Read the following paragraph, then choose the correct answers :
Since the invention of the mobile phone and the Internet, the world has become a different place. People are still sending messages and it usually takes only seconds to deliver them. But are we now forgetting how to communicate face-to-face? Without a doubt there are some challenges, but there are also examples of when the Internet has changed someone’s life for the better. 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!

Happier stories have also come to light. 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. In Jordan, there are over six million mobile phones in use by the population. But you can still send telegrams through the Jordan Post Company!

As a child, Jane loved reading books about a fictional character called Dr Dolittle, who could talk to animals. Perhaps this is what inspired her to go to Africa when she was in her 20s. Here she came across a scientist who asked Jane if she might want a job observing chimpanzees in the wild. She immediately said yes. She went with her mother to the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania to start her new job, and it was not long before she made out a group of chimpanzees in the trees around an area now called the Gombe Stream National Park.

As far as travel is concerned, Chinese is the most spoken language in the world, but as it is complex, it isn’t the ideal lingua franca.
