A Conversation for The Eiffel Tower
Boring,pedantic language things

1]Why does Radio tower have one upper case letter? If it, and the Observation Deck, are given capitals, why not the lamp?
Either Radio Tower, Observation Deck and Lamp or radio tower, observation deck and lamp.
2]"The base of the Eiffel Tower is 100 metres sq and is 320 metres tall" means the base is 320 metres tall without the radio tower. If this isn't what you mean say "The base of the Eiffel Tower is 100 metres sq and the total height is 320 metres"
3]There's also something odd about the last bit - "many salespeople wander with Eiffel Tower models of it of varying sizes" Take out "of it" so that it reads "many salespeople wander round with Eiffel Tower models of varying sizes.
Sorry to niggle, but they spoil a good article.

That's OK! I need to get these things right, I'm supposed to be a fairly good English student... only at GCSE though...
Thank you for the pointers!
