Mobile phones

1) Young people often worry about the style and functions of mobile phones. However, today companies present more

models for people who are over 50 or 60 years old. They need a mobile phone with large buttons, so that they can dial

numbers without glasses. The menu is also simple. It really doesn’t matter if the phone has a camera or the Internet. For

them, less is more.

2) Today, when friends meet in a café, they put their mobile phones in the middle of the table. They aren't allowed to touch

them at all. If someone does it and answers the phone, they have to pay for everybody. Sounds fun, right? The idea is to

make people concentrate on a real conversation with each other instead of using their mobiles all the time.

3) Visitors of theatres and cinemas often complain that mobile phones ring during performances. The city government of

New York passed a new act. It is now forbidden to use mobile phones in places, like theaters, libraries, museums, galleries,

and cinemas. Those who don’t switch off their mobiles will have to pay.

Shakira

Shakira Ripoll was born on February 2, 1977, in Colombia. She was the only daughter of a well-respected

businessman and his wife. When Shakira was a child, her mother discovered that the girl had a gift for writing. Shakira

knew the alphabet by the age of eighteen months, and at three she knew how to read. By the time she was four, she was

ready for school. School was not just a place where little Shakira learnt her arithmetic and geography. There she began to

understand such great things as kindness, love, trust, and other human ideals. She realized what real friendship was and

how much her family meant to her. Later it helped her to decide what to do with the big money she earned.

Shakira loved attention and wished to find a way to get it. She sang a lot for her schoolmates and teachers. However,

the music teacher told her that she sounded “like a goat”. Shakira wasn’t too upset about it and soon found a more original

way to become the centre of attention. It was dancing. It helped her to express herself and become famous in school. What

is interesting is that no one had ever taught her to dance.

As soon as the bell rang after class, Shakira was the first one to run and get in line for the cafeteria. She usually

bought a pepsi, a hamburger and something sweet, like a muffin or a piece of cake. She seldom took a packed lunch from

home. Though Shakira was a lover of fast food, she had no weight problems, as she loved dancing.

When she was eight, Shakira's father lost all his money because his business went bankrupt. For a while Shakira

had to stay with her relatives in Los Angeles. When the girl returned, she was shocked to see almost everything that her

family had, had been sold. She later said: “In my childish head, this was the end of the world.”

To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park to see the homeless children. What she

saw shocked her deeply and she said to herself: “One day I’m going to help these poor kids when I become a famous singer

or dancer”.

Between the ages of ten and thirteen Shakira was invited to various dance events and became very popular in the

area. It was at this time that Shakira met a local theatre producer, who was impressed with her performance and as a result

tried to help her career. This woman organized a meeting with the managers of the Sony company. After Shakira sang, they

decided to sign a contract for three albums with the talented girl.

Mobile phones

1) With mobile phones we can contact anyone, anywhere, any time. Scientists say that some people are so used to mobiles

that they can’t go to the kitchen without them. They are in panic if they leave them at home or lose. It has become a habit

to have a mobile everywhere. People depend on mobile phones so much that doctors have started worrying. They say it

may be a thing similar to drugs.

2) In 2010, a young girl from China made a song using only her mobile phone. She wrote it without any guitars, pianos,

drums. She used different functions of her mobile. It took her several days to record the song. Later she made a video of it

and put the video on the Internet, where over a million people watched it. She sent the song to the Apple company and

suggested using it in their advertisements.

3) Today's mobile phones can already send e-mails, surf the Internet, and keep you in touch with friends. Tomorrow's

phones are like helpful secretaries. In a few years you’ll see that they know your habits and can advise you what to cook

for dinner. They will remind you where to go and what gift to buy.
