After an earthquake we’d better provide first aid because family members and neighbours may be injured. ...

It also takes a lifetime of toil and perspiration to make an invention.
WRITE IT OUT (p.151)
Go through the tip box before you set the students to task.
Possible answer
The greatest name in the history of electrical research in the first half of the nineteenth century is that of Michael Faraday. His career furnishes a classical example of a poor boy who made good as a scientist. He was born in Newington, Surrey, England in 1791. Faraday was the third son of a poor blacksmith who moved to London to mend his fortunes. Faraday never went beyond elementary grades in school. He dropped out and was apprenticed to London bookbinder at an early age. Endowed with the curiosity that is the characteristic of the true scientist, young Michael started to read some of the books he was binding. He saved money to attend lectures on science. Later, he worked as a laboratory assistant to Sir Humphry Davy, one of the famous scientists at the time. His duties included bottle washing and other disagreeable chores. Sir Humphry Davy was jealous, so Michael quitted his job and spent the rest of his time doing research and teaching.
8485
Faraday married Sarah Barnard, a Silversmith daughter who was a devoted wife. He became a professor of chemistry in 1833. He discovered the principle of the dynamo, and then the radio waves in 1845. He studied electrolysis and introduced scientific terms such as “anode” and “cathode”. Though Faraday’s electrical discoveries represent his chief contributions to science, he also did important work in chemistry.

Confidential report
Introduction:
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the performance of Leila Derradj, Production Manager of Autocar, during the year 2005. The report details the decisions that Leila Derradj took month by month in several areas.
Findings:
Leila Derradj was appointed on 2 January, 2005 so that she would help increase production.
In February, she re-organized the department so as to have more control on the staff and the work to be done. In March, she introduced break time for workers on the assembly line so that they could improve production. She introduced also a flexible time scheme for female employees of the company. In April, she put suggestion boxes in order that workers might give their opinion on the company. On June, she held a meeting with the workers so that they could participate in decision-making. Finally she introduced new items in work contract for workers...
Conclusion:
Leila Derradj’s decisions have led to a new management style. The annual turnover has increased steadily. There has been a peak in productivity and sales have increased considerably which has made profits reach a sharp rise.
I therefore strongly recommend to maintain Miss Leila Derraj in her position as production manager of Autocar.
