11 Read the text. What four nationalities are mentioned in the text? (2 marks) _________________________________________

Smoke signals are one of the oldest forms of communication. In Ancient China, soldiers on the Great Wall warned each other about approaching danger by sending smoke signals from the towers along the wall. In this way, they could transmit a message to someone as far away as 750 kilometres in just a few hours. In around 150 BC, a Greek historian called Polybius invented a complex system of alphabetical smoke signals. He converted the Greek alphabet into number signals that people could represent by holding a set of two torches. His idea, known as the ‘Polybius Square’, has since developed into more complicated modern cryptography, a method of written communication that people use to keep messages secret. The Native Americans also communicated with smoke signals. Each tribe had its own system. A signaller started a fire on a high place using grass. This caused smoke to rise upwards. If the message came from halfway up a hill, this meant all was well, but from the top of the hill it meant danger. Many years ago, the Aborigines of Australia also sent smoke signals to spread the news that they were arriving in a new place.

Writing 13 Write an email to a friend who is coming to visit you at the weekend. Use the prompts to help you. Write about 125 words. (10 marks) Paragraph 1 Start by saying hello and talking about what you have done recently. Paragraph 2 Mention your friend’s visit and give information about interesting places to see and things to do. Paragraph 3

In some situations, people still use smoke signals even today to transmit news, signal danger, or invite people to a certain place. In Rome, the College of Cardinals uses smoke signals to indicate the selection of a new Pope. When the American Boy Scouts go on camping trips, they use three quick puffs of smoke to indicate when someone is in danger. And when people have problems at sea, they use a special object called a flare to send smoke into the air to ask other ships for help. Smoke signals have saved many people over the years.
