It means that people have problems with reading, writing, spelling and sometimes with memorising things. Dyslexia is not a sign of poor intelligence or laziness. Nor is it the result of poor instruction, Children and adults with dyslexia simply process and interpret information differently, Dyslexia occurs among people of all economic and ethnic backgrounds, Often more than one member of a family has it. Statistically, about 15 percent of people are dyslexic, but not all of them realise it, 4 Some experts think, however, that dyslexic people are highly creative and intuitive becanse their brain works differenti. A good example Is ‘Vladimir Mayakovsky, a renowned Russian and Soviet poet, who had trouble with commas and full stops but created his own revolution in. poetry. He changed the very idea of poetry by: introducing new subjects, new vocabulary and new rhythms. 5 some people with dysiexia discover they have special, hidden talents, but only when they are ‘older. A good example is Agatha Christie, one of tho most suecessful writers in history ~ two billion books published in 44 languages! At school she problems with writing and often got bad marks for: essays. Her parents were disappointed and wanted ‘Agatha to leave school early. She only started ‘writing because her older sister said she couldn't do it! And even when she was already a famous crime writer, she sometimes felt embarrassed because she still couldn't spell S There is a long list of people like Vladimir Mayakovsky and Agatha Christie, writers and inventors and artists, actors and politicians. Hans Christian Andersen, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da. Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves ~ to name just a few, These important and creative people had problems with reading and writing when they were young.

You're sitting with your notes and books and you're beginning to feel tired. Should you listen to your mother’s advice and go to bed? ‘Or should you stay up all night and try to learn? Well, scientists say that our mothers are probably right — it's best to go to bed early before a big ‘cxam, Last year in Germany scientists looked into the effects of sleep on university students. They found out that students who had at least four hours of sleep did better in exams. It also turned out that the students who had a lot of sleep had better scores in 1 tests. So why is sleep good for our brains? First of all, scientists believe that after a hard day of thinking, our memories are very messy. Sleep helps to tidy up our thoughts and memories and to put everything in the right place again. Because of this, it's easier to remember facts clearly, which, of course, is important in exams. When we sleep, our brains also continue thinking about our problems from the day before. We can sometimes come up with the answers to difficult problems after sleeping. There are many examples of this in history, In the nineteenth century, the chemical structure of benzene was still a big. tery to scientists. The German chemist Friedrich August Kekulé worked on this problem for many years. One afternoon, while he was travelling on a London bus, Kekulé fell asleep. He had a strange dream ~ snakes were coming towards him with their (ails in their mouths! by David F! When he woke up, Kekulé knew that he had the answer to his problem — the atoms were arranged ina cirele like his funny snakes! But sleep does not only improve our memories andl help us to find the answer to problems. Scientists; believe that we are more creative after sleep too. Keith Richards, guitarist with the Roll came up with the melody for Satis/action, their biggest hit, as he was taking a nap in a London hotel room. The Irish writer Bram Stoker also got the idea for his masterpiece Dracula, the classic horror story, while he was sleeping. He ate crabs late at night before going to bed, had some strangq nightmares and kept on waking up! So, take my advice — do you want to remember more in your exam tomorrow? The answer is simple - go to bed early! SLEEP FACTS — TRUE OR FALSE? Teenagers need less sleep than adults. 20 percent of students don't get enough sleep every night. All animals sleep, even flies and fish! ‘When you sleep for eight hours you use about 35 calories - the same amount yo body needs to walk for ten minutes. ae neRE Road the Sleep Facts. in pairs, decide which 1 facts are true.

While he was) sailing along the Oka River he helped repair and maintain the ship's electrical equipment, and that is how his interest in electrical engineering beg: 2 Vladimir studied electrical engineering at Saint Petersburg Institute of Technology. He was a talented student and attracted the attention of the famous Professor Ro private lab. In 1910, Rosing and Vladimir exhibited an original television system, 1 mechanical scanner in the transmitter and the electronic Braun tube in the receiver. It was one the first demonstrations of TV of any kind and quite a successful one at that. 3 V. Zworykin graduated in 1912 and continued I studies of X-rays for some time under Professor Paul Langevin in Paris. During World War T ‘Zworykin served in the Russian Signal Corps, then succeeded in getting a job working for the Russi Marconi company testing radio equipment produced for the Russian Army. Zworykin left Russia for the United States after the October Revolution, during the Russian Civil War. 4 There, in the late 20s, he invented the cathode ‘tubes that made him famous and brought TV to our homes. It took him several years of experiments to turn patents into a working system ‘The system was ready to be launched at the end 1934, In early 1935 the new tube was introduced i Germany. Next, it was successfully used at the 1986 Berlin Olympic Games as one of several cameras broadcasting the games to some two- hundred public theaters. Zvorykin patented the colour TY system in 1928.
