“Know where to find the information and how to use it – That’s the secret of success.” Albert Einstain
“Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used” Dr. Carl Sagan quotes
“We are drowning in information and starved for knowledge.” Kofy Annan

Jacob Bronowsky
Learning Objectives
The objectives of this module are:
to express opinions in arguments and discussions
to use special linking words and expressions for coherency in writing and speaking
to use different speech patterns and collocations to avoid repetition
to talk about scientific discoveries and inventions
to distinguish international words from ‘false friends’ words
to revisit the Past Tenses
Unit 1 Necessity is the Mother of Invention
Lead In |
Work with a partner. Think of the difference between the words ‘discovery’ and ‘invention’. Write down a definition for the both words.
Sort out the inventions and discoveries into two columns. Compare and discuss your lists with a partner.
e. g. X-rays e. g. telescope
Which areas of scientific study or technology do they belong to? Which of them are used in more than one natural science?
Reading |
Work with a partner. Name any accidental discoveries
or inventions you have ever heard about. How did
people benefit from them? Did they cause any
problems?
The words in column A are in the text you are going
to read. Match them with the words in column B which are similar in meaning.
