    This was a very interesting video! I was very interested with the Eiffel Tower topic, there were some really cool facts I learned form it. For example, I didn’t know that the architect of the Eiffel Tower also designed the inside of the Statue of Liberty! P.S I have seen the Eiffel Tower before, and it was COOL:) Also, I admire how Acellus is persuading kids to study more. This is very important in order to develop crucial life skills that can insanely boost your career!

    Great episode! I really enjoyed that story about the Eiffel Tower, it turns out that he was right in saying that it would become to France what the pyramids were to Egypt… I also love the idea of Universal English, and absorbing language concepts from other cultures so that everyone is represented and can better understand one other.
