People – the Great Communicators

What is special about human communication? What can we do?

1 __________________

We communicate with other people in different ways. Most people think about speech when they think about communication but there are many other ways to communicate with each other. We can talk and write, and we send messages with our hands and faces, with our touch and eye contact. There is also the mobile phone, social networks, and e-mail. Television, film, writing, painting, drawing and photography can also communicate ideas.

2 _________________

3 _______________

Communication technologies were very important in the development of all the great ancient civilizations:

• Around 2900 BC, paper and hieroglyphics transformed Egyptian life.

• The ancient Greeks loved the spoken word. They were very good at public speaking, drama, and philosophy.

• The Romans developed a unique system of government that depended on the Roman alphabet.

• In the 14th century, the printing press helped develop new ways of thinking across Europe.

4 _______________

Radio, film, and television have had a great influence on people in the last hundred years. And today we have the Internet. But what is this doing to us? We can give and get a lot of information very quickly. Now we can talk and write to our friends and family at any time, and in any place. But there is so much information that it is difficult to know what is important and what isn't. Modern media is changing our world every minute of every day.

5 _______________

Mobile phones save lives and increase business opportunities, but they also destroy the magic of the movies, interrupt meetings and make people angry in restaurants. Some people even take their mobile phones to funerals! The mobile phone bore leaves the phone on all the time and uses loud ringtones. Does he respect other people’s personal space? No, he doesn’t, he stands next to other people and talks about private matters in public. In fact, he doesn’t talk, he shouts, and he even answers the phone in restaurants and theatres. Do you use your mobile phone well?

Task 2

Read the text below. For questions (6-10) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

Professor Brian Cox

 16-year-old Nick Hall describes his favourite TV star

My favourite TV star, Brian Cox, didn't begin his career in Physics who studied the solar system or a TV reporter, but as a rock star. His music group “Dare” signed a record deal in 1986, and he recorded two albums with them. They also travelled around Europe with Gary Moore before the group stopped its work in 1992. It was a good time in his life.

Later he joined the music group “Dream”, whose song Things Can Only Get Better was very popular in many countries. He really enjoyed his rock career, but it wasn't where his true interest was. It was while he was in “Dream” that he started to get interested in Physics more. He got a First-class degree in Physics from the University of Manchester and a PhD in Physics in Hamburg.

He was given a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 2005, and in 2009 became a Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester. In 2010, he received an award from the British Queen for his scientific work.

He is best known to the public as the presenter of science programs for the BBC including Wonders of the Solar System. He really likes science, and his greatest love is the solar system. The universe has always interested him since childhood, and he wants to share this love with the next generation. He uses his programs to get everyone involved in science.

He has got many awards for his work. In 2002, he was chosen as an International Fellow of the Explorers Club and in 2006 he received the Lord Kelvin Award from the British Science Association for his work in bringing science to the public. In 2010, he won the Institute of Physics Kelvin Prize and in 2012 he was awarded the Michael Faraday Prize of the Royal Society.
