Once, when I was teaching English to children in Cambridge, I died while eating
my dinner. The children were eleven to fourteen years old and there were about one
hundred and twenty of them in the large hall of a boarding school. We were all eating ice
cream when I made strange noises and fell forward onto my plate.
This was not some unusual way of teaching the children about crime, but a murder
mystery game. It was a bit like a play in the theatre, but the whole school was involved.
All of the teachers were either victims or suspects and all of the children were detectives
trying to find out who the murderer was. The children knew the situation was serious as
many teachers were ‘dying’, so they were all very excited!
Lying next to my ice cream, I loved being a ‘victim’. However, I had to remember
not to smile as the teachers dragged me across the floor to get rid of my ‘dead body’ so
the students knew I was really ‘dead’. This was just the start of my murder mystery
career!
Soon after that, one of my friends bought a murder mystery game and invited me
and several other friends to a dinner party. We all had to dress up as different characters.
The story was that one of our close friends had been murdered and we were all suspects.
We had to tell the other characters important information and question people about the
information they gave. Then, at the end of the evening, we tried to work out who had
done it. I wasn’t very good at the police investigation part, but I loved playing a part and
the excitement of knowing that one of the people in the room was a ‘murderer’.
Now I run my own company – Murder Mystery Occasions. I organise murder
mystery parties in restaurants or historic buildings. Usually I hire a private room so that
the ‘murder’ doesn’t upset other guests. Castles are particularly popular with my guests
because they’re so atmospheric, so I use them if they’re available. I write the scripts and

Website: http://bigtreeland.vn/ 5
Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Tiếng Anh Lớp 6 CLC NC

employ actors to be some of the key characters. People pay to come along and join in
with the fun while having a wonderful dinner. The murder usually happens somewhere
between the starter and the main course and there is always a lot of excitement when the
police arrive to take fingerprints and interview key suspects. People tell me that’s the best
part. Then, at the end of the evening, there is a prize for the table that guesses who the
murderer is, but everybody who comes along seems to enjoy the drama. So, you could
say I’ve made a good, honest career out of murder!

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He
lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it
began, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies
grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the
development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some
training as a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first
publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government
printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful
entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in his famous Poor
Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies.
In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life,
he shows the same quiet common sense.

Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Tiếng Anh Lớp 6 CLC NC

He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with
electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also
interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of
projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a
philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service.
In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies. Through this experience he began
to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he
went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions,
especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American
states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the
French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional
congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly
remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.
1. What is a good description for this text?
A. An autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. B. The life of Benjamin Franklin
C. The works of Benjamin Franklin. D. Franklin and American Independence.
2. When was Benjamin Franklin born?
A. 1806 B. 1794 C. 1717 D. 1706
3. Which of these happened first?
A. Franklin trains as a printer. B. Franklin runs away to Philadelphia.
C. The American colonies rebel. D. Franklin starts his first publication.
4. What was Poor Richard’s Almanak about?
A. Franklin’s reputation. B. How to succeed in business.
C. How to do government printing. D. The text does not say.
5. In which countries did Franklin live?
A. England and France. B. Philadelphia and England.
C. London and America. D. England, America and France.

1. The Telharmonium
The Telharmonium was the world's first electronic musical instrument. It was designed
by an American, Thaddeus Cahill, in 1897. Three models of the instrument were built;
the first weighed about 7,000 kg, and the other two weighed nearly 5 200,000 kg! Music
from the instrument was broadcast to people's homes using another new invention: the
telephone. For the first time, people could stay at home and listen on their telephones to
live music from another part of the country. (The radio had not been invented.) People
loved these concerts, but there were 10 problems. Some telephone users who were not
listening to the concert were interrupted by loud music half way through their
conversation! By 1914, the world was no longer interested in the Telharmonium. After
Cahill's death in 1934, his brother kept one of the three models, but in 1962 it was
destroyed. No recordings 15 of the music were kept, so the Telharmonium and its unique
sound have disappeared forever.
2. The Rejuvenator
In the early part of the 20th century, there was a lot of interest in the power of electricity
to cure medical conditions. A device called the Rejuvenator was invented by 20 British
scientist Otto Overbeck in 1925. It was used in the home to treat all kinds of medical
problems, including deafness and baldness, and became very popular. It was advertised in
newspapers and members of the public were invited to watch live demonstrations in
theatres. The users placed electrodes on 25 any part of their body and a small electric
current was passed through it. It was unclear exactly how the machine worked, but

Website: http://bigtreeland.vn/ 39
Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Tiếng Anh Lớp 6 CLC NC

hundreds were sold all around the world and Overbeck became rich. In the 1950s, it was
still possible to buy new parts for these machines, but today they are only seen in
museums.
3. The Writing Ball
The Writing Ball was invented in 1865 by Rasmus Malling- Hansen from Denmark. It
was a machine for typing onto paper. Malling-Hansen spent a long time working on the
design. For example, he made sure all the keys were placed in the best positions for
typing quickly. The machine even used electricity 35 to make the movement faster. There
was one problem, however: you could not see the paper as you were typing.
Nevertheless, the Writing Ball was sold all over Europe and was very successful.
However, each model was made by hand. Soon, other machines became more popular
because they were made in 40 factories and were cheaper. A new keyboard was
developed with the keys arranged differently. This arrangement is now used on phones
and computer keyboards all over the world, even though it was quicker to type using the
Writing Ball. The once-popular Writing Ball was forgotten.
4. The Antikythera Mechanism
In 1901, a ship was discovered at the bottom of the sea near the Greek island of
Antikythera. On the ship was an ancient machine. It had been made about 1,900 years
earlier, in 2 BC. For many years after its discovery, nobody understood exactly what the
machine was for. But in the 1970s, scientists used X-rays 50 to find out its secrets.
Amazingly, they found that the machine was an ancient computer. It had been designed to
predict the movements of the sun, the moon and the planets. It did this using more than
thirty hand-made metal wheels of different sizes. A study of the mechanism in 2006 was
led by Professor Michael 55 Edmunds from Cardiff University. He described the device
as 'just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind' and 'more valuable than the Mona Lisa'.
Reconstructions have been made and the device works perfectly.

1. Hippo-Roller
Many women and children in Africa spend between three and nine hours a day carrying
water to their homes. They use 20-litre plastic buckets, which they carry on their heads.
The buckets are very heavy and often cause back and neck injuries. So engineers Pettie
Petzer and Johan Jonker designed a 'rolling wheel' which can carry ninety litres of water
and is much easier to move. 33,000 'Hippo-Rollers' have been made and delivered to
remote villages in Africa. The results are good: women have more time to look after their
families, the children have more time at school, and there are fewer injuries.
2. LifeStraw
There are 780 million people in the world who don't have clean safe drinking water. This
fact led the Swiss company Vestergaard to invent a special kind of straw that allows
people to drink dirty water without getting ill. The 1s LifeStraw is a long thin tube that
cleans the water as it passes through into somebody's mouth. LifeStraw is very light and
can clean up to 1,000 litres of water before you need to replace it. LifeStraw was used to
help people after the Haiti earthquake, and floods in Pakistan and Thailand.
3. AidPod
When Simon Berry was travelling in Zambia, he noticed that he could buy Coca-Cola in
the remotest villages. But in these same villages the people had no medicines and,
because of that, one in five children were dying before their fifth birthday. He had an
idea. 'Why don't they bring medicines 2s when they deliver the Coca-Cola?' So he
invented the AidPod, a triangular packet of medicines that fits between the bottles in a
crate of Coca-Cola. Berry has experimented with a number of designs for his AidPod and
is testing his ideas in Zambia. If his plan works, he hopes to do the same thing in other
African countries, and save thousands of lives.

Three museums
Eureka!
Eureka! is a complete hands-on experience, which means that visitors can actually pick
up any object in the museum. It’s a great way for young visitors to learn about the world,
the body, how things work and move. And when you buy an entry ticket, it allows you to
come back as many times as you want for a whole year for no extra cost. As Eureka! is
right next to Halifax train station, it’s very easy to get to from all over the country.
Museum of Museums
Every time you visit the Museum of Museums, you’ll be able to see something different.
And that’s because the things you see there are actually lent by other museums around the
country. The museum always has lots of different vehicles, from ice-cream vans and old

Website: http://bigtreeland.vn/ 45
Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Tiếng Anh Lớp 6 CLC NC

motorbikes to the different kinds of public transport people used to get to work many
years ago. You can find out about all this and lots more.
Cinema Museum
Ronald Grant, who opened the Cinema Museum in the 1960s, travelled round the country
and bought things from cinemas which were closing down. This included old film posters
and wooden cinema seating. At the museum, you can now see these and much more,
including the uniforms that cinema staff once had to wear.
Please let us know by phone or email if you’d like to come. We’ll be happy to see you,
but we need to arrange a guide, as it’s only possible to visit the museum on an organised
tour.
