Reading - Task 1

1 Match texts A-G with headings 1-8. Each number can only be used once. There is one extra heading.

A When you visit Kenyatasks capital city Nairobi, you are — struck by the number of tall buildings. Twenty or thirty years ago this was not the case, but now the skyline is cluttered with skyscrapers of concrete and glass which can be anything up to 30 or 40 storeys high. The mirrored glass windows are not designed to open, which Is not very practical In hot weather, but the effect is impressive.

B East Africa’s largest slum. Kibera. is in the heart of Nairobi. One million of the city’s three million people live there. Up to eight people share small mud-walled stacks In appalling conditions. Toilets are Just holes In the ground - one per fifty or more people. Photographed from the air. Kibera is a vast area of rusty corrugated iron roofs about the size of New York’s Central Park, contrasting starkly with the modern luxury high-rises around It.

C Nairobitasks colonial-style bungalows date back to the British occupation of 1888-1962. The English loved the warm pleasant climate there after the cold and damp back home. Equatorial Nairobi enjoys temperatures of 20-25 degrees Celsius all year round. Therefore, colonial bungalows tad nice big gardens to sit outside In and make the most of It The houses themselves were stone-built, often with a shady veranda in front Sadly, many of these lovely old houses have now disappeared.

D Shopping malls are springing up like mushrooms In Nairobi with at least 30 malls to choose from. Better-off people now want places to spend their money In. Functional concrete on the outside, malls are luxurious places Inside. Galleries, escalators and glass-paned lifts all make for an Indulgent shopping experience. Security has been stepped up lately, too. in the wake of recent unrest in the city.

E You’d hardly expect to see buildings with thatched roofs in a big city. Nevertheless, you can still see a few of them in Nairobi. It could be a traditional restaurant on the edge of town, where they serve their own grilled goat. Or perhaps It’s an old house huddled by the side of the road on one of the big dual carriageways. Such buildings provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, when all housing was thatched.

F Just a few kilometres outside the city centre are ‘tin’ villages where the houses are all made of sheets of corrugated iron. The roadsides are full of rubbish and cows but the windowless little shops are painted in bright colours. Above many doors Is the sign ‘M-pesa’ - the Swahili word for mobile money. Poor people often don’t have bank accounts and M-pesa is a great system for exchanging money over your phone!

G Apart from skyscrapers and malls. Nairobi is full of older buildings that were erected in the 1960s and 70s. You really do feel you are In a capital city. It’s not just all that concrete; the streets are packed with people and there are huge traffic jams. Nevertheless, there are plenty of green areas and parks, which is why Nairobi has retained Its old title of ‘the green city in the sun’.
