Before starting the new topic of our lesson I propose your to fill the mind map:

 

 

Your homework was to find the translation of sayings of famous people

 

1) Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. (T. Edison)( 1 %-натхнення та 99% поту)

2) You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself. (Galileo)

3) It is better to understand a little, than to misunderstand a lot.

4) Wonders are many and nothing is more wonderful than man. (Sophocles)

5) We know what we are but we know not what we may be. (Shakespeare)

6) Imagination is more important than knowledge. (A. Einstein) 

7) Men learn while they teach.

8) Train hard, fight easy.

9)  Necessity is the mother of invention.

I propose to take the last quotation as the moto of our lesson. May be somebody guess the topic of our lesson?

 

The topic of our today’s lesson is “The most important inventions of the mankind”. So you’ll learn a lot of useful information about achievements of scientists from different countries. You’ll also have plenty of practice in reading, writing, speaking .

 Nowadays we can even say that “Comfort is the mother of invention” because various inventions in electronics, transport etc. make our life easier and more comfortable.

Text for group 1

 

In 1973, Martin Cooper changed the world, although he didn't know it yet.

Cooper and his team at Motorola, the communications company, created maybe the only thing that runs the lives of business professionals and teenagers alike -- the cell phone.

It was the size of a brick and wasn't commercially sold for another decade. But as Cooper demonstrated on a New York sidewalk, it worked.

Cooper wanted people to have freedom to talk on the phone away from their cars.

Motorola spent three months building a prototype for a portable, mobile handset that Cooper publicly demonstrated in April of 1973. The company's first commercial cellular phone, the "DynaTAC," went on sale 10 years later.

 

When was the Martin Cooper born?

What did he invent?

What was the first cell phone like?

 

runs the lives of business professionals and teenagers alike – робить життя професіоналів та підлітків схожим

the size of a brick – розміром з цеглу

sidewalk – ярмарок

to have freedom to talk – мати свободу при розмові

portable - переносний

Text for group 3

James Murray Spangler (1848 - 1915) is known as an inventor of a first portable vacuum cleaner. James worked as a sweeper at the Zollinger Department Store in the Folwell Building. The problem was that he was asthmatic. Dust that sweepers he used made irritated his lungs, and he decided to find a solution to that problem. He decided to make an electric carpet sweeper. In 1907, he made a first variant for which he used a mechanical carpet sweeper as a base. 

 And his invention worked! He used it to clean Folwell Building, his asthma receded and at last, he had an invention that he could sell. He continued to improve it and finally patented it on June 2, 1908.
