And now a news story from Chicago. The Willis Tower boasts an observation deck that is situated on the 103rd floor. If that’s not scary enough, the deck is made of glass and protrudes from the building. (B)  Now imagine this glass deck cracking while there are tourists on it. This is exactly what happened last week to three tourists observing the panorama of the city. They were terrified when they saw a web of cracks underfoot and hurried back into the building. However, a Willis Tower spokesperson said at a press conference yesterday that there’s no reason to be alarmed. The glass structure is sound, and what cracked was the protective coating designed to keep the deck from getting scratched.  The deck remains closed while crews are carrying out repairs on the protective coating.

Woman: Hello. I saw the advertisement outside. Do you happen to know if the vacancy is still available?
Man: As far as I know it is.
Woman: Are you by any chance familiar with the terms of the tenancy agreement?
Man: The rent is £900 a month and a 12-month lease is required. The owner pays for the gas, but the tenant pays for all other utilities. To move in, you have to pay a deposit.
Woman: Is it a safe neighbourhood?
Man: Absolutely. (C)  I patrol the property every hour, we have surveillance cameras and all tenants know one another .
Woman: Would it be possible for me to see the flat?
Man: I’m afraid I can’t leave my post and I’m not allowed to show you round the property but I’ll call the landlord. Please, take a seat for a moment.

April 25th was the hottest April day on record, with temperatures hitting 29 degrees. And the following night might have been a sleepless one for many Londoners. Have you ever wondered why it’s hard to fall asleep on a hot night? (B)  Studies show that it is body temperature that determines how well one sleeps.  Generally, when we fall asleep, our body temperature naturally decreases by 1 to 2 degrees compared to the temperature during wakefulness. It is believed that this way our organism conserves energy for other functions. However, on either hot or cold nights your body struggles to reach the optimal body temperature and this leads to sleep disorders.
