(0.8pt) Guglielmo Marconi is the person who generally gets the credit for inventing the radio. He began experimenting with wireless communication in the attic of his father's villa in Italy. In 1895, he sent a wireless signal one and one half miles. Marconi found that England was interested in his discovery. They hoped to use it for communication with ships at sea. So, in 1896, Marconi moved to England and began his Wireless Communication and Signal Company. By 1899, he was able to send a signal across the English Channel, a distance of 31 miles. At the same time, an inventor in the United States, Nikola Tesla, was also experimenting with wireless communication. As early as 1893, he had experimented with the technology and conducted demonstrations and lectures on the subject. Unfortunately, his progress was slowed when a fire destroyed his laboratory. 23. Marconi started his company in his home country. 24. Marconi was the only person who had the idea about wireless communication at that time. 25. Nikola Teslo could do a job as a lecturer. 26.

Listening transcript Britain is a relatively small country, so traveling to the many beautiful places is quite easy. There are a number of ways that you can get to your destinations. Firstly, travel by train. If you are visiting any of Britain's major cities then travelling by train is a great option. Not only will you get from place to place swiftly, you'll also get to view some spectacular British sights as you're driven through. If you plan to do much travelling within Britain, invest in a rail pass. You can buy one before you arrive in the UK. Secondly, hire a car. You can hire a car at major airport, large train stations and city centre outlets. To get the best deals, do your research and book before you arrive in the UK. Thirdly, travel by bike, narrow boat or horse. They are all good options for you to enjoy unusual picturesque local places. Finally, taxis are available at all main coach and train stations. It is quite easy to get one. Viet Hung secondary school THE SECOND TERM TEST Class: 8 Period: 102 School year: 2018-2019 Time allowed: 45 minutes Number: 2 Date: 23 / 4 / 2019 Name:.
