Harrods HAS BEEN the most famous shop in the UK for over a hundred years and today it is the third most popular tourist attraction in London (after Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament). It is the largest department store in the world and sells over 1.2 milion different items.

At first the shop have had only one room and HAVE SOLD only a few items of food, but after a few years it EXPANDED and STARTED to sell other goods as well. The store’s motto is “Everything for Everyone Everywhere” and over the last 150 years, Harrods HAVE SOLD many unusual items, including luxury cars, aeroplanes and various exotic animals. In 1967 , King Zog of Albania BOUGHT an elephant from Harrods as a gift for the president of the United States.

Henry Charles Harrod DIED in 1885 and since then the shop HAVE HAD a number of different owners. The current owner, Egyptian businessman Mohammed al-Fayed, BOUGHT the shop in 1985.

Exercise 2                                                                                                                          

A recent survey HAS SHOWN that Chinese is the UK’s favourite take-away food. Indian food, which HAS BEEN one of the UK’s official national dishes for many years, is our second favourite take-away. Of the 5000 people in the survey, 44% said they preferred Chinese food, with only 24% preferring Indian food. Surprisingly, fish and chips and pizza are less popular with only 14% and 13% of the votes.

The reason for ordering a take away meal is being too tired or not wanting to cook. “ When you HAVE BEEN WORKING hard all day, the last thing you want to do is cook dinner”, explained survey participant Gary Hill. “It’s much easier to pick up the phone and order something”.

But for others, having a take-away is a ritual. “We HAVE BEEN HAVING pizza every Friday night for about ten years”, says mother-of-four Beverly Stringer. “It’s our end-of-the-week treat, but only if the kids HAVE BEEN well-behaved”.

Exercise 4

Penicillin

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by accident while he was conducting an experiment. He was growing some bacteria in a petri-dish when he noticed a strange mould that appeared to be killing it. The bacteria became contaminated because one of his assistants had forgotten to replace the lid of the petri-dish the night before.

The wheel

People had been using a horizontal “potter’s wheel” to make ceramics for hundreds of years before somebody turned the same circular shape on its side and used it to create a means of transport. This was in about 3200 BC. Incredibly, the wheel had been in use for about 5000 years before the invention of the train and the bicycle in  the mid-1800s.

 

 

 

Exercise 5

 

Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon’s surface early today. The spectacular moment came after he had descended the ladder of the lunar module Eagle, while his colleague Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin had watched from inside the craft.

The landing, in the Sea of Tranquillity six hours earlier, had been near perfect and the astronauts on board later reported that they were having no difficulty in manoeuvring the module in the moon’s gravity and that the module was suffering no damage during the landing. The very first words from the moon came from Aldrin: “Tranquillity base. The Eagle has landed”.

During the landing, there were tense moments back on earth while the controllers at mission control in Houston were waiting for radio contact to be re-established with the astronauts. When the news of a safe landing finally came, the room was erupting with shouts and cheers.

American president Richard Nixon, who had been watching the events on television, described it as “one f the greatest moments of our time”.
