WRITTEN PRODUCTION EXCERCICE

3. In 5 lines write your opinion about the text ( en 5 lineas de su opinion sobre el texto )
It is curious to know in depth the subject of electricity and why, in my opinion, it is a subject that is very
neglected, the basics are explained to us at school but never the process of how an idea revolutionized
 the world. we think beyond all theory, what would have happened to the world today if electricity did
not exist?
We would probably advance at a slower pace or why not think that we would advance otherwise? They
are unknowns that we ask ourselves but that there is no answer.

4. Write 5 questions abou the text, and answer them with information from the text (escribe 5
preguntas sobre el texto y respondalas con informacion del texto)

1) ¿What is electricity?
 A natural pro'Etty of every object in the Universe

2) ¿What did the first electricity experiments refer to?

 To static electricity

3) ¿In which century was the phenomenon known as “Newton’s Rings” known?
 In XVII century

4) ¿What is "Leyden Jar"?

 A primitive accumulator of electricity.

5) ¿Who discovered that materials had different degrees of conductivity?

 Cavendish and Coulumb.

ORAL PRODUCTION EXERCISE

En este ejercicio solo deberá hacer lectura del siguiente fragmento, procure consultar pronunciación con
antelación.

History of Electricity

Electricity is a natural property of every object in the universe. In other words, it has always been there, but it
was not an easy element to discover. The ancient Greeks made references to electrical phenomena. They
identified magnetism and static electricity. The issue apparently made no further progress until the 13 th century
when magnetism and other electrical phenomena became the object of systematic observation and development.

The early awareness and experiments with electricity referred to static electricity, and it was closely associated
with the study of light. In the seventeenth century Robert Boyle discovered the phenomenon known as
"Newton's rings", a set of capricious rainbow images that appear in the layer of air between two glass plates .

A few years later Sir Isaac Newton became interested in these observations and proposed that light was related
with the "movement of something", demonstrated that white light is a mixture of "lights" of different colors,
those of the rainbow, and identified primary colors. The "movement" theory was later explained both as a
"wave theory", which prevailed throughout the rennaissance, and later by the more advanced "corpuscular"
theory that suggests that light is a stream of minuscule bodies called "photons". Today both theories are still
considered valid. Despite these advances, the understanding of electricity itself was still very vague.
