1. Where was the most recent tallest lego structure built? Who built it?

The lego tower was built in Budapest by official lego builders from Denmark and an elementary school.

2. What were the two requirements imposed by the Guinness World Records before a lego tower can be eligible for inclusion. 

The first one was that it had to be standing still, without wires. The other one is there is to be no adhesive on any of the bricks, they must be on their own, and able to pull apart.

3. Why does the author believe that a new lego tower world record will be broken soon?

Lego is an easy thing to get your hands on, so anyone can attempt this. All they need is a couple thousand lego blocks, a crane and patience. Many people attempt world records and ones that they can access easily they will try. The lego tower records have been broken 3 times in 2012 alone.

Critical thinking

What in your opinion make building "the world's tallest lego structure" so important.  

In my opinion building the world tallest lego structure is not important. It is cool that they managed to make a lego structure this big, I have tried to make a semi-tall lego tower and have never been able to make it over 5 cm. It would have taken a lot of dedication and I am inspired by the amount of effort they put in.

  1. You did well. Though I would say you could try sort out your paragraphs out more. An example would be in paragraph 2. Your last sentence should really be near the beginning. Besides that, I think you answered all the questions correctly and used good vocabulary when explaining each question.
