John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left
their small flat for an old 40metrehigh castle tower. They have spent five years turning it
into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
‘I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world.
If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I
don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!'
'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very
good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags
of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we
couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we
really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'
'Living here can be difficult yesterday I climbed a fourmetre ladder to clean the
windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day,
and that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we moved.'

High school students from Southeast Asia protect the environment with inventions that
challenge the present situation. They presented their research at the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair. (ISEF)
The team of Thailand presented its research on using
Fish scales to create plastic were items such as bowls and plates, with no trace of fish odour in
2011. The team also found out that the material completely breaks down in about 28 days when
buried in soil, and does not harm creatures that live in the dirt. In comparison, conventional plastic
products release toxins during the manufacturing process and during disposal.
The Vietnamese team proposed using solar energy and vacuum techniques to power the
desalination process in 2012. Conventional desalination methods are expensive affairs as they tend
to consume vast amounts of electricity and fuel. In contrast, solar energy is an inexhaustible and
renewable energy source.
The Indonesian team built a “Green Refrigerant Box” in 2014 that, instead of running on
electricity, used a handoperated vacuum pump made from plastic soft drink bottle. The idea was
formed because the students’ hometown in rural South Sumatra frequently experiences power cuts,
constantly shutting down electrical appliance.
Biowaste materials such as mangosteen skin can be used as a substance to dye cotton fabric,
together with onion skin extract. The project of Malaysian students in 2014 not only replaced the
usage of hazardous chemical dye with biowaste material, but also helped recycle biowaste itself.
Task 1: What is the most suitable title of the whole passage?
A. Unusual but very clever inventions from Southeast Asian high school students.
B. Changing the world with your awesome inventions in the upcoming ISEF
C. Exciting inventions from a new generation of student inventors around the world.
Task 2: Find the words or expressions in the text which have the following meanings.
1. a smell, often one that is unpleasant.
2. living things
3. the removal of salt from sea water
4. that cannot be used up
5. a substance taken from a plant
6. dangerous
Task 3: Answer the questions about the passage.

LiFi Technology
LiFi technology is a new technology that transmits signals as light instead of radio waves. In
urban areas where WiFi networks become congested and there is a lot of noise in the signals, this
technology is something that can be of immense use to an individual. The basic requirement of this
technology is the available of light!
Light is also an electromagnetic wave like radio waves. The only difference is that the former
has the ability to transmit data almost ten thousand times faster than latter! The basic process is quite
simple to understand. An LED light bulb, any one at all, can be flicked on and off in order to be able to
generate signals. A light sensor on a device picks up the digital information sent by the LED, which
enables it to be processed by a computer.
The question is whether anyone wants to go through the annoying experience of sitting under a
flickering light bulb. This is the interesting part. The technology is focusing on make sure that the light
bulb is flickered up to billions of times a second! At that rate, the human eye simply cannot notice the
light bulb being flicked on and off.
However, everything comes with a disadvantage. The major disadvantage here is the fact that
these signals cannot penetrate walls. So if you want to move from one room to another, you will need
to have a wired bulb present in that room as well.
An Estonian startup company called Velmenni took the technology out of the laboratories and
brought it into the realworld offices, and industrial environments in Tallinn for the first time.
Overall, this sounds like quite a development in the field of communication technology.
Task 1: Match the word/ phrase in the left column with its definition in the right column, writing
the answer in each blank.
……….1. congested (adj)
A. go through something
……….2. immense (adj)
B. make electrical equipment start/stop working
……….3. flick something on/off (v)
C. too crowded and causing difficulties
……….4. penetrate (v)
D. extremely large in size and degree
Task 2: Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)
5. LIFi is similar to the Wi Fi except that it uses light waves instead of radio waves.
4. The speech generated by LiFi can be up to ten thousand times greater than the average WiFi
5. No one wants to go through the annoying experience of sitting under a flicking light bulb.
6. It is convenient for you to use LiFi to transmit signals when you move to various rooms in the
building.
7. The technology of LiFi has several of advantages in theory, but we cannot put into practice.
8. It can be inferred that LiFi is ideal for high density coverage in a confined region.
