Welcome to Mr Aslanov’s cefr lessons

 
Q4. 
The term ‘bird brain’ has long been a common means of expressing doubts about a person’s 
intelligence. In reality, birds may actually be a great deal more intelligent than humans have given them 
credit for. Now scientists understand that birds actually use a different part of their brain for intelligence. 
Observations of different species of birds, both in the wild and in captivity, have shown a great deal of 
evidence of high levels of avian intelligence. 
 
Q5. 
Today cyber cafes are part of the cultural scene in the same way that cinemas and supermarkets are. 
Home computers are no good if you are out and about or happen to be on holiday somewhere. The cyber 
cafe is the obvious place to go if you want to keep in touch with friends and family. These caf_es are also 
popular with foreign students studying abroad. These students feel it’s important to keep in touch with 
everyone at home and email is cheaper than the telephone. 
 
Q6. 
When computers and the Internet entered the world of education, it has truly experienced a profound 
revolution. The information found on books remains static but the available information on the Internet is 
updated all the time. Plus, children are very much drawn to electronic gadgets and are learning the medium 
at a pretty fast pace. The use of computers in addition to books as a learning resource definitely boosts 
learning. 
Q7. 
Ellen MacArthur became front page news when, in 2001, she came second in the Vendee Globe 
round-the-world yacht race. Up until that point most people had never heard of her, even though at one 
stage during the race it looked as if she might win. Ellen MacArthur spent three months at sea on her own 
and succeeded where many others, far older and more experienced, had failed.
