Pre-reading A And lastly, drones can be fun Kids have always liked playing with toy planes and helicopters Drones are just another step forward in those fantasy flying games Drones are, of course, controlled by humans However, they're also partly autonomous and can ‘‘think for themselves’’ They can fly, hover, and even navigate without human control for a certain amount of time Drones are very useful in emergencies They can drop first aid packages of food or medicine to areas which are flooded or damaged by earthquakes or fires Drones can take amazing pictures and videos This might seem like a minor thing; after all, satellites can also take great aerial shots But drones can maneuver themselves into places which satellites can’t reach And they’re more agile and versatile than humans So, when it comes to tracking the movements of rare wild animals, for example, it means we can keep an eye on these animals and see what threats they face And then, we can try to find solutions to those problems and help protect endangered species Drones can fly for much longer than piloted planes or helicopters If, for example, we need to search for missing people in dangerous areas, drones can keep going when piloted vehicles would have stopped for more fuel This also means that we don’t have to endanger the lives of pilots in difficult situations Drones are UAVs, in other words Unmanned Aerial Vehicles They’re sometimes seen as a bad thing because they can be used in wars and can spy on people or on other countries That’s true, they can be used for those purposes, but there’s a positive side to drones, too They can anything and go anywhere which is too dull, dirty, or dangerous for humans Reading B PHOTOGRAPHY The agility of drones means that they can take aerial pictures or film places that have never been seen before 167 Do you play video games alone or with friends?

This concept applies to every single job Pointing out that there’s a problem doesn’t solve it Finding a solution and acting on it does This is something you can put into practice right now If you miss the school bus, your first reaction might be to feel annoyed with yourself for being late But that just prolongs the problem Overcome your annoyance quickly and start walking If you consider this as a metaphor, as if it’s an example for anything wrong in your life, you’ll see that ‘‘start walking’’ can be applied to many situations Open your mind to finding solutions This means finding something positive to say about things you disagree with or don’t like It’s much more effective to be constructive than to be critical Criticism makes people draw back and creates a negative atmosphere For example, if your friend has spent hours making you a birthday cake but has put salt in it instead of sugar, your first reaction might be to say, ‘‘This is disgusting – I can’t eat this!’’ In this case, your friend’s feelings will be hurt So, you could say, ‘‘Thank you for spending so long making this cake for me!
