The message should not be more than 50 words. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Select one of our 10 plate colour options and a design from one of our 12 design patterns.

The change I was looking for ended up being the PITC! I am very happy to be working here as the Customer Service Manager, I am even able to use some of my previous research skills.

I\u2019ve been working for the PITC for the past 3 years. Currently, I am the Booking Supervisor. I completed a Diploma in Hospitality Management six months ago and this is my first job since graduating! I am delighted to work with Paradise, my role is to ensure a smooth booking process for all our visitors. I usually work in the city office but sometimes I need to travel to the island and monitor booking procedures \u2013 this is the part of my job I like the best! <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Judith Clemons<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was a school teacher before joining PITC. I became interested in a job on the island after staying here for one of my holidays.\u00a0 The natural beauty of the island so impressed me that I decided I had to get a job here! I look after visitor accommodation services on the island. I welcome suggestions from visitors in regards to accommodation services.\u00a0 Part of my job is also to monitor food services. If you have any comment on the food and drinks provided as a part of your stay, do not hesitate to contact me. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Shane Moore<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I am one of the tour guides.

My job and my background are a bit of a mismatch &#8211; my background is sports. I was an athlete from my early 20\u2019s to mid 30\u2019s. Once I got married I retired from sports and started a new career at PITC, where I have been working for around 5 years.\u00a0 My wife and I both love travelling. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Lesley Albertson<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I used to work in the music industry before joining hospitality.\u00a0 I was the store manager for a CD\/DVD company before joining PITC as a tour guide.

The days I do not work for Paradise, I work for a Music Recording studio owned by a local businessman. I enjoy humour and meeting people.

German inventor Karl Drais first assembled pushbikes in 1818. They had two wheels, both in-line, and were propelled by the rider pushing along the ground with his feet to rotate the wheels. The front wheel had a handlebar attached that the rider gripped to control the direction. They were speedier than walking and were considered a fast mode of transportation at the time. Unlike today, these first generation bicycles were owned only by the wealthy. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 In 1821 an English inventor, Louis Gompertz, added a hand-driven ratchet mechanism, to the front of the bicycle wheel that permitted motion in one direction and created more speed out of every up and down push of the feet. Another significant change to the bicycle occurred in 1839 when Scottish blacksmith Kirkpatrick MacMillan invented a special part for bicycles known as a mechanical crank. The crank was a kind of lever that allowed more force and speed to both front and rear wheels.\u00a0 Six years later in 1845, another English inventor, R. W. Thompson, developed a special kind of pneumatic (air-containing) tyre. When wrapped around the iron-made wheels of the bike, this tyre made the ride much smoother. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>A revolutionary change took place in 1850 when Frenchmen Pierre Michaux refined the design of bicycles in such a way that no longer required the rider to push down toward the ground in order to rotate the wheels. He redesigned it by making the front wheel exceptionally large and then placed a seat on top of it.\u00a0 Michaux added pedals to the large front wheel and kept the diminutive rear wheel to help with balance. This addition meant that rather than the operator having to push along the ground as though walking or running, the bicycle could cover longer distances much faster. Up to that point, the design of Michaux\u2019s bicycle most closely resembled the modern bicycles of today.\u00a0 However, these primitive bicycles, known as Boneshakers or penny-farthings, were extremely difficult to ride due to their high-seats and the need for expert balancing skills. In 1885, John Kemp Starley, a British inventor and industrialist, solved most of the problems of the Boneshakers by introducing a chain drive \u2013 a device that connected the pedals with the rear wheel.\u00a0 He also redesigned the frame of the bicycle and reduced the front wheel diameter ensuring more stability and enabling people with only average balancing skills to ride them. Starley\u2019s Rover Safety Bicycle was warmly welcomed by the masses and was exported to many countries. Many historians define Starley\u2019s Rover as the first modern bicycle. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>D.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The next big step forward for the bicycle was the development of an efficient braking mechanism. Prior to the advent of brakes, riders had to use their feet to reduce their speed. However, in 1898 hand-operated cable-pull brakes attached to the handlebars were first introduced by a German inventor, Achim Conrad. During the beginning of 19th-century derailleur gears were invented. They contained a chain and multiple sprockets\u00a0<strong><sup>(1)<\/sup>\u00a0<\/strong>that could create more speed out of every rotation of the pedals. Gradually, the technology used in making and setting the chain improved. Chains made of stronger metal with small sprockets were introduced as part of the bicycle wheel, which made it easier for the rider to pedal without losing speed. Another important change was in the weight of bicycles. The configuration of two same-sized wheels with rubber tyres and the body of the bicycle made of hollow rods rather than solid metal, considerably reduced the weight and enabled riders to have more control. These design changes also helped to reduce the risk of injury caused by a heavy bicycle. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>E.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>It was not until the 1930s that bicycles became a popular form of transportation for the working class. This was due to dramatic improvements in the production process of bicycles, which, in turn, led to a fall in their price. The supply of bicycles increased in the market as a lot of manufacturing businesses and individual entrepreneurs started making and selling bicycles in large quantities. The widespread use of the bicycle during that time inspired several manufacturers like Mead, Sears Roebuck, and Montgomery Ward to design bicycles for children who were a new and unexplored segment of the bicycle user market. The design of these bicycles incorporated unique design elements such as bent handlebars for easier manoeuvrability, carriers above the rear wheel for school bags and even a pair of small safety wheels on both sides of the rear wheel for children learning to ride for the first time. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>F.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Considered by many to be the most significant innovation in the history of the bicycle after the invention of the Boneshaker almost 100 years earlier, running gear was invented by engineer Glenn Wright in the 1950s. This running gear featured quick-release wheels, derailleur gears and cable-operated brakes.\u00a0 During the 1960s, manufacturers started using aluminium alloy in wheel rims, handlebars and seat posts that made the bicycles even lighter and also more visually appealing. These aluminium alloys helped prevent the body of the bicycles from rusting which also made them last longer. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>G.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Since the 1980&#8217;s the technological improvements in bicycle manufacturing have reached a new peak. New materials such as titanium and carbon fibre have become widespread. The separate brake and gear systems in bicycles have become one, combined system. New accessories such as front and back lights, drink carriages, tyre pumps and non-slip handlebar covers have become standard parts of most bicycles. In the late 1980s, mountain bikes were formally introduced to the market.\u00a0 These bikes became the focus of a new and adventurous sport, where bikers raced through rugged terrain. For reasons of being environmentally friendly, user-friendly and widely available throughout the world, bicycles will continue to grow in popularity well into the future. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>1) a device like a wheel with one or more rows of tooth-like parts sticking out which keep a chain moving on a bicycle<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 28\u201333<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Look at the following statements\u00a0<strong>28-33<\/strong>\u00a0and the list of people below\u00a0<strong>A-H<\/strong>.
