Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be
installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate
their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many
advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy
to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving
parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large
area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about
twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells
are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and
more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.

In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults.

spoken language. Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As
societies developed they set up schools to teach reading, writing, Maths and other
subjects. The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich
and powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In
many cultures the religious leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had
other purposes as well. Many schools focused on military training. Sometimes youths
attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to
help them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other
useful skills. Over time education became available to more people, not just the rich and
powerful. The governments of some countries set up public systems of education in the
1800s. More schools opened to girls.
