Oh, I found a card with an interesting invention. Let’s have a look!
Wi-Fi
valuable
John O’Sullivan
the 1990s
connecting to the Internet
Look and predict
① Who is he?
A. He is an inventor
B. He is a worker.
We notice that there are other ways to exchange information before Wi-Fi. Do you know what they were?

Look and predict
② What is he doing?
A. He is repairing an old machine.
B. He is inventing a new machine.
Look and predict
③ What can the machine be used to/ for?
A. It can be used to send some information.
B. It can be used for showing us a film.
Peter and Fu Xing are talking about the man, too. Let’s listen and join them.
Timeline
Before the radio was invented
the idea was developed
the first message was sent across Atlantic
today still used
Listen and finish the timeline.
1890s
1901
① Who is he?
He is an Italian inventor called Guglielmo Marconi.
Let’s re-answer these questions.
② What is he doing?
He is inventing the radio.
Let’s re-answer these questions.
③ What can the machine be used to/ for?
It can be used to spread news around the world in seconds.
Let’s re-answer these questions.
Fu Xing: What do you think is the most useful invention of all time, Peter?
Peter: It has to be the radio.
Fu Xing: The radio? Why?
Peter: Before the radio was invented, information travelled very slowly. The world was made much smaller by the radio. Suddenly, news could be spread around the world in seconds.
Fu Xing: Right. Who was the inventor?
Peter: An Italian inventor called Guglielmo Marconi. He developed the idea in the 1890s. In 1901, a radio message was sent across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.
Fu Xing: Wow! That was quite a distance at that time.
Peter: Yeah. And because of the radio, some other important inventions were developed as well.
Fu Xing: Like the television?
Peter: That's right. It also had a big effect on music. The radio made it much easier for people to enjoy music from artists around the world.
