Open-plan offices: new research

The researchPeople all around the world work in offices. Some people work in small offices fo r one or tw o people, but a lo t o f people now work in open-plan offices. In these offices, people work together in one big room. N ew research from Australia shows that there are advantages and disadvantages to these offices.

What’s good?The research shows three reasons to have open-plan offices. Firstly, in open-plan offices a lot o f people can work in a small area. Secondly, it is easy for people to talk to work colleagues because they are in the same room. Finally, open-plan offices are cheaper for companies because they use less electricity.

What’s bad?The research also shows some disadvantages. Some people do not work well in open-plan offices because they are noisy. It is also difficult to talk privately in open-plan offices. Finally, researchers think that people get ill more easily because they work near each other.

Open-plan offices - good or bad?The research concludes that there are advantages and disadvantages to open-plan offices, but many companies think that the advantages o f having open-plan offices are greater than the disadvantages.

Signs a round the w o rldSigns give us information or instructions. They have writing or pictures on them. Today, many countries around the world use the same signs.

It is important that these signs are easy and clear for everyone to understand. There are rules about the shape and colour. A circle is an instruction or order, for example ‘no entry’. A triangle tells you about a danger, for example ‘large animals crossing the road’.A rectangle gives you information, for example ‘exit’, or ‘leave here’. The colour of a sign is also important. For example, red is for danger and green is for safety.

Signs are a kind of international language, and everyone can understand them because they are the same in many countries.

Chapter 3 Health and hygiene

Health and hygiene are important all over the world today, and they were important in the past. People from different parts of the world made useful discoveries about health and hygiene. These discoveries are still important today.Medicine developed in the ancient world first. The Egyptians made many medical discoveries. For example, they used surgery to treat people. Later, the Greeks thought a healthy life was important. They wanted people to eat good food, to take exercise, and to sleep well. For the Romans, hygiene was important. They built public baths. They also had pipes to carry away dirty water because it causes disease.In the Middle East, medicine was also important. In Baghdad, people built the first important hospital in the world. It opened in 850 CE. Later, more hospitals opened in the Middle East, and doctors studied medicine and took exams.Europeans used the information from these early doctors, and made more developments in the next 1,000 years.For example, in the 19th century, Florence Nightingale saved many people’s lives because she made hospitals clean and safe.Good public health today is a result of the work of people from around the world. All these people in the past helped jt to develop and improve.

The Egyptians made many medical discoveries. They used surgery to treat people.

m In Baghdad people built the first important hospital in the world. It opened in 850 CE.

Understanding pronouns helps you understand a text.

Sailing firstsWho was the first person to sail around the world? We don’t know for sure, but in the history of round-the-world sailing, three people achieved important firsts.Francis Chichester, from England, was a great sailor. On 27th August 1966, he sailed his boat Gypsy Moth around the world. He returned to England on 28th May 1967 after 226 days sailing. He was the first person to sail single-handed around the world from west to east.Twenty-one years later, Kay Cottee became the first woman to sail around the world without stopping. Kay, an Australian, left her country on 29th November 1987 in her boat First Lady, and returned to Sydney on 5th June 1988. She was at sea for 189 days. Another Australian, David Dicks, also achieved an important first. He became the youngest person to sail non-stop around the world. In February 1996, at the age of seventeen, David left Australia in his boat, Seaflight. He returned to Australia in November 1996, after nine months at sea.

The Business of Sport

Today, sport is a business, and football is a good example. Football dubs need money to pay the players. There are five ways for the clubs to make money.

Firstly, dubs sell tickets for the matches. A ticket for a match can be very expensive The clubs also sell season tickets. These are tickets for all the matches in one year.

Secondly, companies pay clubs to advertise. For example, there are signs for their products at the stadium and their logo is on the players’ shirts.

Some clubs make money from TV companies. This is usually only the big clubs, but it can be a lot of money for them.

Clubs also sell products, for example, football shirts or hats. They sell their products in their shops and on the Internet. A lot of people buy them.

Finally, a football club can sell a player to another club for a lot of money. Clubs can only do this twice a year.

All clubs do these things, but only the top clubs get rich from them. Other sports also have to make money and they use the same ways.

REVIEW1 Work with a partner. Survey the text and the picture. What is the text about?

Sports and television

Television shows a lot of sports programmes. Sport on TV is a big business and many people benefit from it.

When TV started in the 1940s, it showed sports. They were very popular because, for the first time, many people could watch important games. More people bought televisions and watched more sport.

The TV companies paid the sports clubs and organizations a lot of money, and this is still true today. For example, in 1985 they paid $45 million to show the top basketball games in the USA. European TV companies paid 760 million euros to show the summer and winter Olympics of 2010 and 2012.

How do the TV companies make money from sport? They sell time on television to other companies. These companies advertise their products at sports matches and competitions. Millions of people watch the sport and see the advertisements.

Showing sports on TV has advantages for the top sports clubs and TV companies. Also, people around the world can watch their favourite sports at home.

An important resourceThe oceans cover about 70% o f the world’s surface and contain 97% o f the Earth’s water. There are five oceans, and they are all connected.

The table shows the size o f the oceans. The Pacific Ocean is very big and covers an area o f about 150 million square kilometres. The Atlantic Ocean is half the size o f the Pacific Ocean and about the same size as the Indian Ocean. Scientists named the Southern Ocean for the first tim e in 2000. It surrounds Antarctica. The Arctic Ocean is quite small and very cold. It is covered by ice in the winter.

The oceans are very important. They give us a lot o f our food, and some countries now change sea water into drinking water, too. W e can also use oceans to transport goods, and we can find minerals in them. For all these reasons, we need to take care o f the oceans and keep them clean.

The story of SuperdryThe busihessman

Julian Dunkerton is asuccessful businessman.He is the founder of the clothing brand ‘Superdry’.He was bom in England in 1965. He wanted to be a doctor, but he did not get good exam results at school.So, when he left school, he did not go to university, but started selling clothes in a market.

Julian Dunkerton

At the market, he learnt a lot about people. He learnt about what clothes they liked and what clothes they did not like. He realized that there were lots of people who wanted fashionable and cool clothes but did not want ‘strange’ clothing. He decided to design and sell clothes for these people.

He started his new business with very little money. He called his business ‘Cult Clothing’. But when he opened his first shop in London in 2004, he called it ‘Superdry’. The company became very successful in 2005 because David Beckham, an English footballer, wore a Superdry T-shirt.

Superdry today is a huge international success. It has shops in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, and it employs thousands of people. Julian Dunkerton started selling clothes in a market, but today he is a multi-millionaire.
