امتحان وحدة اولى اللغة الانجليزية- علي الدقامسة

1. Question One:-

   In ancient times, they used smoke signals and after writing developed. In 1956, Ake Viking, a Swede, tossed a letter into the sea, hoping it would reach his future wife. Two years later, he received a letter from a Sicilian girl, Paolina, who had found his bottle and soon after they were married!

   The invention of the telegraph in 1837 sped up communication dramatically. A criminal, John Tawell, was caught after he had escaped on the train to London. A telegram was sent to the London police, and they were waiting for him when he arrived there.

   Since the invention of the mobile phone and the Internet, the world  has become a different place. Look at Tara Taylor’s case, a mother who lives in the USA: when she uploaded a photo of her daughter on social media, a friend spotted a problem with one of the child’s eyes. It turned out that the girl had a rare disease, but her sight was saved!
