<i><b>ssSSSShhh</b></i><b>… IT'S A SECRET!</b>


Throughout history and in every civilisation, people have felt the need to communicate in secret. In war time, military
secrets need to be transferred securely to commanders without being understood by the enemy. During revolutions, those
plotting to overthrow the establishment need to ensure their communications remain <b>undisclosed. The history of secret</b>
communication is long and fascinating. World events have changed on many occasions because of secret messages
-secrets that were kept and -secrets that were not!


There are two ways to communicate in secret - either you conceal the fact that you are sending a message at all,
(‘steganography’) or you obscure the meaning of your message rather than its actual existence ('cryptology'),
steganography is very old. In 440 BC,the Greek ruler, Histiaeus, sent a message to a fellow plotter in a revolt by shaving
off the hair of his most loyal slave, tattooing a message on his head, allowing the slave’s hair to grow back, then sending
him to deliver the message.The slave passed through enemy lines easily since he seemed to be carrying no
communication. Another very old form of steganography is invisible ink. Inks made of simple organic materials such as
milk orlemon juice, which turn dark when held over a flame, were used as early as the first century AD for very serious


communications. During the Second World War, both sides raced to create new secret inks and to find developers for the
enemy'sinks, although in the end this form of steganography became impractical due to the large amount of
communications involved.


Although steganography is a very clever way to communicate in secret, it does have an Achilles heel. If the messenger
does not do a particularly good job concealing their message and some one finds it, all its secrets will be immediately
revealed. This weakness soon led to the idea of hiding the actual meaning of messages, so that they could not be read,
even if they were discovered. The result was the development of cryptology.


Cryptology hides the meaning of messages by using codes. Codes are essentially secret languages. <i>Julius Caesar</i>
invented one. He replaced every letter in a word by the letter three places away from it in the alphabet. A was D, B was
E, and soon. Later on, any code that used a system of letter replacement such as this was referred to as a ‘Caesarcode’.
Of course, it doesn’t take much brain power to figure out most of these codes! Today, code makers devise practically
unbreakable codes using highly sophisticated mathematics and computer power.


Are cryptology and steganography used now? Well, you may be surprised to learn that secret communication is apart of
everyday life! For example, every time you use your credit card to buy something from a company over the <i>Internet,</i>
cryptology is employed. Very complicated codes turn your credit card number into a pile of gibberish that only the
retailer can decipher, not anyone else, steganography is also thriving in the digital world.


Secret messages can easily be hidden in e-mail, audio and image files. This is because most digital documents contain
useless areas of data, so some of their information can be altered without obvious effect.This is of concern to
governments as they fear that criminals may be concealing messages in files sent over the <i>Internet. One thing is certain </i>
-secret communication is still just as much a part of life today as it was millennia ago!

Did you know that there are about seven thousand languages in the world? In view of this, many people believe that all
school pupils should be made to learn at least one foreign language. Others, however, argue that there are possible
disadvantages to this ...(15).... There are many reasons why forcing students to learn a language is a good idea. To start

other countries. In addition, being able to communicate with people in their own language is extremely rewarding while
travelling. Not only does it avoid confusion, but also shows respect and helps in understanding other cultures. <i>Lastly,</i>
studies have shown that learning languages can improve pupils’ critical ...(17)..., and therefore help them in other
subjects such as Maths.


On the other hand, some believe that there are some disadvantages to making learning a foreign language ...(18).... To
start with, it is argued that many pupils should improve their reading and writing skills in their own language first instead
of spending time learning another language that they may never use. Not all jobs, after all, require knowledge of a
foreign language. In addition, some pupils may be put off learning a language for life if they do not enjoy learning the
one taught at school.


Taking everything into ...(19)..., I believe that while there are some disadvantages to being made to learn a language,
the advantages for both individuals and society can not be ignored."


After all. as the Italian film director, Federico Fellini, said. “A different language is a different vision of life".

<i><b>ssSSSShhh</b></i><b>… IT'S A SECRET!</b>


Throughout history and in every civilisation, people have felt the need to communicate in secret. In war time, military
secrets need to be transferred securely to commanders without being understood by the enemy. During revolutions, those
plotting to overthrow the establishment need to ensure their communications remain <b>undisclosed. The history of secret</b>
communication is long and fascinating. World events have changed on many occasions because of secret messages
-secrets that were kept and -secrets that were not!


There are two ways to communicate in secret - either you conceal the fact that you are sending a message at all,
(‘steganography’) or you obscure the meaning of your message rather than its actual existence ('cryptology'),
steganography is very old. In 440 BC,the Greek ruler, Histiaeus, sent a message to a fellow plotter in a revolt by shaving
off the hair of his most loyal slave, tattooing a message on his head, allowing the slave’s hair to grow back, then sending
him to deliver the message.The slave passed through enemy lines easily since he seemed to be carrying no


communication. Another very old form of steganography is invisible ink. Inks made of simple organic materials such as
milk orlemon juice, which turn dark when held over a flame, were used as early as the first century AD for very serious
communications. During the Second World War, both sides raced to create new secret inks and to find developers for the
enemy'sinks, although in the end this form of steganography became impractical due to the large amount of
communications involved.


Although steganography is a very clever way to communicate in secret, it does have an Achilles heel. If the messenger
does not do a particularly good job concealing their message and some one finds it, all its secrets will be immediately
revealed. This weakness soon led to the idea of hiding the actual meaning of messages, so that they could not be read,
even if they were discovered. The result was the development of cryptology.


Cryptology hides the meaning of messages by using codes. Codes are essentially secret languages. <i>Julius Caesar</i>
invented one. He replaced every letter in a word by the letter three places away from it in the alphabet. A was D, B was
E, and soon. Later on, any code that used a system of letter replacement such as this was referred to as a ‘Caesarcode’.
Of course, it doesn’t take much brain power to figure out most of these codes! Today, code makers devise practically
unbreakable codes using highly sophisticated mathematics and computer power.


Are cryptology and steganography used now? Well, you may be surprised to learn that secret communication is apart of
everyday life! For example, every time you use your credit card to buy something from a company over the <i>Internet,</i>
cryptology is employed. Very complicated codes turn your credit card number into a pile of gibberish that only the
retailer can decipher, not anyone else, steganography is also thriving in the digital world.

governments as they fear that criminals may be concealing messages in files sent over the <i>Internet. One thing is certain </i>
-secret communication is still just as much a part of life today as it was millennia ago!

<b>to each of the following questions.</b>


Most people have recognized the importance of entertainment to their both physical and mental well-being. There is a
variety of entertainment for people to choose, which depends on their interests, their ages, their jobs as well as many
other conditions.


People who work indoors and spend most of their time sitting and doing sedentary office work can add physical
activities to their lives by doing sports during their leisure time, such as playing a ball game, going camping, hiking or
fishing. On the other hand, people whose jobs involve a lot of physical activities may prefer to spend their free time
doing quiet, relaxing activities, such as reading books or magazines or watching TV. Some people find that collecting
stamps, postcards, badges, model cars, planes or ships, bottles, or antiques are relaxing hobbies.


Entertainment is organized in many schools and institutions. They may offer many extracurricular activities including
hobby groups, sports activities, and choirs. Other institutions such as retirem ent homes and hospitals also offer activities
such as clubs and meetings for playing games or simply organized periods for conversation.


Most people like socializing with friends for dinner or a drink after a hard day at work. For many young people, having
a regular night out a week is a normal part of their free time, whether it is joining friends for a drink in a pub, dining out
in a restaurant, watching a film, playing video games or dancing the night away at a club.


Some people do leisure activities that also have a long-term goal. In some cases, people do a leisure activity that they
hope to turn into a full-time activity. Many people also study part-time in evening university or college courses, both for
the love of learning to help their career prospects and for relaxing.

<i><b>ssSSSShhh</b></i><b>… IT'S A SECRET!</b>


Throughout history and in every civilisation, people have felt the need to communicate in secret. In war time, military
secrets need to be transferred securely to commanders without being understood by the enemy. During revolutions, those
plotting to overthrow the establishment need to ensure their communications remain <b>undisclosed. The history of secret</b>
communication is long and fascinating. World events have changed on many occasions because of secret messages
-secrets that were kept and -secrets that were not!



There are two ways to communicate in secret - either you conceal the fact that you are sending a message at all,
(‘steganography’) or you obscure the meaning of your message rather than its actual existence ('cryptology'),
steganography is very old. In 440 BC,the Greek ruler, Histiaeus, sent a message to a fellow plotter in a revolt by shaving
off the hair of his most loyal slave, tattooing a message on his head, allowing the slave’s hair to grow back, then sending
him to deliver the message.The slave passed through enemy lines easily since he seemed to be carrying no
communication. Another very old form of steganography is invisible ink. Inks made of simple organic materials such as
milk orlemon juice, which turn dark when held over a flame, were used as early as the first century AD for very serious
communications. During the Second World War, both sides raced to create new secret inks and to find developers for the
enemy'sinks, although in the end this form of steganography became impractical due to the large amount of
communications involved.


Although steganography is a very clever way to communicate in secret, it does have an Achilles heel. If the messenger
does not do a particularly good job concealing their message and some one finds it, all its secrets will be immediately
revealed. This weakness soon led to the idea of hiding the actual meaning of messages, so that they could not be read,
even if they were discovered. The result was the development of cryptology.


Cryptology hides the meaning of messages by using codes. Codes are essentially secret languages. <i>Julius Caesar</i>
invented one. He replaced every letter in a word by the letter three places away from it in the alphabet. A was D, B was
E, and soon. Later on, any code that used a system of letter replacement such as this was referred to as a ‘Caesarcode’.
Of course, it doesn’t take much brain power to figure out most of these codes! Today, code makers devise practically
unbreakable codes using highly sophisticated mathematics and computer power.


Are cryptology and steganography used now? Well, you may be surprised to learn that secret communication is apart of
everyday life! For example, every time you use your credit card to buy something from a company over the <i>Internet,</i>
cryptology is employed. Very complicated codes turn your credit card number into a pile of gibberish that only the
retailer can decipher, not anyone else, steganography is also thriving in the digital world.


Secret messages can easily be hidden in e-mail, audio and image files. This is because most digital documents contain
useless areas of data, so some of their information can be altered without obvious effect.This is of concern to
governments as they fear that criminals may be concealing messages in files sent over the <i>Internet. One thing is certain </i>


-secret communication is still just as much a part of life today as it was millennia ago!

him to deliver the message.The slave passed through enemy lines easily since he seemed to be carrying no
communication. Another very old form of steganography is invisible ink. Inks made of simple organic materials such as
milk orlemon juice, which turn dark when held over a flame, were used as early as the first century AD for very serious
communications. During the Second World War, both sides raced to create new secret inks and to find developers for the
enemy'sinks, although in the end this form of steganography became impractical due to the large amount of
communications involved.


Although steganography is a very clever way to communicate in secret, it does have an Achilles heel. If the messenger
does not do a particularly good job concealing their message and some one finds it, all its secrets will be immediately
revealed. This weakness soon led to the idea of hiding the actual meaning of messages, so that they could not be read,
even if they were discovered. The result was the development of cryptology.


Cryptology hides the meaning of messages by using codes. Codes are essentially secret languages. <i>Julius Caesar</i>


invented one. He replaced every letter in a word by the letter three places away from it in the alphabet. A was D, B was
E, and soon. Later on, any code that used a system of letter replacement such as this was referred to as a ‘Caesarcode’.
Of course, it doesn’t take much brain power to figure out most of these codes! Today, code makers devise practically
unbreakable codes using highly sophisticated mathematics and computer power.


Are cryptology and steganography used now? Well, you may be surprised to learn that secret communication is apart of
everyday life! For example, every time you use your credit card to buy something from a company over the <i>Internet,</i>
cryptology is employed. Very complicated codes turn your credit card number into a pile of gibberish that only the
retailer can decipher, not anyone else, steganography is also thriving in the digital world.

governments as they fear that criminals may be concealing messages in files sent over the <i>Internet. One thing is certain </i>
-secret communication is still just as much a part of life today as it was millennia ago!

Most people have recognized the importance of entertainment to their both physical and mental well-being. There is a
variety of entertainment for people to choose, which depends on their interests, their ages, their jobs as well as many


other conditions.


People who work indoors and spend most of their time sitting and doing sedentary office work can add physical
activities to their lives by doing sports during their leisure time, such as playing a ball game, going camping, hiking or
fishing. On the other hand, people whose jobs involve a lot of physical activities may prefer to spend their free time
doing quiet, relaxing activities, such as reading books or magazines or watching TV. Some people find that collecting
stamps, postcards, badges, model cars, planes or ships, bottles, or antiques are relaxing hobbies.


Entertainment is organized in many schools and institutions. They may offer many extracurricular activities including
hobby groups, sports activities, and choirs. Other institutions such as retirem ent homes and hospitals also offer activities
such as clubs and meetings for playing games or simply organized periods for conversation.


Most people like socializing with friends for dinner or a drink after a hard day at work. For many young people, having
a regular night out a week is a normal part of their free time, whether it is joining friends for a drink in a pub, dining out
in a restaurant, watching a film, playing video games or dancing the night away at a club.


Some people do leisure activities that also have a long-term goal. In some cases, people do a leisure activity that they
