Mohammad Al-Khorezmi

_____________ was born in the 9th century. In 825 he wrote a book about arithmetic and described a system of numbers developed in India. Two centuries later the book was translated into Latin and his name was translated as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;algorithmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This word is now one of the most important words in science and maths. The word algebra also comes from the title of another famous book.

Europeans know him as Avicenna. He was born in 981 and died at the age of 56 in 1037. He was a scientist and a physician (doctor). His most famous books are the Book of Healing and the Canon of Medicine. The second book became the most important book for doctors across the world. It is even used today!

_____________ was born in Egypt in 1938 but he lives in the USA. He studied in the USA in the early 1960s and then worked on the Apollo Space program from 1967 until 1972.

Istanbul, in Turkey, is a great place to visit. There are ________ a lot of stores and restaurants. There are also (1)________ markets, mosques, and other beautiful places to visit. One problem, though, is that there is (2)________ noise and (3)_______ traffic. This means that there is also (4)_________ pollution and sometimes it can get really bad, especially in the winter. Another problem is that there isn’t (5)_________ public transportation and there aren’t always (6)_________ taxis, but two great ways of getting around are on one of the many ferries which go back and forth across the Bosphorus River, or by Dolmus (which means “stuffed”), a kind of minibus in which they pack in as (7)_________ people as they possibly can!

b Correct the errors. London is famous for its much historic buildings and museums. It really has much interesting architecture. There are also too many restaurants, shops, markets and parks, so there are always much places to go. The climate is really mixed and there is many rain but luckily there are too much things to do even when the weather is bad.

Strange jobs

i! My name’s Bob Hawkins. My friends and I are all college students but we want to earn a little extra money in our free time. Normal jobs like working at a fast-food restaurant or in a department store have regular schedules and we really don’t have time to work fulltime. Some of our jobs are just during our summer vacations too, so we have some very unusual jobs! My friend Will works as a monster at the local amusement park. He works in the haunted house and he has to jump out and scream when a visitor walks by. He only works on Sundays and holidays. He says the strangest part is when he goes out for a beef-burger. All the customers can’t stop looking at him in his Frankenstein suit. Tom works on his uncle’s farm in the summer. He looks at baby chicks and decides if they are boys or girls. Then he separates them into different boxes. I don’t know how he can tell the

difference, but he is an expert. Henry has a great job. His brother has a community newspaper and Henry is his “food critic”. All he has to do is eat at local restaurants and write a short review of the food. It’s a great job. Henry eats well and the newspaper pays for all the food. I work as a window washer in the summer. I’m not afraid of heights so I wash windows on tall office buildings. It isn’t really dangerous because we all wear safety belts.
