Mobile phones In April 1973, a man called Martin Cooper made the first call on a mobile phone in New York, USA. People were surprised to see a man talking o the phone while he was walking in the street! The mobile phone he was using was very different from today’s mobiles. Modern phones often weigh less than 100 grams. Early mobiles were not as light as phones today; they weighed about one kilogram. They were big too, so they were more difficult to carry around. The battery also didn’t last as long as it does today: it lasted only one hour! In December 1992, a computer engineer sent the world’s first text message. Also in the 1990s, phones became smaller and lighter, with colour screens, a camera and voicemail. For some people, the size and colour of the phone was as important as the way it worked Then, in 2003, people started making phones that could send emails. These became the most popular mobile phones. Today’s phones can take photographs that are as good as pictures from the best cameras. People can also use their phones to make and show films and use the internet. For some people, speaking on a mobile phone is the least important of its uses!

Values ‫قيم حياتية‬ Complete this advice about how to take care of your possessions Taking care of your possessions

Always keep your possessions with you. Don’t leave things on seats, for example. It is easy to leave your possessions on the bus or train if you cannot see them. Thieves are people who take things that don’t belong to them. They are usually interested in the most expensive things that you have. So when you are out, leave these things at home! Your home is the least dangerous place for your possessions. Never leave your bag or rucksack open. You must keep it closed, so your possessions will not fall on the floor. Hold your bag or rucksack in front of you, so that it is not as easy for thieves to take things from it. If you have an expensive camera or phone with you, put it inside your bag or rucksack. It will be safer there.
