The Amazing Telephone

These days it’s hard to imagine life without our smartphones. But it was not so long ago that people had to phone a person’s house if they wanted to speak to them.

It was Alexander Graham Bell who invented the telephone. He used his invention successfully for the first time on 10th March 1876.

Only a year later, the first commercial* telephone service began in the US in 1877. When people wanted to talk to someone, they had to call an operator*. The operator had to know the names of all the users, so they could connect the caller with the person he or she wanted to talk to. Two years later, the number system was introduced and this made life a lot easier. In 1889, a bank in Hartford in USA got the first pay phone. People who weren’t rich enough to have a phone in their home could go to the bank and use the pay phone with coins.

In those days, phones came in two parts: the mouth piece and the ear piece. You held the ear piece to your ear and spoke into the fixed mouth piece. The ‘French’ phone, where the two parts were combined into a single handset*, was developed around 1904, but only became available commercially in 1927.

It was in that same year that the first transatlantic phone service, from New York to London, started. Calls were made using radio waves. Radio wave technology also helped in the development of the first mobile telephone service in 1946. But it was only in 1973 that the company Motorola came up with the very first phone you could hold in your hand.

Amazing people My hero is Martin Luther King. He was born in 1929. In King’s time, black and white people lived different lives in the USA. They went to different schools and sat in different seats on buses and trains. At work, white people made more money than black people. Martin Luther King wanted to do something about this. So he organised protests. The police often arrested him. But still he was able to make life better for black people in the USA. My hero is a Brazilian man called Chico Mendes. He was born in 1944. Many people say he saved the Amazon rainforest. How? Chico and his family all worked in these forests. Then one day, planners wanted to cut down the trees. They wanted to use the land for other things that would bring more money. Chico Mendes organised protests about it. Then someone killed him. After his death, many people became interested in saving the rainforests. They sent money to the people there to help them. Chico Mendes was a leader for everyone who wanted to save the environment.

Fight against city planners lost! Newbury is a town between two cities, London and Bristol, in the southeast of England.

They planned to build a new, bigger road around Newbury. But many people protested against it. They wanted to save their environment. They didn’t want to lose the green fields around Newbury. But in the end the planners won, and in 1998, the Newbury Bypass* opened. *bypass – Umfahrung

E4 Stand up for your rights

Malala Yousafzai Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12th, 1997. She comes from Pakistan and fights for the right

of education. Everybody should be able to go to school and be educated. Especially, girls

should have this right. Unfortunately, girls are not allowed to go to school in some countries.

Malala fights for better girls’ and women’s rights.

She was a victim of a gunshot attack1 in October 2012. At first she was treated in Pakistan, but

then she moved to England together with her family. She had two five-hour long operations

on February 2nd, 2013.

On July 12th, 2013 (when she was 16), she made a speech2 at the headquarters of the United

Nations where she said that everybody should be allowed to go to school. She also said that

human rights and peace are very important things.

In 2014 she won the Nobel Peace Prize. She is the youngest person who has ever won this

prize (with only 17!).

The BBC (a British TV programme) published writings about her life under the Taliban (in

Pakistan). So she became popular.

The Taliban say that they still want to kill Malala. In October 2013 a book about her life was

published. The book was banned3 in Pakistani private schools.

1 a gunshot attack = ein Schussangriff 2 to make a speech = eine Rede halten 3 to be banned = verboten werden

Mahatma Ghandi Mahatma Ghandi was born on October 2nd, 1869 in India and died on January 30th, 1948.

Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most famous freedom fighters. At that time India was ruled

by Great Britain, but India wanted to become an independent country4.

He taught Indians to fight for their rights without violence.

Gandhi studied law in London. After his studies, he accepted a job in South Africa. After he

moved there, he noticed that dark skinned people didn’t have the same rights as white people.

For as long as he stayed in South Africa, he told people to fight against the injustice.

When he went back to India, he led5 the fight for Indian independence6 from Great Britain,

but he never used any violence. He showed the Indians following strategies:

• not going to work

• sitting in the streets

• not eating anything

Ghandi was in prison several times for organizing these protests. When he was in prison he

didn’t eat anything. This scared the British people.

One of Gandhi's most successful protests was called the Salt March. When Britain put a tax7

on salt, Gandhi decided to walk 241 miles to the sea in Dandi to make his own salt.

Thousands of Indians joined him in his march.

Gandhi also fought for civil rights8 and liberties9 among Indian people.

On January 30th, 1948 he was shot by a terrorist.

4 an independent country = ein unabhängiger Staat 5 to lead sth. = etwas anführen/leiten 6 independence = Unabhängigkeit 7 to put a tax on sth. = etwas besteuern 8 civil rights = Bürgerrechte 9 liberties = Freiheiten

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15th, 1929 in Atlanta and died on April 4, 1968 in

Memphis. He was an American priest.

He worked hard to make people understand that everybody should be treated equally10. At

that time African-Americans living in the south of the US didn’t have the same rights as

white people. They weren’t allowed to go to the same schools, restaurants or theatres as

white people. He gave speeches11 to encourage African Americans to protest without the

need for violence. Martin Luther King showed them peaceful strategies of protest:

• sit-ins: African Americans went in restaurants and just sat there for a long time to

protest against the situation. Nobody served them any food or drinks and usually the

police would come and arrest them. But sit-ins became more and more popular and

many people took part in12 them. (which is a place where people go to protest and

don't leave until their demands are met).

• boycotts: African Americans should refuse to buy goods or services from people who

did not treat white people and black people the same.

In 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. organised the March on Washington and more than 200,000

black and white people joined in. The famous speech he gave there was called “I have a

dream”. In this speech he spoke about his hopes for the future, that black and white people

would have the same rights one day and would be able to live together peacefully.

In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize and a year later, African

Americans finally got the right to vote13.

Martin Luther King Jr. was shot in 1968.Today people in the US celebrate Martin Luther King

Day on the third Monday in January to remember his courageous14 fight.

10 to be treated equally = gleich behandelt werden 11 to give speeches = Reden halten 12 to take part in sth. = an etwas teilnehmen 13 the right to vote = das Wahlrecht 14 courageous = mutig
