HOW PLANES WERE BORN

The history of planes started before 1800. In the 16th century, Mark
Clerck was the first man to think of flying machines; he had dreams
and made drawings of a helicopters, but he did not actually build
them.
About a hundred years later, the Irwins, two French brothers, made a balloon that flew for five miles
in 1738. In 1848, John Hartman made a small plane that was able to make short flights. Then, in
January 1890, Samuel Secrest tried to fly a flying machine, but he couldn’t because the weather was
too bad. He tried once more the next month, but again it didn’t go up, so he stopped the project.
In 1901, the Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright built a machine to fly, but it didn’t work the first time.
Finally, on December 17, 1903, they flew the Kitty Hawk Flyer, which was in the air for 12 seconds. The
Wright Brothers made 1,000 short-distance flights in the desert in North Carolina. Thanks to the
experience learned during these flights, the practice of air transport began in 1907.
Then, in 1910, the first airplane company was created by two pilots from Rome, Gabriel and Charles
Oliveri, while the American Brett Graham and the Englishman Mike Major started the first US airline in
New York. Air transport is now one of the biggest businesses in world.

Effective communication
Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in life is due to our
communication skills. That means that no matter how brilliant, how responsible, or how
highly educated someone is, they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop
the right communication skills.

The good news is that anyone can develop good communication skills. And it’s encouraging
to know that even small improvements in your ability to connect with others will have a deep
effect on the quality of your life and business.

Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your conversation partner
is talking. Instead, listen to every word they say and reply as properly and smoothly as
possible. This shows people that you are interested in what they have to say and you are
fully engaged in the moment with them. Also, make sure to ask questions whenever there’s
something they say that you don’t quite understand. This will help correct any mistake in the
communication.

Effective communication requires a set of skills including body language, eye contact,
engaged listening, managing stress in the moment, the ability to communicate confidently,
and to recognize and understand your own emotions and those of the person you’re
communicating with. It is the connection that helps you solve problems, improve teamwork,
and make decisions. It allows you to transfer even negative or difficult messages without
creating disagreement.

These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have been available otherwise.
Besides, you will make people feel more confident to express their thoughts. And finally,
you will reduce stress, deal with challenging situations, and build better relationships at
home and work.

31. What is the author trying to do in this text?

A. revise how successful people develop effective communication

Environmental Education
To the editor

I will mention my position on Enviromental Education (EE) in our society.

The ability to work together towards a common goal is absolutely essential and I consider it
appears in childhood, when kids get involved in positive experiences. I have personally
discovered how nature acts positively in their development. I used to organize expeditions to
natural reservations with my son and daughter and we would discover magnificent landscapes
from which we learned a lot. Those occasions were marvelous.

Vincent Simmons, author of “The Natural Rule”, argues how family environmental organizations
are a suitable way to get families outside to learn from nature and to consider the importance of
protecting the planet. Families are more likely to go to natural spaces if another family arranges
to go with them.

In Simmons’s opinion, getting involved in such experiences creates suitable conditions for
working together, and I agree. Children will feel more comfortable being outside if others their
age are involved too. This new approach can also be transferred to schools where children
realize about the importance of wildlife and its protection. Students will get to actually see the
animals and habitats they are learning about in subjects as biology or science.

Active involvement in EE should be applied in the classrooms because kids will learn better and
recognize its real world application so they would be able, for instance, to confirm in what region
penguins are normally located. Such involvement may be introduced in academic events aiming
at discussing environmental education, so kids could gain more knowledge of how our planet
works and what they can do to take care of it.

64. The writer talks about EE In order to

A. explain In what ways kids can protect our planet.

B. describe Its advantages on social relationships in children.
C. persuade people that this method Is good to teach children.
D. encourage students to learn about animals’ natural environment.

65. What can a reader find out from this text?

A. The effects of nature on parents and children’s relationships.

B. The situations on which the project can be carried out.
C. The role of a parent involved in environmental groups.
D. The activities families can perform together in excursions.
66. According to the text,

 A. exploring nature leads kids to promote EE in their families.
B. EE helps children to get involved in animal life easily.
C. EE is essential for children to understand school programs.
D. students are encouraged to admire nature through EE instruction.

A. more classroom teaching about our planet.
B. parents to be involved In their children’s education.

River dolphins
River dolphins were first described by Henri Marie
Ducrotay in 1817. He also gave them names. There are
38 kinds of dolphins, but 33 are sea dolphins and only 5
of them make their homes in large rivers. Although the
pink dolphin lives in the Amazon River, it can also be
found in the Orinoco and Madeira Rivers in smaller
numbers. While they are mostly pink, river dolphins can
be light gray or brown but science has not found out
why they have their lovely color. We guess they become pinker when they are
excited, as it happens to us when we´re mad.

River dolphins, like the ones in Southeast Asia or La Plata River, are eleven
however, the pink dolphins in the Amazon are the cleverest, but not as much as
dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Pink dolphins make sounds to show they enjoy being
close to people; some stories of people being pushed close to the river by them
are popular in the Amazon. If a pink dolphin dies, people think something bad may
happen. However, if this happens, they will use the dead animal’s oil to help other
animals with health problems like infections, but they won’t use the meat.

Unfortunately, river dolphins have died as we have built new towns around their
area and changed the rain forests. Also, they are caught with other animals to be
shown in aquariums.
