THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
 The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San Francisco, California, and spans the Golden Gate strait - a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay. It is sure one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a bridge is the height of the towers). The bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. However their art deco project was not the first Golden Gate Bridge. The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of.
 The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before. It had the hightest towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built. The foundations were a real problem, because they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the sinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in 1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one year later). The bridge was finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated. Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each steel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches.
 "International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it because it blends well with the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes - in favour of greater visibility for passing ships. There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them.

 Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
 Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of fluting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
 Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
