205 activities Unit 9, exercise 11b Unit 9, exercise 14c 1 Have you observed any differences between urban and rural areas in how children interact with the Hole in the Wall kiosks? 2 Are there elements of the Hole in the Wall project that make it uniquely Indian? Do you see a Hole in the Wall programme catching on in other countries? 3 Have you seen any differences in problem-solving behaviours and academic achievement between the kids who regularly use the Hole in the Wall computer kiosks and the kids who don’t? 4 Some argue that just letting kids click around the internet will not improve their performance in educational domains like reading and science. What do you say to that? 5 What has surprised you the most over these past few years as you’ve observed how children use the kiosks? Unit 10, exercise 32a Student B The AIRpod is small, holding just three passengers, with a single seat facing forwards for the driver and a bench facing backward for two more people. The car is designed to be exceptionally light, weighing in at 220 kg. Because the air tank and engine don’t take up much room, most of the car is devoted to passenger space. The car is a three-wheeler, and the driver uses a joystick to turn, rather than a conventional steering wheel.. In spite of its flimsy appearance, the car is actually very safe, as it has airbags outside the car which inflate when a crash is imminent. The Pod itself is made of strong composite materials that make a safe cell protecting the passengers. The technology of air-powered engines is relatively cheap and simple, so the car would probably cost about £3,500. Although air power means the car drives emission-free, some energy is required to compress air into its tank. But the cost of a tank refill would probably only be about £1!
