There is a list of interesting jobs that we'll never have again, and a town crier is, of course, on
the list. It’s been a long time since town criers worked professionally, so there are not many people
knowing who town criers were. Today we can only see them in the movies or at some old tourist
sites. Before newspapers were invented, a town crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a
booming voice, always dressed officially and had a little bell which he carried with him always. His
job was to go through city streets ringing the bell and shouting the latest news as he was walking.
The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio, television, texting, internet,
and all the marvels of modern technology. Today this occupation exists only for entertaining
purposes and as local folklore. Competitions for the best town criers are still being held in some parts
of the world like America, Australia, Canada and England.

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try we’ll never succeed. Instead of burning
fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be
produced from any sources of energy.
If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by
conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power,
tidal power, hydroelectric plants . . . our fossil fuels will run out and we'll all freeze or starve to death.
Many countries are spending much more time and money on research because the energy from the sun,
the waves, and the winds last forever. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer
sources of energy.

VI. Read the passage then finish the tasks below (1.5pt)
Solar power is energy from the Sun, which has been producing energy for billions of years, but only in recent
years this energy is being collected and changed into heat and electricity across the world.
The energy from the Sun has given power to all living things from humans or animals to other living organisms
through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place when plants use the Sun's energy to make their own food,
and then of course, all other living organisms eat the plants or animals receiving that energy indirectly from the
Sun.
However, collecting solar power to create electricity and heat is not easy like this. It requires solar panels which
are very expensive. Moreover, there are a couple problems with solar power collecting. Firstly, the amount of
sunlight will vary depending on location, time of day, year, and weather conditions. Secondly, the efficient way
to collect this energy is a difficult question which scientists are still working hard on.
In summary, solar power is a useful source of heat and electricity for the world, but there are some challenges to
overcome before it becomes the only source of energy for the world's needs.
A. Decide if the statements are True or False:
29. People have converted solar energy into electricity for a long time. _______
30. All living things in the world have been given energy from sunlight. _______
