TASK 1
TRUE / FALSE: LOOK AT THE ARTICLE AND GUESS WHETHER THE SENTENCES ARE TRUE (T) OR
FALSE (F).
A hi-tech company in the U.K. has launched a text messaging service that automatically destroys emails
40 seconds after people open them. This should be popular with anyone who wants secrets to
stay secret. Subscribers have to download an application called StealthText to their mobile phone to
use the service. The software’s developer Staellium UK hopes its product will appeal to both
business people who deal with sensitive information and love cheats. A representative said the
company wants to give e-mail senders more control over the messages they send instead of trusting
recipients to delete them.
The technology looks like something from a 007 movie. Staellium CEO Carole Barnum said the new
service has “massive benefits for people from all walks of life”. She also said: “Ultimately, no one will
have to worry about their messages or pictures ending up in the wrong hands ever again.”
Staellium’s website suggests soccer superstar David Beckham might need SteathText. His friend
Rebecca Loos suspiciously failed to delete his embarrassing mails last year. StealthText messages are
not totally erased, but stay on a special computer. However, the recipient has no further access to
them after 40 seconds.
a. A company has invented an e-mail that destroys mobile phones. T/F
b. New “secret mail” will disappear 40 seconds after being opened. T/F
c. People have to download an application to use the software. T/F
d. The developer wants people to have more control over their mails. T/F
e. The technology has been used in some James Bond films. T/F
f. The company said the technology will only help upper-class people . T/F
g. No one will have to worry about mails ending up in the wrong hands. T/F

TASK 2
READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER AND CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR THE QUESTIONS:
To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18th birthday. I’d
booked the table for eight o’clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a
problem. The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I
ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes,
the waiter informed us that there was no more fish pie. He apologised and suggested ordering
something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends – a
salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we’d finished, we decided to order some
desserts. The waiter said that, unfortunately, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us
to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was reserved by another group at
nine thirty and we would have to leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very disappointed. It spoilt my birthday. Nobody told us when
we arrived that there was a time limit. It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that we’ll go to
your restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary
