Emy Series Review A 3rd year sec 2011
Listening script:
Ahmed: hi, Omar.
Omar: hello, Ahmed.
Ahmed: did you see that television program last night about energy from the sea?
Omar: no, I didn’t. I had too much homework. Was it interesting?
Ahmed: yes, it was really interesting. It showed how electricity can be generated by waves.
Omar: that sounds like a good idea. How do they do it?
Ahmed: they use snakes.
Omar: snakes?
Ahmed: not real snakes! Snakes made of rubber.
Omar: really? How do they work?
Ahmed: well, this snakes are nine metres long. One end is attached to the sea bed. At the waves move, the snake goes up and down and this generates electricity.
Omar: nine metres! That’s very long, isn’t it?
Ahmed: yes, but in future, they’ll probably be 200 meters long.
Omar: that’s amazing!
Ahmed: they’re going to make wave farms with 50 or more snakes in one place.
Omar: really? Isn’t it dangerous for ships to have so many of these things in the sea?
Ahmed: yes, the snakes are just under the surface, so ships shouldn’t be permitted near the farms.
Omar: are they expensive to produce?
Ahmed: not really- the snakes themselves are very simple. There are hardly any moving parts, so nothing much can go wrong. And they produce cheap electricity.
Omar: that’s good, isn’t it? There will always be waves, so it means in the future, we will never run out of energy.

Reading Fast forward

You are driving your smart car along the motorway from Cairo to Aswan when something goes wrong with the engine. You do not know what the problem is, but the computer in your car will help you. It will examine the engine and find what is wrong. It will then connect to the Internet to find the distance to the nearest garage where your car can be repaired. The computer will then send an e-mail to the garage to check that it has the parts you need for your car. If the garage has these, you will receive an e-mail asking when you would like to take your car to be repaired. You will reply on your mobile phone which will e-mail your message to the garage. In this way, your car’s engine problems will be solved.
There’s also a device which will control how fast you can drive on the road you are on. It does not matter what you do, it will be impossible to drive faster than what the device tells the engine. Experts have found that this device will reduce the number of road accidents and save thousands of lives every year.
If this just a science fiction? No, both these devices are currently being used. You can find information about them on the Internet. Drivers all over the world are already using sat-nav systems to tell them where they are and how to get to a destination. In the future, technology will also help them to solve engine problems and to keep everyone safe.
