Put questions to the text: Japanese train crash kills dozens A train has derailed and hit a building in Japan, killing 50 people and injuring about 300 in the country's worst rail crash in four decades. The commuter train came off the tracks at Amagasaki near Osaka, 410km (255 miles) west of Tokyo, and the front two carriages rammed into a building. The train company said it was investigating the cause of the crash. Some passengers said the train appeared to have been travelling too fast and began to shake before it derailed. "The train overran a stop at the previous station and so it backtracked, so I guess the driver was in a hurry because the train was running late," one survivor told Japanese television. Survivors tell of the chaos to the train company, West Japan Railway, confirmed that the driver had overshot the stop, and said the accident was under investigation. "The priority for now is to rescue the passengers," the firm's president, Takeshi Kakiuchi, told reporters. The crash happened at 0920 (0020 GMT), shortly after the morning rush hour. The train was carrying almost 600 passengers.

In which paragraph can you find out: 0 When and where Sinan was born. b 1 How Sinan first became popular. __________ 2 How his architectural designs continued to be used after his death. __________ 3 How Sinan changed people’s beliefs. __________ 4 Why Sinan’s work is still popular. __________ 5 Sinan’s big career change. __________ THE ARCHITECT SINAN 430 years old and still going strong! a) When people think about architecture today most people think about big towers in New York, beautiful palaces and churches in Italy and futuristic buildings in Asia. Yet one of the greatest architects that ever lived spent his whole life in Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle East and today, the work of Sinan can be seen and his influence felt more than 400 years after his death. b) Sinan was born in Kayseri, Turkey on April 15th 1489. He started life as a soldier and later worked as a skilled engineer and architect in Sultan Selim’s military campaigns in the East. When the Ottoman army captured Cairo, Sinan was promoted to chief architect and was given the privilege of removing any buildings in the city that were not in the city plan. In 1534, the Ottoman army needed to get across Lake Van so Sinan created a clever system to get the soldiers across quickly and safely. This made him very popular with the Sultan. He was sent to Central Europe as a judge and while he was there he started building bridges. It was here that he began to spend more time as an architect than as a soldier. From the end of the 1530s until his death on July 15th 1578, Sinan worked all over the Ottoman Empire, from Budapest to Mecca, building around 340 public structures. This included 94 great mosques, 57 universities and 35 palaces. c) Sinan’s greatest work is the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, finished four years before he died. Before the Selimiye Mosque, the largest dome (round top of a church or mosque) in the world was St Sophia in Istanbul, which was built during the Byzantine Empire. It was believed that a bigger dome could never be built. Sinan’s dome in the Selimiye Mosque showed that a bigger dome could be built. d) Domes are important in Sinan’s work. In fact, the designs that people connect with Islamic or Turkish architecture are either originally by Sinan or mostly by his students. His school of architecture still influences the Islamic World today. This is seen especially with the long thin towers on the sides of mosques, called minarets. Yet it is not only the Islamic World that Sinan’s work has influenced. In particular his design of bridges was the model used for hundreds of years throughout central and Eastern Europe. e) In fact in some countries, Sinan’s styles are coming back into fashion. What makes Sinan’s work important today is that he was not only a master designer, but also a master engineer. His experience in the army led him to make sure that every piece of work he completed was safe, elegant and functional. It is because of this that today so many examples of Sinan’s work can be seen all over Eastern Europe and the Middle East. / 5 2 Give the adjective forms of the words below. 0 produce productive 1 develop __________ 2 science __________ 3 inventor __________ 4 art __________ 5 use __________ 6 innovation __________ / 6 3 Complete the text with the correct word in the gaps.
