The Coolest Hotel in the World
Read the text about the Coolest Hotel in the world and do exercises below.
The Coolest Hotel in The World
Can you imagine a hotel that is entirely made of ice? Well, it exists in Sweden, but only in winter. In spring, the hotel melts away and disappears into the river.
The Ice Hotel is situated on the shores of the Torne River in the old village of Jukkasjarvi,Sweden.
Every winter, work starts on building a new Ice Hotel, involving 40,000 tons of ice and snow. 10,000 tons of ice is taken from the Torne River, and 30,000 tons of snow is provided by Mother Nature.
The first Ice Hotel was built in 1990. It started as single room - now it has 64 ros, as well as an ice chapel, an art gallery, a cinema, a theatre and an Absolute Ice Bar. Last winter,more than 14,000 guests spent the nigh at the Ice Hotel.
Outside, the temperature is -30'C, but inside a hotel, the temperature is always around -5'C. All the furniture is made of ice, including the beds, but nobody gets cold. The beds are coverd with rindeer skins and guests are given warm clothes and special arctic sleeping bags.
In the Absolute Ice Bar, the drinks are served in glasses made of ice, so there is no need for ice cubes!
Every year the interior of the hotel is designed by different artists from all over the world. It is described by visitors as 'absolutely stunnig', 'one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen' and 'unique'.

Funny Short Story
The following is a direct quote from the Center for Strategic and International Studies report on GLOBAL ORGANIZED CRIME; the author who introduces the story swears it's true.
FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an appetite. The agent in charge of the investigation called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues.
The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI because they were taping all conversations at the hospital.
Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda.
Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?
Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.
Pizza Man: The psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.
Pizza Man: You're an FBI agent?
Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.
Pizza Man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front (go) to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.
Pizza Man: And you say you're all FBI agents?
Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?
Pizza Man: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?
Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.
Pizza Man: How are you going to pay for all of this?
Agent: I have my checkbook right here.
Pizza Man: And you're all FBI agents?
Agent: That's right. Everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have the front doors locked.
Pizza Man: I don't think so.
