WARMING UP Give equivalents of these proverbs in Kazakh (Russian)

CONSOLIDATION. Talk about time when you were a child. What did you use to do?

PASSIVE VOICE

	Present	Past	Future
+	The letter is written.	The letter was written	The letter will be written
-	The letter is not written	The letter was not written	The letter will not be written
?	Is the letter written	Was the letter written	Will the letter be written
We use the passive voice if we do not know who does the action, or the doer is not important; the thing or person that receives the action is important. The receiver becomes the subject of the sentence. Eg: The houses are built every year. The book was written by Tom Fox. The message will be sent tomorrow.

Great Inventions

Our century is a century of developing informational connection. Faxes, TV, Internet, and Telephone became the most popular way of getting and sending information. One of the greatest inventions of the century is computer.

Nowadays computers can pay wages, reserve seats on planes, control sputniks, compose music. Also everybody knows the words Cd Rom, a means of storing information on a disk to be read by a computer, e-mail, which becomes one of the ways to exchange information, the Internet - a network that is a way to get information, to communicate with people, to find everything you need.

As the years go forward our life becomes faster, a lot of new things appear, our mind develops and it cannot stop. Many centuries ago people even couldn't imagine that we will be able to exchange information using telephone, fax, Internet as long as they couldn't think that there are a lot of planets except our earth and that people can fly their.

Nowadays we live surrounded by machines and other inventions. And with new inventions we become happier because nearly everything is making by machine not by ourselves. And from day to day appear more and more new things. And we don't think about how the first inventions were created.
