I. Reading Exercises:

Exercise 1. Read and memorize using a dictionary:

miniaturization; computerization ;satellite receiver equipment; encryption software; to secure payment; the user interface; to make an impact; digitization; standardization; pay-per-view; the merging of computing; satellite TV subscribers; a spin-off

Exercise 2. Answer the questions:

1.When was satellite television born?

2.How does satellite TV work?

3.When did satellite television start maturity?

4.What is the future of satellite television?

5. Why is it getting so popular nowadays?

Exercise 3. Match the left part with the right :

1. Growth incited the development

of the hardware and the bandwidth needed to broadcast programs.

2. The drawbacks were the size and complexity

by the merging of computing, telecommunications and the networking industries..

3. Compression of the satellite signal became a major area

of encryption software, which allowed broadcasters to secure payment for their services.

4. The entertainment industry is being revolutionized

of development and the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) standards started to be defined.

Exercise 4. Open brackets choosing the right words:

The increase in Satellite channel offerings (to produce/ to generate) sales of the "big dishes" for C-Band satellite, and prices began (to fall/to go down) seriously, opening up the mass market for hardware. Growth (to incite/to encourage) the (development / progress) of encryption software, which (to provide/ to allow) broadcasters(to fasten/ to secure) payment for their services.

The Speaking Module

II. Speaking exercises:

Exercise 1. Describe words

satellite ; satellite dish; computerization; miniaturization; beam; framework;

using the suggested words and expressions as in example.

Example:

satellite- an object that is sent into space to travel round the Earth in order to receive and send information;

the Earth/ to travel/ is sent/in order/ and/ an object/round/ send/ into/ that/ information/ to receive/ space/

satellite dish

television/ receives/ a piece/ signals/ that/ special/the shape/ of/ allow/ equipment/ satellite/ in/ a dish/ from /you/ a satellite/ to watch/ that

computerization

of/the control/by/ processes/ computer

miniaturization

a greatly/ on/ making/ of/ scale/ act/ reduced

beam

a cathode ray tube/ as/ stream/ emitted/ of/ a narrow/ from/ electrons / gun /that/of/ the electron/

framework

a skeletal/ something/for/ especially/ used/ the basis/ a structure/ as/ supporting/for/ something/ support/or/ constructed/else/ enclosing/ being

Exercise 2.Ask questions to the given answers:

1) Question:_________________________________ ?

Answer: Computerization also started to make an impact on broadcast and recording technique.

2) Question:_________________________________ ?

Answer: From 1992, when encryption techniques were sufficiently secure to allow the development of pay-per-view, the satellite TV industry really took off.

3) Question:_________________________________ ?

Answer: Satellite equipment has become small enough to be able to be used by all households - the 18" dish can be attached to walls or roofs, and it is probable that further miniaturization is on its way.
