READING
23 Read about these four inventions. Put the sentences A-H in the correct place in the text. There is one extra sentence.
A It might be difficult to look the ‘words’ up, though!
В And, because of the noise, everybody else knows too!
C Well, in the future, they may get much smaller.
D In seconds computer screening can match this to any similar photos held on their database.
E We all know that we shouldn’t eat too fast.
F But how will you talk back?
G Here are some that, in a few years, you may want to have in your home!
H This is why it is so useful.
WONDERFUL (AND NOT SO WONDERFUL) NEW INVENTIONS!
What is the most important invention ever? The wheel? Electricity? The computer? There are many important inventions and, in the future, there will be many more. 1) Here are some that, in a few years, you may want to have in your home!
THE NOISY KNIFE
2) We all know that we shouldn’t eat too fast.. But sometimes, we put the food in our mouths and it goes, without us really thinking about it. Well, this knife helps you to eat properly. As you cut your food, an alarm is set in the knife. If you cut another piece of food too soon, the alarm rings to tell you that you are eating too quickly! 3) And, because of the noise, everybody else knows too!
ANIMAL TRANSLATOR
The Americans are known for their animal beauty parlours, animal psychologists and animal cemeteries. They can now go one step further and talk to their animals. A company has spent years listening to dogs, cats, horses and other pets and has now released a dictionary with CD-ROM of animal, noises. 4) It might be difficult to look the ‘words’ up, though!
EAR PHONE
What’s the smallest mobile phone you know? 5 ) Well, in the future, they may get much smaller. German researchers are working
on a phone that can be put inside your ear. When a call comes in, only you will be able to hear it as it goes from the ear directly to your brain. 6) But how will you talk back?
SMART CAMERA
This camera is connected to a special Internet database. Whenever you take a photo, you can choose to send it for analysis. 7) In seconds computer screening can match this to any similar photos held on their database. If it finds a match, a message will be sent to you, telling you exactly what your photo is of. It could be the name of a plant, a translation of a street sign, it may even be able to tell you a stranger’s name.
GRAMMAR
24 Without looking into the text in Exercise 23 put prepositions in the following phrases. Then find these phrases in the text and check yourself.
to be known for sth
work on sth
to be connected s to th
a photo of sth
send sth for analysis,
match sth to sth
photos held on their database
without really thinking about it
25 Complete the sentences with the adjectives from the box in the right form.
bad
important
small
easy
far
I really don’t know what is the 1) the most important invention ever, but I think that the smart camera makes travelling 2) easier.
I don’t think I’d like to use the ear phone — the 3) smallest mobile phone in the world. I think it is bad for health, bad for the brain. Researchers say that using a mobile isn’t safe, and ear phone is probably even 4) worse.
As to the animal translator, I wouldn’t call it ‘one step 5) further ’, I’d say it’s going too far. You see, I’m a sceptic!
SPEAKING
26 Say what you will do if you have these inventions. Use if phrases.
If I have an ear phone, I won’t use my smart phone any longer.
27 Mime using one of these inventions. Then you repeat your pantomime and your partner describes your actions.
You are eating. You are eating too quickly. The alarm starts to ring. Now you start eating properly.
28 Compare these inventions. Which one of them is the most important and why?
29 Tell the class what you will or won’t do when you are parents. Use the words from the box.
miss the lessons, play computer games, watch TV, play football, go to bed late, make them cry, shout at them, help them with their school work, go to parties, invite their friends to stay, eat junk food
When I am a parent I won’t let my children eat too much convenience food.
