Model Answer Writing I think most tall buildings now are built to display wealth and wellbeing. Countries are competing to build the highest building. The Sears Tower was built in 1973. It held the record for the tallest building in the world for 25 years. That was when the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were built. Since then, many countries have tried to beat the record for the tallest building. This is kind of the battle among the countries that keep their national pride. A lot of countries build skyscrapers. They are used as offices. It is very expensive to build them. So, I think they need to make money. They do this by renting the offices to other companies. Some skyscrapers have the technical purpose. Without the Tokyo Tower, people would not be able to watch television or listen to the radio. Architects have been developing plans to make the tower even taller. This will enable the tower to broadcast TV and radio signals even farther. One country doesn’t hold the record for the tallest building anymore. Buildings just keep getting taller and taller.
