Listeners Panic During The War of the Worlds Oct 31st, 1938 V a f S m Thousands leave their homes to escape 'aliens from Mars'! Hysteria gripped radio listeners last night when a dramatisation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds made them believe an alien invasion had started in New York. The broadcast was made by Orson Welles' The Mercury Theatre on the Air over station WABC and the Columbia Broadcasting System's coast-to- coast network, from 8 to 9 o'clock. At least twenty adults required medical treatment for shock and hysteria. Families rushed out of their houses with wet handkerchiefs and towels over their faces to escape from what they believed was to be a gas raid. Throughout New York families left their homes, some to flee to near-by parks. Thousands of persons called the police and there were traffic jams all over the state, The radio play was presented as a real radio program and some listeners missed the introduction, which clearly stated that it was a work of fiction. анализировать текст
Hello from England!
You wanted to know about my school. Well, I go to primary school. I like going to school. There is fun atmosphere in my school and all my class mates are very nice and friendly. My school is not very big but my classroom is comfortable and great. There is a zoo there!We've got a lot of subjects at school. I think it is easy to study in my school. My favourite subjects are Art, English,Maths and Music. I'm good at reading but I am not good at spelling. I hate spelling tests. And I don't like doing my home work. Best of all I like break time. Do you like going to school?Is your school big or small?What are your favourite subjects?Is there a computer class in your school?
