3- READING: Read the text about three famous inventions
Three popular inventions from the 1920s
The 1920s was an exciting time for inventions. Some of the things invented
around that time changed the lives of millions of people, and some of those
inventions are still widely used today.
The television
The invention with the biggest impact was probably the television. It was
invented by a Scottish man, John Logie Baird. The first televised pictures were
sent over a short distance in 1924, and his invention was formally demonstrated
at the Royal Institute two years later. The pictures on the screen were not clear,
but the viewers could see that they were human faces, and they could see their
eyes opening and closing. In 1928, images were sent from Britain to America,
and later, to a ship 1,500 miles out to sea. In the same year, the first colour
images were sent. The first ‘seeing-in sets’ were sold that same year. For £25
(£1000 in today’s money), people in their homes could watch moving images
that were sent from a broadcasting station.
The fridge
Another invention that became popular in the 1920s was the home refrigerator.
People used different ways to keep food cool and fresh long before the 1900s,
but home fridges weren’t invented until 1913 in the USA. Home fridges became
very popular in the USA in the 1920s. Sales of the popular ‘Frigidaire’ model
increased from 5,000 in 1921 to 750,000 in 1926. British people were less
interested in fridges than Americans. They thought that they were unnecessary
because the weather in Britain was cooler. But fridges were heavily advertised,
and their advantages were described in detail. Soon, more fridges were sold,
and the price decreased.
The polygraph
Another interesting invention of the 1920s was the polygraph, or lie detector. It
was invented in 1921 by a Californian policeman, John Larson. He used the
ideas of other psychologists to make a machine that measured people’s heart
rate, breathing and blood pressure while they were asked questions. The
experts believed that sudden changes in these measurements showed that
someone was lying. Although this invention is well-known, it can’t really detect
lies. Marston tried to use measurements from his polygraph in a court case in
1923, but they weren’t accepted as evidence and never have been since then.
However, polygraphs are still used by some police forces and the FBI because
many people believe they work, so they tell the truth to avoid the machine.
Choose true or false.

what the image was.
a. True
b. False

a. True
b. False
3-Colour images were not possible until after the 1920s.

b. False
5-People could buy television sets in the 1920s.

b. False
6-Home refrigerators were invented in the 1920s.

a. True
b. False
7-Fridges became popular in the USA before they were popular in the UK.
a. True
b. False
8-Some psychologists helped John Larson to build his invention.

a. True
b. False
9-On some occasions, lie detectors have been used as evidence in court.
a. True
b. False
10-Today, lie detectors are never used by the police.

a. True
b. False
5- WRITING : Complete each conditional sentence with your
