Listening to the text “Match-Box Labels” (HO4)

Inflammable – that can catch fire and burn easily;

harmful – causing damage;

a substance – a type of solid, liquid or gas;

2. Listening to the text “Match-Box Labels”

Match-Box labels

Matches that we know were invented by a Hungarian called Irini and were first produced in 1835. They were phosphoric matches and the inflammable head was very harmful causing an illness to the workers who made them.

In the years that followed scientists tried to find a substance to substitute the phosphorus head. Berger, a German chemist, found it in 1848. The first safety matches were produced in Sweden, hence the name "Swedish matches".

At first matches were sold in tin boxes. Wooden boxes were used later, and with them labels appeared. They were strips of paper, which held the box together and bore the name of the factory that produced them. With the use of machines for making match-boxes the labels were glued to the boxes.

People began collecting match-boxes as soon as they appeared. During the past 100 years collecting match-boxes has become a very popular hobby. Now thousands of people in many lands collect them. The labels show not only the name of the factory, but also historic events, portraits of outstanding people, plants, animals, sports, etc.

IV Reading. “Bill Gates, The Software King”.

Bill Gates,

The Software King

Most of the computers in the world use software invented by Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Inc. of Redmond, Wash. Software is the set of programs that make computers — whether business or personal — perform various tasks.

Gates was born in Seattle, Wash., in 1955. As a boy, he was bright and curious. He was active in Scouting, reaching Life Scout rank in Troop 186. He especially loved hiking,, camping and other outdoor adventures.

But Gates was obsessed with computers. While a student at Harvard University in 1975, Gates and a friend', Paul Allen, developed a computer language for an early version of the personal computer. Microsoft was born. Gates went on to develop operating systems, such as MS-DOS, and software programs.

Thanks to Microsoft, Gates is now one of the richest men in America. He is worth more than $8 billion.

A technical wizard and a fierce business competitor, Gates sees great things ahead for computers. He says they "are really going to change a lot of things in the world — the way we work, the way we play and entertain ourselves and even the way we are educated."
