Adele has been one of the world's most well-known singers and songwriters in

and she was mostly influenced by the Spice Girls. At the age of 16, Adele
composed her first hit song, "Hometown Glory".
When she was a student at the British School for Performing Arts and Technology,
she recorded three songs for a class project. All these songs later were posted on
MySpace.com and became very popular. As a result, she was offered a record deal
from XL Recordings after her graduation. Her first album "19" debuted at number
one on the British charts in 2008.
In March 2008, she did a short tour in America and soon her international career
began. In 2011, her second album, "21", came out. The music on this album was
different from the soul music of "19". It was influenced by American country
music, which Adele was listening to during her tour.
In 2012, she wrote and recorded "Skyfall" for the James Bond film of the same
name. The song sold more than two million copies worldwide and for it Adele won

Li-Fi Technology
Li-Fi technology is a new technology that transmits signals as light
instead of radio waves. In urban areas where Wi-Fi networks
become congested and there is a lot of noise in the signals, this
technology is something that can be of immense use to an individual.
The basic requirement of this technology is the available of light!
Light is also an electromagnetic wave like radio waves. The only
difference is that the former has the ability to transmit data almost ten
thousand times faster than latter! The basic process is quite simple to
understand. An LED light bulb, any one at all, can be flicked on and off
in order to be able to generate signals. A light sensor on a device picks
up the digital information sent by the LED, which enables it to be
processed by a computer.
The question is whether anyone wants to go through the
annoying experience of sitting under a flickering light bulb. This is the
interesting part. The technology is focusing on make sure that the light
bulb is flickered up to billions of times a second! At that rate, the
human eye simply cannot notice the light bulb being flicked on and off.
However, everything comes with a disadvantage. The major
disadvantage here is the fact that these signals cannot penetrate walls.
So if you want to move from one room to another, you will need to have
a wired bulb present in that room as well.
An Estonian startup company called Velmenni took the
technology out of the laboratories and brought it into the real-world
offices, and industrial environments in Tallinn for the first time.
Overall, this sounds like quite a development in the field of
communication technology.
Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T)
or false (F)
Question 31. Li-Fi is similar to the Wi- Fi except that it uses light
waves instead of radio waves.
Question 32. The speed generated by Li-Fi can be up to ten thousand
times greater than the average Wi-Fi
Question 33. No one wants to go through the annoying experience of
sitting under a flicking light bulb.
Question 34. It is convenient for you to use Li-Fi to transmit signals
when you move to various rooms in the building.
Question 35. The technology of Li-Fi has several of advantages in
theory, but we cannot put into practice.
