BookⅪUnit1 Careers and skillsReadingthe article quickly and answer the following questions.does the author discuss in the articleyou give two examples of the so-called glamorous jobsjobs look dull but are actually very importantMin is thinking about her future has found an article about jobs around the world in a teen the article with her.So many jobs to choose fromby Dai LinglingThe last year of high school is a time for hard work and also a time for this time,you have to start thinking about the future and what ou want to do after this article,I am going to discuss some of the options available to you and whether popular careers,more unusual jobs or everyday jobs better suited to you.When choosing a career,you should consider all the aspects of a jobs may seem very dull but are very important to society,while others can appear very exciting but are acting but are actually very difficult and example is the so-called ‘glamorous job’of beinga model or an you like to be famous,wear diamonds,go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets or helicoptersIn reality,these people have to spend long hours travelling,with all their baggage packed in suitcases and trunks,and only a very small number of them are actors,actresses and models hold ordinary,less glamorous jobs,often working as waiters and waitresses,in order to support ,those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media have to be very thick-skinned to deal with all kinds of are also under huge pressure to appear young and actors and models are always on a diet,and many have painful surgery to make their faces and bodies look more does not seem that glamorous now,does itMaybe a career as a local grocer of flour-covered baker would be a better option.Other popular professions for young people include careers in law or people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person,but they do not consider the stress and pressure that come with these can be well-paid and interesting jobs,but you also have to work very long ,sometimes as a boss in the business world,you have to make difficult decisions that hurt people,and being a lawyer can involve facing tough moral issues.In contrast,some people find more unusual jobs that are better suited to their talents and few years ago,when I was hiking in the Grand Canyon National Park in the USA,I met a man who had a very unusal was living by a steam in a tent surrounded by technical equipment,and his only neighbours were the birds and squirrels in the nearby job was to check noise pollution in the park loved camping,and his job was like a holiday for was very easy to see that he enjoyed doing his are many other people doing unusul jobs,such as a beer taster at a brewery,who probably consumes one litre of beer per year,a person who designs fireworks displays and a person who tests rides for amusement these people love their jobs,which might not bepopular,but are interesting regardless.Similarly,many ordinary jobs may look dull,but they are as essential as water to our we go through our daily lives,we meet many different kinds of people-shop assistants,who sell us things in shops;drivers,who drive trams andd buses transporting us around the city;babers,who cut our hair in babershops,and cleaners,who clear up our jobs may not seem very attractive,but they are all example,if no one was to collect the rubbish,the steets would soon become very dirty and unpleasant,the number of rats would increase,and disease would people,who perform such ordinary but vital tasks,allow people to go about their daily lives.When you think about your future career,remember that some glamorous jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important.All of them together,through,help society function.Reading strategy:reading for opinion in a textAlmost very article reflects the opinions or views of its many cases,articles are aimed at persuading people or expressing personal view,such as those in a newspaper the text above,the author uses quite n egative languages to desvribe some vareers,.‘It does not seem that glamorous now,does it’and very positive language to describe some others,.‘These jobs may not seem very attractive,but they are all important’.It is clear that the author is biased in favou r of ordinary careers and dislikes some popular article is biased to some extent,so when looking at an article,readers should pay attention to what kind of language is used to discuss different things,find out the author's opinions,think caredully and decide whether they agree or not.Project Writing an essay about careersWhen choosing a career,it can be helpful to ask yourself questions about your interests and skills to help you decide what jobs would be most suitable for you.following is an Internet identifies your skills and interests,and gives you score to help youevaluate different career the quiz.What is your

Next,think about what they are going to ask about some of the questions you might be asked and how to best answer better yet,do practice interviews with a allows you to prepare good answers and means you won't have to answer questions off the top of your head during the interview.So now I want you to imagine that it's the day of the 't worry about the having butterflies in your stomach before the you've prepared properly,you'll feel 's not like a painful trip to the dentist,so there's no need to quake with fear.An interview is just a conversation between people,but first impressions are important,so gentlemen,make sure you've used your electric shaver or razor to give yourself a good shave that men and women could put some styling wax in their hair,and women can put some hairpins in theirs to keep their hair neat and 's also very important that you wear smart clothes that make you feel interview might last for thirty minutes or more,but the interviewer will begin to judge you as soon as he or she sees a pair of shorts and a vest is definitely not acceptable when you're going for an interview!When you arrive for your interview,make sure you are on time,or even a little bit late for an interview is one of the worst things you can interviewr will not listen to your explanation about how had the traffic was at the roundabout;there's never a good excuse for being .You should also use body language to express your head when you agree with something or wag your head when you don' your back straight and don't move around too ,the interview might think that you're nervous or uncomfortable.Listen closely to the questions the interviewer asks and answer them don't forget that an interview is a chance for you to learn more about the job,the company and the people who work questions will show that you're interested in the job.We're almost finished now,but don't think that there's nothing else you can do once the interview is should follow it up by writing to the company and thanking them for giving you the is not only a gesture o politeness,but also a final chance to sell yourself to the can also give you the edge over other candidates,so remember to check your spelling,punctuation and grammar.If you follow the advice I've given you today,landing an interview should be as easy as wish you all the best in getting the job you luck!Reading strategy:understanding incomplete sentences used for emphasis Incomplete sentences are those sentences missing a subject (noun),a predicate (verb) or both,as is the case when a sentence begins with a conjunction like and,or,so and general,incomplete sentences are to be avoided because they are grammatically ,sometimes an incomplete sentence can be used in a passage to emphasize an important point,.‘Or better yet,do practice interviews with a friend.’The transition to an incomplete sentence is not a smooth one,and this also helps bring readers' attention to it:‘So how I want you to imagine that it's the day of the interview.’Recognizing incomplete sentences can help us identify the important points of a passage,as well as the organization of it as a whole.Project Planning a gap yearMost young people who want to go university will go as soon as they graduate from high school,but it this the best thing to doIf you had the chance to take a year off between leaving school and going to university,would you do itDo you think this would help you get a better job once you finished your studiesthe following magazine article about British students who take a gap will help you prepare for your project.Mind the gapTraditionally,a student leaving school at eighteen would go straight to university and study for three or four years before joining the world of work and beginning the slow climb up the career ,this year,like last year and the year before,thousands of youngpeople will travel to every point of the compass and work on projects for up to a year before returning to the UK to enter could work as an English teacher in Vietnam or perhaps even work in a nature reserve protecting kangaroos in Australia or zebras in fact,these young people can now be found nearly everywhere in the world except the Antarctic.This year off between finishing school and starting university is known as a gap is more then just a long British government is now providing funds to some young people to help them take a gap year.Unitversities actively encourage students to take a year off before entering university,and more and more employers say they prefer to hire graduates who have taken a gap year rather than those who stay in the education system and go straight from school to university.The reason for this preference is gap year gives young people an opportunity to learn skills and gain life experience,which school or university cannot helps young people develop and grow.Last year,Carol Smith went from the UK to Brazil,where she worked on a project to help save the Amazon said,‘My friends always thought I was too delicate,but living away from home in such a remote place taught me to be more course,I missed home and only got letters through airmail,but I'd definitely recommend it,I feel like I really made a difference and helped conserve the rainforest.’Another student who chose to take a gap year,Daniel Jones,spent one year teaching in Ghana before retuning to the taught English and maths to poor students from rural found living among local people there to be challenging but rewarding.‘Families there are so poor that they didn't even have basic things like refrigerators or fact,they didn't have any night,we couldn't just hit a light switch;we had to use a flashlight or an old oil lantern to give us some living in such conditions,now I feel I'm ready to face challenges in the future.’Martin Johnson is from the UK and helped build a school in a poor part of said he wanted to learn how to deal with difficult situations.Explaining how they made most of the school's furniture,he said,‘We had some wood,nails,hammers,a few spades and a lot of hard-working people.’Martin said he had learnt a lot by working with the local people,‘I helped people harvest their crop s before they rotted,which was something I had never done was very special,being part of another culture.’For many students,a gap year teaches them how to work with a group of strangers and how to look after themselves without the help of family or are exactly the sort of skills employers are looking for.Nowadays,they expect young people to have more than just academic Biggins,the CEO of a major finance company,welcomes the extra experience that a gap year can bring to graduate trainees.‘We usually fin d that sutdent who have been on a gap year are more capable of working independently,and they tend to work better with colleagues from different backgrounds.’It is now widely accepted that a gap year is more than just a year away from is a time for personal growth and development,learning new skills and seeing life in a different students start university,they are enthusiastic and very well as having agood time and making new friends,doing a gap year may give students an edge in the job market.group is now going to talk about the benefits of a gap are then going to write an essay about what you think of going on a gap year,where you would go and what you would questions below will help you prepare for this essay.you think taking a gap year is a good ideaWhy or why notyou think there are any negative aspects to taking a gap yearIf so,what are

Sinclair bornwas Clive's first jobsocitey was Clive chairman ofCheng is doing a project about the secret of the transcript of a radio programme he has heard about a succeccful person.Sir Clive Sinclair-----the man who brought technology to the man in streetToday's programme is about Sir Clive Sinclair,the famous British businessman and was born in Surrey,England,on 30 July spent much of his childhood with his grandfather and father,who were both a result,he began designing and making things when he was very a child,Sinclair invented the calculator and was saddenedto discover that it had alrealdy been was blessed with brains and spent much of his time educating the time he was ten years old,his teachers said that he was already so good at geometry,algebra and arithmetic that they could not teach him any more studied at several high schools and colleges and eventually decided that university would teach him nothing ,at the age of 17,he got a job as an assistant editor for a magazine called Practical Wireless.In 1961,Sinclair registered his own company,which was going to produce pocket-sized ,his financial parter withdrew and the company folded,so Sinclair quickly found himself a job as a technical editor to support year later,he restarted his company that had earlier 's big picture was to produce in bulk and to sell cheaply so that everyone coud afford electronic soon as he advertised,the company was fooded with demands for the little,cubic-shaped radios.The pocket-sized radios are just one example that shows how talented Sinclair was at making little also launched the world's first pocket calculator in 1962,the first digital watch in 1976 and the first pocket TV the following new years later,in January 1980,Sinclair showed off the ZX80 computer at a booth in an exhibition at Wembley computer cost less than ￡this,only one company had launched a home computer at ￡700 each,which was very expensive at that the end of eight months,Sinclair had sold more than 20,000 ZX80 computers,making ti a real company expanded rapidly,and he even had to open a new centre in the USA to cope with the increased then intorduced the ZX Spectrum computer in marketed as a computer that could be used to help computer programming,the main advantage of this computer was that it was good for playing computer games on.During the 1980s,Sinclair first studied Economics at Cambridge University and then taught Electronic Engineering at different ,during that time,his career underwent a downward slide after he launched the Sinclair C5 small three-wheeled,battery-powered car did not need a tank filled with gallons of petrol for energy like most vehicles,and so ti was better for the ,it looked a bit unusual,being very small and having a strange oval 's new invention was laughed at in the newspaper,and it was shown in pictures next to a caption calling it a ‘washing machine on wheels’.Sinclair's reputation suffered as a result,but he is still respected for his earlier success.Sinclair has been an inventor and a businessman,and he was also chairman of British Mensa (the High IQ Society) from 1980 to is a society for bright people,and it aims to create a platform for these people to share their thoughts and Sinclair joined in 1959,menbership was falling,and the socitey was on its last uesed his fame to make Mensa an organization people respected and wanted to advertised widely and personally paid for an annual Mensa conference at 's membership figures boomed under his leadership skills and strength of personality made the society an incredibly well-known organization.Sinclair has been successful because he possessed a combination of intelligence and determination that allowed him to realize his dream of making electronic goods available to was honoured in 1983 with a knighthood from the Queen of England in recognition of his efforts and has had a full and interesting life,and I hope that you have enjoyed his story in today's programme.Reading strategy:understanding sub-topicsWhen reading an article or an essay,it is important to realize that the text focuses on one main topic on ,within the text,there are usually many different paragraphs in which sub-topics are sub-topics relate to the main topic,but each focuses on one specific sub-topic is supported by examples such as facts,figures,dates and main topicof the article is Sir Clive Sinclair's life and sub-topics deal with different aspects of this main example,the third paragraph of this text has the topic sentence‘Clive was very talented at ma king little things’,and it is supported by examples of his invention of miniature things:pocket calculator,digital watch and pocket sometimes do not realize what a sub-topic is until we read the supporting example.Project Writing and making a speechBeing a successful individual does not just mean you have achieved fame and do not have to be rich or famous to be are many successful people in

Other popular professions for young people include careers in law or business.Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person,but they do not consider the stress and pressure that come with these jobs.These can be well-paid and interesting jobs,but you also have to work very long hours.Also,sometimes as a boss in the business world,you have to make difficult decisions that hurt people,and being a lawyer can involve facing tough moral issues.In contrast,some people find more unusual jobs that are better suited to their talents and interests.A few years ago,when I was hiking in the Grand Canyon National Park in the USA,I met a man who had a very unusal job.He was living by a steam in a tent surrounded by technical equipment,and his only neighbours were the birds and squirrels in the nearby trees.His job was to check noise pollution in the park zones.He loved camping,and his job was like a holiday for him.It was very easy to see that he enjoyed doing his job.There are many other people doing unusul jobs,such as a beer taster at a brewery,who probably consumes one litre of beer per year,a person who designs fireworks displays and a person who tests rides for amusement parks.All these people love their jobs,which might not be popular,but are interesting regardless.Similarly,many ordinary jobs may look dull,but they are as essential as water to our society.As we go through our daily lives,we meet many different kinds of people-shop assistants,who sell us things in shops;drivers,who drive trams andd buses transporting us around the city;babers,who cut our hair in babershops,and cleaners,who clear up our rubbish.These jobs may not seem very attractive,but they are all important.For example,if no one was to collect the rubbish,the steets would soon become very dirty and unpleasant,the number of rats would increase,and disease would spread.These people,who perform such ordinary but vital tasks,allow people to go about their daily lives.When you think about your future career,remember that some glamorous jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important.All of them together,through,help society function.Reading strategy:reading for opinion in a textAlmost very article reflects the opinions or views of its author.In many cases,articles are aimed at persuading people or expressing personal view,such as those in a newspaper column.In the text above,the author uses quite negative languages to desvribe some vareers,e.g.‘It does not seem that glamorous now,does it’and very positive language to descri be some others,e.g.‘These jobs may not seem very attractive,but they are all important’.It is clear that the author is biased in favour of ordinary careers and dislikes some popular careers.any article is biased to some extent,so when looking at an article,readers should pay attention to what kind of language is used to discuss different things,find out the author's opinions,think caredully and decide whether they agree or not.Project Writing an essay about careersWhen choosing a career,it can be helpful to ask yourself questions about your interests and skills to help you decide what jobs would be most suitable for you. A.The following is an Internet quiz.It identifies your skills and interests,and gives you score to help you evaluate different career plete the quiz.What is your ideal job?Read each item and circle the one/ones which describes/describe what you think or like to do.For each item,you can choose more than one answer.There are no right or wrong anwers.1.I would rather_____a fix or mend thingsb solve maths problemsc draw or paintd lead a group discussione sell things or promote ideasf set up systems on a computer2.I am______a practicalb curious about many thingsc creatived friendlye self-confidentf well organized3.For a hobby,I prefer______a playing sportb reading booksc taking photographsd watching sporte being in a debating societyf collecting things4.I like to_____a build thingsb do lab experimentsc design thingsd play team sportse meet important and famous peoplef organize things5.I can______a operate tools and machines easilyb use a computer easilyc sing,act or dance weilld work well with otherse give good speechesf keep accurate records6.I like to______a be around animalsb solve problemsc use my imaginationd work with people to help theme work with people to make moneyf work with dataNow look at your answer and figure out how many times you have chosen. a=___ b=___ c=___ d=___ e=___ f=___The letters represent different tyes of people.Find the letter which you chose the most often and look at the description which corresponds with it below.This will tell you what type of person you are and what careers would probably suit you best.If there was no one letter clearly chosen most,look at the two most frequently chosen.Realistic(The doers)These people have practical or athletic abilities and prefer to work with objects,machines,plants and animals or to be outdoors.

answer the following questions.1.What is the lecture transcript about?2.How many parts does the interview process have?3.What should you do to increase your chances of success in an interview?B.A professor is giving advice on how to succeed in an interview.Read the transcript below and find out how to improve your performance in a job interview.Tips for job interview successGood morning,everyone.Today,I'll be talking about how to get the job you really want.We're going to look at what you should do if your application is successful and what to do if you're asked to go for an interview.Before we go an further,it's important to make sure you understand what an interview is and why it's arranged.An interview is a talk between an employer and a potential employee.It's set up so that the interviewer can assess the interviewee and see if he or she is suitable for theposition.However,this is not an interview's only puipose.It also provides an opportunity for the job candidates to find out more about the job and company,and to ask themselves,‘Is it right for me’When we look at the interview process,we can split it into threeparts:first,preparation;second,the interview itself;and finally,what youshould do after the interview.Let's look at the first part-reparation.This is the key to getting the job you want,even if you're just applying for a position as a typist.Find out as much as you can about the company.Most companies have a website that tells you most things you need to know.A good interviewer is able to tell very quickly if you've done your homework about the company,so make sure you have!Next,think about what they are going to ask you.Think about some of the questions you might be asked and how to best answer them.Or better yet,do practice interviews with a friend.This allows you to prepare good answers and means you won't have to answer questions off the top of your head during the interview.So now I want you to imagine that it's the day of the interview.Don't worry about the having butterflies in your stomach before the interview.If you've prepared properly,you'll feel confident.It's not like a painful trip to the dentist,so there's no need to quake with fear.An interview is just a conversation between people,but first impressions are important,so gentlemen,make sure you've used your electric shaver or razor to give yourself a good shave that morning.Both men and women could put some styling wax in their hair,and women can put some hairpins in theirs to keep their hair neat and tidy.It's also very important that you wear smart clothes that make you feel confident.Your interview might last for thirty minutes or more,but the interviewer will begin to judge you as soon as he or she sees you.Wearing a pair of shorts and a vest is definitely not acceptable when you're going for an interview!When you arrive for your interview,make sure you are on time,or even a little bit early.Arriving late for an interview is one of the worst things you can do.The interviewr will not listen to your explanation about how had the traffic was at the roundabout;there's never a good excuse for beinglate.Ever.You should also use body language to express yourself.Nod your head when you agree with something or wag your head when you don't.Keep your back straight and don't move around too much.Otherwise,the interview might think that you're nervous or uncomfortable.Listen closely to the questions the interviewer asks and answer them carefully.And don't forget that an interview is a chance for you to learn more about the job,the company and the people who work there.Asking questions will show that you're interested in the job.We're almost finished now,but don't think that there's nothing else you can do once the interview is over.You should follow it up by writing to the company and thanking them for giving you the interview.This is not only a gesture o politeness,but also a final chance to sell yourself to the company.It can also give you the edge over other candidates,so remember to check your spelling,punctuation and grammar.If you follow the advice I've given you today,landing an interview should be as easy as pie.I wish you all the best in getting the job you want.Good luck!Reading strategy:understanding incomplete sentences used for emphasis Incomplete sentences are those sentences missing a subject (noun),a predicate (verb) or both,as is the case when a sentence begins with a conjunction like and,or,so and but.In general,incomplete sentences are to be avoided because they are grammatically incorrect.However,sometimes an incomplete sentence can be used in a passage to emphasize an important point,e.g.‘Or better yet,do practice interviews with a friend.’The transition to an incomplete sentence is not a smooth one,and this also helps bring readers' attention to it:‘So how I want you to imagine that it's the day of the interview.’Recognizing incomplete sentences can help us identify the important points of a passage,as well as the organization of it as a whole.Project Planning a gap yearMost young people who want to go university will go as soon as they graduate from high school,but it this the best thing to doIf you had the chance to take a year off between leaving school and going to university,would you do itDo you think this would help you get a better job once you finished your studiesA.Read the following magazine article about British students who take a gap year.It will help you prepare for your project.Mind the gapTraditionally,a student leaving school at eighteen would go straight to university and study for three or four years before joining the world of work and beginning the slow climb up the career ladder.However,this year,like last year and the year before,thousands of young people will travel to every point of the compass and work on projects for up to a year before returning to the UK to enter university.They could work as an English teacher in Vietnam or perhaps even work in a nature reserveprotecting kangaroos in Australia or zebras in Africa.In fact,these young people can now be found nearly everywhere in the world except the Antarctic.This year off between finishing school and starting university is known as a gap year.It is more then just a long holiday.The British government is now providing funds to some young people to help them take a gap year. Unitversities actively encourage students to take a year off before entering university,and more and more employers say they prefer to hire graduates who have taken a gap year rather than those who stay in the education system and go straight from school to university.The reason for this preference is simple.A gap year gives young people an opportunity to learn skills and gain life experience,which school or university cannot provide.It helps young people develop and grow.Last year,Carol Smith went from the UK to Brazil,where she worked on a project to help save the Amazon rainforest.She said,‘My friends always thought I was too delicate,but living away from home in such a remote place taught me to be more independent.Of course,I missed home and only got letters through airmail,but I'd definitely recommend it,I feel like I really made a difference and helped conserve the rainforest.’Another student who chose to take a gap year,Daniel Jones,spent one year teaching in Ghana before retuning to the UK.He taught English and maths to poor students from rural areas.He found living among local people there to be challenging but rewarding.‘Fa milies there are so poor that they didn't even have basic things like refrigerators or kettles.In fact,they didn't have any electricity.At night,we couldn't just hit a light switch;we had to use a flashlight or an old oil lantern to give us some light.After living in such conditions,now I feel I'm ready to face challenges in the future.’Martin Johnson is from the UK and helped build a school in a poor part of India.He said he wanted to learn how to deal with difficult situations. Explaining how they made most of the school's furniture,he said,‘We had some wood,nails,hammers,a few spades and a lot of hard-working people.’Martin said he had learnt a lot by working with the local people,‘I helped people harvest their crops before they rotted,which was something I had never done before.It was very special,being part of another culture.’For many students,a gap year teaches them how to work with a group of strangers and how to look after themselves without the help of family or friends.These are exactly the sort of skills employers are looking for. Nowadays,they expect young people to have more than just academic qualifications.Mr Biggins,the CEO of a major finance company,welcomes the extra experience that a gap year can bring to graduate trainees.‘We usually find that sutdent who have been on a gap year are more capable of working independently,and they tend to work better with colleagues from different backgrounds.’It is now widely accepted that a gap year is more than just a year away from studying.It is a time for personal growth and development,learningnew skills and seeing life in a different way.When students start university,they are enthusiastic and very motivated.As well as having a good time and making new friends,doing a gap year may give students an edge in the job market.B.Your group is now going to talk about the benefits of a gap year.You are then going to write an essay about what you think of going on a gap year,where you would go and what you would do.The questions below will help you prepare for this essay.1.Do you think taking a gap year is a good ideaWhy or why not2.Do you think there are any negative aspects to taking a gap yearIfso,what are they3.If you could go on a gap year,would you do it?4.What would you need to do to prapare for a gap year?5.What sort of help would you needWhere would you find this help6.Where would you like to goWhy7.What sort of project would you like to doWhy8.Do you think this would have a positive effect on your future careerWhy or why notUnit3 The secret of successReadingA.Read the radio transcript quickly and answer the following questions1.When was Clive Sinclair born?2.What was Clive's first job?3.What socitey was Clive chairman of?B.Li Cheng is doing a project about the secret of success.Read the transcript of a radio programme he has heard about a succeccful person.Sir Clive Sinclair-----the man who brought technology to the man in streetToday's programme is about Sir Clive Sinclair,the famous British businessman and inventor.Sinclair was born in Surrey,England,on 30 July 1940.He spent much of his childhood with his grandfather and father,who were both engineers.As a result,he began designing and making things when he was very young.As a child,Sinclair invented the calculator and was saddened to discover that it had alrealdy been invented.Sinlair was blessed with brains and spent much of his time educating himself.By the time he was ten years old,his teachers said that he was already so good at geometry,algebra and arithmetic that they could not teach him any more maths.He studied at several high schools and colleges and eventually decided that university would teach him nothing new.Therefore,at the age of 17,he got a job as an assistant editor for a magazine called Practical Wireless.In 1961,Sinclair registered his own company,which was going to produce pocket-sized radios.Unfortunately,his financial parter withdrew and the company folded,so Sinclair quickly found himself a job as a technical editor to support himself.A year later,he restarted his company that had earlier folded.Sinclair's big picture was to produce in bulk and to sell cheaply so that everyone coud afford electronic goods.As soon as he advertised,the company was fooded with demands for the little,cubic-shaped radios.The pocket-sized radios are just one example that shows how talented Sinclair was at making little things.He also launched the world's first pocket calculator in 1962,the first digital watch in 1976 and the first pocket TV the following year.A new years later,in January 1980,Sinclair showed off the ZX80 computer at a booth in an exhibition at Wembley Stadium.The computer cost less than £100.Before this,only one company had launched a home computer at £700 each,which was very expensive at that time.By the end of eight months,Sinclair had sold more than 20,000 ZX80 computers,making ti a real hit.The company expanded rapidly,and he even had to open a new centre in the USA to cope with the increased demand.Sinclair then intorduced the ZX Spectrum computer in1982.Although marketed as a computer that could be used to help computer programming,the main advantage of this computer was that it was good for playing computer games on.During the 1980s,Sinclair first studied Economics at Cambridge University and then taught Electronic Engineering at differentuniversities.However,during that time,his career underwent a downward slide after he launched the Sinclair C5 car.This small three-wheeled,battery-powered car did not need a tank filled with gallons of petrol for energy likemost vehicles,and so ti was better for the environment.Unfortunately,it looked a bit unusual,being very small and having a strange ovalfront.Sinclair's new invention was laughed at in the newspaper,and it was shown in pictures next t o a caption calling it a ‘washing machine on wheels’.Sinclair's reputation suffered as a result,but he is still respected for his earlier success.Sinclair has been an inventor and a businessman,and he was also chairman of British Mensa (the High IQ Society) from 1980 to 1997.Mensa is a society for bright people,and it aims to create a platform for these people to share their thoughts and ideas.When Sinclair joined in 1959,menbership was falling,and the socitey was on its last legs.Sinclair uesed his fame to make Mensa an organization people respected and wanted to join.He advertised widely and personally paid for an annual Mensa conference at Cambridge.Mensa's membership figures boomed under his leadership.His leadership skills and strength of personality made the society an incredibly well-known organization.Sinclair has been successful because he possessed a combination of intelligence and determination that allowed him to realize his dream of making electronic goods available to everyone.He was honoured in 1983 with a knighthood from the Queen of England in recognition of his efforts and achievements.Sinclair has had a full and interesting life,and I hope that you have enjoyed his story in today's programme.Reading strategy:understanding sub-topicsWhen reading an article or an essay,it is important to realize that the text focuses on one main topic on theme.However,within the text,there are usually many different paragraphs in which sub-topics are explored.These sub-topics relate to the main topic,but each focuses on one specific idea.Each sub-topic is supported by examples such as facts,figures,dates and reasons.The main topicof the article is Sir Clive Sinclair's life and inventions.The sub-topics deal with different aspects of this main topic.For exam ple,the third paragraph of this text has the topic sentence‘Clive was very talented at making little things’,and it is supported by examples of his invention of miniature things:pocket calculator,digital watch and pocket TV.We sometimes do not realize what a sub-topic is until we read the supporting example.Project Writing and making a speechBeing a successful individual does not just mean you have achieved fame and fortune.You do not have to be rich or famous to be successful.There are many successful people in the world who have achieved a different kind of success.A.Read the following transcript of a speech which came first at a Fahter's Day Speech Competition.It will help you when you prepare your speech about a successful person you admire.My father,my heroI consider my father to be the most important person in my life.This is not because he is famous or wealthy.We do not have a big car,and there are no old,expensive vases or paintings in our house.Rather,what I value about my father is the care and love the shows for me and my family.What makes my father happy is being able to put a loaf of bread on the table,bedding and quilts on our beds and roof over our heads.My father might work hard,but he is always there for us.Whenever I trip on the mat or carpet or hurt myself playing sports,he's there to pick me up.My brother and I grew up with his constant care and the funny nursery rhymes and stories he told us.My father's family came ti the USA from China,and they were quite poor when he was a child.He once told me his mom used pins to hold his shirt together when he went to school.When he was only fourteen years old,he had to leave school and start working because my grandfather died,leaving no money and a big family behind.If he had not worked,there would have been no one to support the family.When my mother and father got married,they did not have much money.The situation got worse when they had children.When we were very young,my father had an extra job as a porter,and he also mopped the floor of a hotel every night so that he could give us a special treat or a vacation.At the start of last year,my father began putting at least fifty cents every day into a jar on a shelf in his bedroom.We all wondered what he was saving the money for,but the refused to tell us.Then,in December,I noticed that the jar was empty.That evening,my father came home with some great Christmas present,including candy,balloons and a huge hen for our Christmas presents,including candy,balloons and a huge hen for our Christmas dinner.It was the best Christmas ever.My father also helps our local community.As chairman of the community center,he has set up a committee to help elderly people in the area.This committee arranges for people to cook healthy food like bean curd and。
