TELEVISION
I. Read the text and do the tasks following it.
An important thing can have a small beginning. The first
television picture that was ever seen was not exciting. It was
only a picture of a face, and the picture only traveled a few
meters. But to the inventor, John Logic Baird, it was
wonderful.
Baird had always been interested in science, but not all of
his experiments had been successful. In 1900, when he was
twelve years old, he and some friends built a private telephone
system. It worked well, but one night a storm pulled down the
wires that the boys had stretched across the street. A man who
was standing in the street was hurt by the falling wires, and the
boys' telephone system had to be closed down. A few years
later, Baird and a classmate built a plane, which they launched
(with John in it) from a roof. Luckily, when the plane crashed,
it fell on some grass, so John wasn't badly hurt.
