitors to New York
City. This tall building was part of a competition between New York City businessmen
Walter Chrysler and John Raskob for the construction of the world's tallest building.
Engineer William Lamb was paid to produce the plans for the buildings, and John
Raskob and Pierre du Pond's company paid for the Empire State project.

The other project in competition for this title, 40 Wall Street, was under construction
when work on the Empire State Building began on March 17, 1930. The Empire State
project was completed on April 11, 1931, sooner than planned. The building was
opened for business by Herbert Hoover on May 1, 1931. However, due to the great
economic crisis of that time, lots of the offices in the building were not rented for
several years.

When visiting the Empire State Building, prepare for long ticket lines on the first floor,
especially on weekends. You should wear warm clothes if it's cold and windy, so check
the temperature before you go. Tourists buy one ticket to visit the 86th floor and
another one for the 102nd floor, which offers interesting 360-degree views of the city.
Book your tickets online to save money. To go up to the higher floor, tickets are only
available on the 80th floor, where you can learn about the history of the building.

For centuries, human beings have used various languages to communicate. Nowadays,
writing and speaking in at least two languages allow us to explore our natural ability to
make stronger connections with others, and this separates humans from other animals.
However, many people do not realize the importance of communicating with others in a
new language, and despite having great skill in using our first language, which is the
language that we learned first and speak best, problems in communication are still
common.

It is wrong to think we can travel the world and expect everyone we meet to speak our
first language. In order to visit other countries, whether for business or pleasure, it will
always be necessary to have conversations in a foreign language to exchange
information. It is almost impossible to get along with new people if there is no way to
communicate with them.

Learning a foreign language comes with many benefits, including learning from
different cultures, improving communication skills, and having a better experience
when traveling abroad. Additionally, the ability to communicate in a second language
has become very important in the global business community now, which is growing
quickly. Communicating directly with new clients in their first language is one of the
steps to building a serious and permanent international business relationship.

In conclusion, communication needs to be taken seriously, especially if you speak only

one language Communicating in a foreign language will definitely make a difference
when you decide to travel or work abroad. By applying your second language
knowledge, you will have better business opportunities and get along better with new
people.
