The Telephone
Most people know that Alexander Graham Bell was the inventor of the telephone
because he was first awarded the patent for an “apparatus for transmitting vocal or other
sounds telegraphically”. However, history also mentioned Johann Philipp Reis, Antonio Meucci
and Elisha Gray were among the people who should also be given credit for their work in the
same field.
Before telephone, telegraph was already used as a way of communication using Morse
code. However, only one message could be sent and received at one particular time. Bell knew
about sound and music well which enabled him to improve the telegraph and later, succeeded
in inventing the telephone. He and his partner, Thomas Watson, worked together in finding
4
ways to transmit human voice electrically. They carried out experiments to find how multiple
messages can be carried on a single wire. The final breakthrough was when Bell could hear
Test
a sound over the wire during one of his experiments. Then, using the device he called, “Mr.
Watson, come here, I need you.”
The early telephones were a far cry from what they are today. Technologies in the
telephone industry have changed so much that people nowadays are able to enjoy the benefits.
Now with the Internet and smartphones, we can communicate with people living on
the other side of the globe. Many of us shop in the comfort of our homes or get connected
with friends through social media. Although many people argue the negative impacts of the
telephone, its invention made changes in our lives. They do have both negative and positive
effects on our lives, but definitely they are going to stay.

Many people love flowers because they are not only beautiful but colourful,
too. Flowers become tourist attractions in some countries like Japan and Netherlands.
The attraction in Japan is the ‘sakura’ or the pink cherry blossoms while tulips are the
magnificent views not to be missed in the Dutch country.
In a plant, a flower has a function of its own. It is supposed to attract bees, butterflies
and small birds. The birds and the insects are agents that help the plant to reproduce new
plants through pollination. During pollination, the insects and birds transfer the pollen of
the flowers from the anther to the stigma, which are among the different parts of a flower.
Other parts include its sepal, petals, pistil, and filament. Without flowers, a plant cannot
produce the seeds to continue the lifecycle of each plant. Therefore, the next time you see
flowers or eat a fruit, remember that they exist for a reason.

Modern Inventions
I remembered a poem that I read in an English workbook that belonged to my elder sister. The poem
‘Heir Conditioning’ by G. Shanmughalingam was about a boy asking his grandfather about the life before
technology and he wondered how his grandparents had survived that time. For the boy, he could not imagine
himself living without the inventions of modern technology like air conditioners and telephones.
Living in the world nowadays, most of us like the boy in the poem, take modern inventions for granted.
They have been around since we were born. They bring us comfort and make life easier. They have become
very important in our daily life that without these things, we may not be able to function as great as with the
help of the things that have been improved by Science and Technology.
The Internet is one of the necessities in modern life. Without the Internet, a lot of things will be set back
until the system is restored. In fact, almost everything goes online now. People can do banking transactions,
send emails, apply for jobs, book tickets and even shopping. They can also update themselves on news,
read books, watch films and even learn new skills.
The development of Science and Technology is amazing. Most inventors, scientists and researches
keep on creating or improving things. A mobile phone a few years ago has become a smart phone which can
be used as a computer, a camera as well as to communicate with other people. Robotic technologies enable
faster productions in manufacturing industries and recently, they have invented robots to help at home and
serve people in restaurants.
Many other fields also benefit from this modern development. In agriculture, improvement is seen
in many sectors such as in machines as well as the crops. Transportation enables faster travelling and
engineering sectors are rapidly changing, too. Despite getting advantages of the modern technologies, it is
4
quite difficult for some people to stay abreast with these changes, especially the older generation. Just like
Grandfather in the poem who said that all the development would have caused global warming and more

destructions to the Earth. It seemed that the poet was right to foresee the future.

Photosynthesis
by Farhan bin Kassim
When we feel hungry, we usually eat food which can be animal or plant based. Animals
also get their sources of food from other animals or plants. Plants eat too, but they are unique
living things because they can make their own ‘food’. The process of making food in plants is
called photosynthesis, performed by all plants, algae, and even some microorganisms.
How does a plant carry out this process to make a food molecule? Plants need sunlight,
water, and carbon dioxide which is produced by all breathing organisms. It enters the plants
through tiny holes in leaves, flowers, branches, stems, and roots. The light energy from the sun
causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water which
is then being reorganised to make glucose, a type of sugar and oxygen. The gas is released into
the atmosphere through similar tiny holes that absorb carbon dioxide.
Another important element in photosynthesis is pigments. There are three types of
pigments. Chlorophylls are green-coloured pigments that trap blue and red light. The red, orange
or yellow-coloured pigments that absorb bluish-green light are called carotenoids. The last one
is called phycobilins. These are either red or blue pigments seen in cyanobacteria and red algae.
The light that cannot be absorbed well by chlorophylls and carotenoids is taken by phycobilins.
In sustaining the supply of clean air, it is important for the existence of trees and plants
because the process of photosynthesis benefits humans and animals. The oxygen produced
during the process is necessary for the survival of almost all living things.

Technology and Us
by Rohana binti Ismail
We now live in a modern world filled with many great inventions, a result of development
in Science and Technology. They are certainly an advantage to us because we can lead an
easy and comfortable life. Most of the gadgets and appliances that we have today have
become a necessity instead of a luxury. Using them will save time and energy.
Before gas and electric cookers, women used firewood to cook and boil water. Imagine
lighting the fire every time you want to cook. Just like when we go on camping trips. If you
do not have the skill, the fire will not burn the wood. When there is a nice fire, you need to
know how to control it so you will not eat burnt food. How easy life is now that we have rice
cookers, kettle jugs, microwave ovens, blenders and washing machines. Those are among
the appliances that many cannot survive without.
Bicycles used to be a transport but now many people ride them mostly for sports
and recreational purposes. Cars and motorcycles are more convenient because they can
take us anywhere we want faster. Known as bullet trains, these high-speed trains enable
people to commute from one city to another very fast. However, they are available in certain
countries that include Japan and Europe. After many trials, the Wright brothers became the
first people who had been successful in flying their aircraft. Now, people can fly in comfort
to any destination around the world.
Technologies provide people with many other great inventions. Each is created with a
purpose. In hot weather, people prefer air-conditioners rather than fans. Lifts are great in
4
tall buildings. Unless they want to exercise, no one will go up to the 10th floor using stairs!
Test
The means of communication have gone through great changes and they are constantly
changing from time to time. Telegraph, telephones, radios and televisions in the early days
are now slowly getting replaced with smartphones and the Internet. Even now, someone has
created a special machine that enables him to fly. So, what other inventions does the future
have for us?

LUCKY DECISION
Having the advantage of good internet reception, Lisa loves to shop online. It is
very convenient as she only has to wait for them right in front of her house. However, she
recently received a message (SMS) from the seller informing her that she might stand a
chance to win a new phone if she would agree to the terms and conditions. 1
There would be no more home delivery for her.
Lisa had already pictured a new handphone in mind so the possibility of getting a
free one was certainly tempting. 2 Based on her address, she chose a location
near her son’s school where she could easily drop by on her way to fetch him home.
Not long after that she placed an order to buy a set of skin care. Two days later,
Lisa received another short message (SMS) to inform her that her package was ready to
be collected. 3 Lisa went to the address given for the pick-up. Upon arriving
she found that the centre is actually a stationery shop. The owner is smart to grab the

the number matched with the one recorded, he went to find her package. 5
Lisa was satisfied to see everything in good condition upon inspection. Then, the
man approached her. “Congratulations! You are our lucky customer of the month,” he said
as he gave her a beautifully wrapped box. 6 Lisa got it just by a stroke of luck
as she never thought she would stand a chance of winning. Nevertheless, she was pleased
that she decided to try the self-collection programme that day.
