A)     Which do you think is most innovative?

 

1935 – Cat’s Eyes One foggy night, Percy Shaw was driving on a dark winding road. His life was saved when a cat’s eyes reflected his car’s lights, which stopped him from going off the side of the hill. After his near-death experience, Percy Shaw decided to create something similar to cats’ eyes by inventing a small device (made of two marbles placed close together in a rubber case) which would reflect oncoming car headlights to show the way ahead. Since their invention in 1935, ‘Cat’s Eyes’ have helped motorists to see where they are going and have surely prevented countless accidents like the one which Percy Shaw avoided. Shaw won an OBE in 1965 and died in September 1976.

 

1983 – Bagless vacuum cleaner In the late 1970s, James Dyson designed a bagless vacuum cleaner which would not lose suction as it picked up dirt. After five years, and over 5,000 prototypes, Dyson launched the ‘G-force’ cleaner in 1983. No manufacturer or distributer would launch his product in the UK at that time, as they were concerned about the impact it might have on the cleaner-bag market. Consequently, Dyson launched it in Japan, where it won the 1991 International Design Fair prize and sold for £2,000. Later, in 1993, Dyson set up his own manufacturing company in Wiltshire, England. Since then, the Dyson vacuum cleaner has become one of the most popular brands in the UK and, in 2005, it was the market leader in the US by value. In 1997, Dyson was awarded the Prince Phillip Designers Prize and in 2005 he was elected as a Fellow at The Royal Academy of Engineering.

 

1993 – Wind-up radio Trevor Bayliss is another famous British inventor, whose personal focus is on using technology in innovative ways to deal with social problems. He invented the wind-up radio to allow people living in remote areas to stay in touch with the world. In 1989, he watched a TV programme about the spread of AIDS in Africa and felt that one way spread of the disease could be minimised would be by educating people through radio broadcasts. Despite early rejection from everyone he approached, the turning point came when Bayliss’ wind-up radio was featured on a TV programme, creating interest from a number of investors. This enabled Bayliss to form his own company, and since then, Bayliss has received countless awards, met the Queen and Nelson Mandela and travelled to Africa to produce a documentary about his life. Furthermore, Bayliss has updated the radio to include a solar panel so that it runs in sunshine without winding. In June 2005, Bayliss received an honorary doctorate from Leeds Metropolitan University and he now runs a company dedicated to helping inventors develop and sell their ideas.

STEP 7:

Grammar focusà The Present Perfect Tense and the Simple Past Tense. 

We use the Present Perfect Tense to connect the past with the present.

When we connect the present with a specific point of time in the past, we use the word since.

The form of the present perfect is: Subject + have/ has + past participle  (CHECK THE LIST OF IRREGULAR VERBS-THIRD COLUMN à http://www.saberingles.com.ar/lists/irregular-verbs.html )

When we are not thinking about the past and present together, we don’t use the present perfect. If we are only thinking about the past, we use the past simple tense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


STEP 8:

Grammar practice.

Complete the following sentences taken from the text, using either the present perfect tense or the past simple tense.

 a) In the late 1970s, James Dyson __________ (design) a bagless vacuum cleaner which would not lose suction as it picked up dirt.

 b) Dyson __________ (launch) the ‘G-force’ cleaner in 1983.
