Special report: Welcome to the future

Robot suit
A Japanese company has been working on a robotic suit that could help the old and the disabled person. Comprised of robotic limbs and a backpack containing a battery and computer system. When the wearer tries to move tiny nerve signals in the skin are detected by HAL, and converted into moviments. So advanced is the technology that the company is already renting the robot suits. We assume that it is Japanese humour that made the company choose Cyberdyne Corporation as its name, a reference to the company responsible for the end of the world in the Terminator movies.


Electric cars
2009 was the year the world embraced the electric car. The reason this is not yet evident is that the technology won't be in place for another two years, but several countries are already investing in infrastructure to support the change. The boldest experiment is taking place in Israel, where a company called Better Plave has convinced the government to install 500000 electrical-charging points for cars. Planned to start in 2011, the system will use Renault-Nissan's new range of battery-powered vehicles. The innovative sapect of this system is that cars in need of charging can drive into a station where a robotic arm removes the battery and repleces in with a fully-charged one. The process will take about three minutes the time needed to fill a tank of petrol. China meanwhile, plans to dominate tha car industry of the future by producing cheap electrical cars through the company BTD Never heard of it? Remember that you saw it here first when you buy one...

Internet and books



The Internet has become important in the last 30 years. Before Internet was invented, to find information used to be more difficult. These days it is easy to find information thanks to Internet.
Books, on the other hand, are cheaper and have more information. They don't use electricity, so they don't pollute. But they don't have as much information as Internet. Internet, however, can not be much reliable.
All in all, I think that the books are better because they can contain more information about a specific topic, and they're more reliable.

The White House

The West Wing centre of power

The legendary Oval Office is not in the main part of the White Hose. Althrough is was the largest house in the USA when it was inaugurated in 1800, it wasn't long before it was too small to contain the work of government and be used as a home. The West and East wings were thus added, but even these are small and office space is tight for most of people in government. There are two indicators of status-how close your office is to the president and whether you have a window. But to have and office anywhere on the first floor of the West Wing, however small and airless, is to be at the pinnacle of power. The secret Service are in the basement as in the situation Room, the communication centre from which the president and the military operate in the event of a crisis.

Washington DC

Behind closed doors

The White House Congress and the Supreme Court, are not the only centers of power in Washington DC. The others are operated by an elite group of rich, well connected women known as hostesses. This hostesses rival each other every year to be the person whose house is used as the place where political alliances are formed and deals made. At any given moment, there will only be two or three hostesses of importance and they change over time.
To advance in American politics you have to have money... lots of it. The role of Washington hostesses is essential in that they invite the rich to dine with the powerful. The most famouse in recent years was Pamela Harriman an English socialite whose house was for a long time the spiritual centre of the Democratic Party. Her power was huge. When she held a reception for an unknown Southern polician called Bill clinton, it introduced him to the power brrokers of the party. In gratitude for that crucial sponsorship, Clinton made her US Ambassador to France when he became president.

2-WHERE DOES THE ACTION TAKE PLACE?
The action takes place in South Africa in 1995.

3-WHO'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY?
The president of the country is Nelson Mandela.

4-WHAT'S HE FIGHTING FOR?
Mandela is fighting to unite a diverse range of people

5-WHAT DOES WOUND AND HEAL MEAN?
Wound: Injury

6-CAN YOU FIND SENTENCES IN THE TEXT USING THESE WORDS?
-The wounds of so many years of apartheid are far from healed.

7-WHAT'S APARTHEID?
The racial segregation system imposed by the white minority for many years.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to enquire about festibal founds for a project in our town.
Banyoles is a small city in the north of Catalonia. There is a lot of parking in and around the town, but there are not parking places in the town centre. For that reason, we would like to built parking zones here. This parking could provide tourism and could reduce traffic.
I would be grateful if you could send me information about festival founds. If you have any questions about our project, contact me.

Yours faithfully,
