TOPIC: What inventions have improved human LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Students Will be able to learn
health? about the importance of the vaccination and its origen.
COURSE:

VACCINATION WHAT ARE VACCINES AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

Reading: One of the greatest inventions that has impacted human health is vaccination. It has saved millions
of lives worldwide and has caused many diseases to disappear. Vaccines immunize people by mobilizing
antibodies (defenses) that fight the disease so that defenses learn to fight if the body is exposed to illnesses
in the future. The first time a vaccine was inoculated was in 1796 when Edward Jenner prevented a child
from getting smallpox. A century before, the Chinese had tried to use an infected skin tear to immunize
against it. The vaccine for smallpox was first developed in 1798 and by 1979 it was globally eradicated.
Before vaccines, smallpox had killed millions of people. Most vaccines we still use today were created in the
early XX century and eliminated several terrible illnesses. Vaccines are older than antibiotics or anesthesia.

world What
do you and people in your community know about outer space? Talk to your classmates and teacher. From
our planet, outer space starts about 100 km above the surface. Farther away, there are only isolated
particles of gas and dust in the emptiness of the universe. Some regions have planets and galaxies. Some
scientists say that there is radiation all around space, but we cannot see it. Now, we have some powerful
devices that help us see what is out there. Humans have been curious about outer space since they noticed
there was something beyond our Earth. What did ancient cultures know about the universe? How did they
know? The study of the stars was the foundation of past cultures and civilizations. Since the sky was always
changing, it caused fascination and curiosity. People noticed patterns in the sun and moon, also in the stars
and planets. Astronomy in ancient cultures shaped their beliefs and mindsets. The Babylonians were one of
the first civilizations to register the movements of the moon and sun. A brilliant Persian astronomer invented.

safe but technology hadn’t advanced enough to bring ships back yet. Laika was a street dog that became an
astronaut because of her size and calmness. After some training, she was ready to go into space. Her ship
called Sputnik 2 was launched on November 3,1957. Laika was supposed to orbit the planet some days and
the first reports from Russian space programs said so. However, in 1993, some Russian space program
scientists revealed that Laika died soon after leaving the planet’s atmosphere because of stress and
overheating. Many people in the world were in great sorrow because of her death. Since then, her story has

All cultures have

myths, stories, legends,

traditions are a way to preserve and transmit customs and values as well as to shape behavior.

A really interesting discovery about myths in cultures is that there are universal myths across different cultures
from all around the world. These similarities are related to images, structures, events, and characters that
answered the most common questions humans have, such as the origin of the universe and the meaning of
life.

There are various similar myths and legends across cultures, for example epic cosmic battles, and the Great
Flood which is part of the Christian and Jewish tradition, as well as Sumerian, Greek, Hindu, Mayan, and
Native American legends. The most similar belief in all cultures is the existence of a great supreme being that
created everything.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A TRANSISTOR IS? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT
ITS USE? DISCUSS IT AS A CLASS.
The transistor: A New Era
The transistor: A New Era The transistor is an underappreciated invention that changed the world forever.
Believe it or not, it is the crucial component of an electronic device. Our televisions, radios, cell phones, and
computers work with them. Televisions used to work with some tubes that were slow and used a lot of energy.
You may ask your grandparents how long televisions took to turn on about 70 years ago.

Three people invented the transistor: William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. Shockley started
working in 1936 on the transistor. Although he could successfully work out the theory, he could not build a
working model in eight years. Bardeen and Brattain helped him develop the model. Sometime later, Texas
Instruments of Dallas first started commercial production of junction transistors for portable radios in 1954.
The Sony Company of Japan soon acquired the right to produce transistors and dominated the market. In the
1960’s, Sony began to manufacture television sets using transistors instead of tubes. Afterwards, vacuum
tube technology became obsolete.

1.- READ THE TEXT, REALICE A VOCABULARY 20 WORDS.
