Đề thi thử THPT QG năm 2022 môn Tiếng Anh

Humans have always been searching for quicker and easier ways to get around. About 10,000 years ago, we built canoes made from logs of wood, while on land we started riding horses around 4.000 BC. Roughly 500 years later, we invented the wheel, which led to carts and wagons, and at almost the same time, the Egyptians invented the sailing boat.

Up until the 18^th century most people travelled by sailing boat, horse or stagecoach, but in 1769, there was a major breakthrough when the Scottish inventor James Watt invented the steam engine. In 1783, the French inventor Claude de Jouffroy used this to build the first steamboat, and in 1804 the Englishman Richard Trevithick constructed the first steam-powered train. Railways helped carry coal around Britain and were an important part of the Industrial Revolution.

Another major breakthrough came when Karl Benz built the first working car in 1885. Then, in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright built the first aeroplane. These two inventions shaped the 20^th century. Over time, cars and plane travel became cheaper so that by the 70s a lot of families owned a car and many were holidaying abroad.

Nowadays, companies are developing self-driving cars and we will soon be able to take trips into space. The fascinating story of transportation continues and who knows how we'll be getting around in the future.

A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising statistics. The average teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile phones, computers, games consoles or TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside school time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of course, is multitasking.

The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake Kendall. He told researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that he was completing their survey at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends online and reading reviews of the latest film releases. For sixteen-year-old Marisa Sanchez, the survey simply confirmed the facts. She said that she had watched two hours of TV in the three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about volcanoes, played an online game for two hours, and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.

Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family Action Institute told our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their multitasking habits. She added that, as adults, they would struggle to focus their attention. However, Dr Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child Health said that worries about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago, and that high levels of media use were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that they drink and the food that they eat'.
