III.Procedures:
Step 1. Revision
1. Check the homework exercises.
2. Error correction.
In 1864 a group of 85 countries set up an organization for sending telephone messages by satellite. Their first satellite was called Early Boy. Today there are more than 700 nations in this group and millions of satellites have been put into boxes. You can telephone somebody on the other side of the street with the help of telephone. Satellites are used less and less to take photos of people and to produce maps. Special cameras can show where different meals can be found. They can tell the difference between healthy people and people that are diseased. This is useful for doctors who work in deserts and in fields.
