Well Mr Bell
What is it that you sell?
Is it sugar or spice
Is it something sweet and nice?
O No! it is a mean machine.

One of the greatest inventions of the late 19th century and the early 20th century is definitely the car. In November 1885 the first test drivers of a petrol-engined vehicle took to the streets of Stuttgart. The two inventors who made this possible were Gottfried Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. In the 1880's Karl Benz moved from two-stroke to four-stroke design and publicly launched his three-wheeled motorcar on July 3, 1886.
If we see the name Stuttgart and Benz we think of one of the most favourite cars of all times. But how did the Mercedes Benz get his name?
In 1900 Wilhelm Maybach took over the company after Daimler's death. Shortly after this he received an order for a new car. The order was placed by a Czech diplomat by the name of Emile Jellinek, but there were two conditions. The one was that the prototype should be delivered before the end of 1900 and the other that the model should be named after his daughter Mercedes. Maybach agreed and I'm sure he did not know then how successful he would be. He soon became the owner of the biggest car company and it was not long before he and the other big car company Benz amalgamated under the name Benz AG — and Mercedes Benz was established.

Get into groups of five. Work together to “make” a machine of which each person is a separate part. Get one part moving with a sound, and then add the next part until the machine is made. Try starting and stopping it. (Built-in control: when the drum or clap sounds, the power is switched off at the mains.)
Each group must demonstrate its machine. Others comment on rhythms, sounds, and movement patterns. Guess what each machine is doing.

| SPEAKINGThe learner will be able to communicate confidently and effectively in spoken language in a wide range of situations. |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 2.2 interacts in additional language: |

| 2.2.2 takes part in role-plays of different situations involving different kinds of language (e.g. formal and informal telephone conversations).; |
| 2.4 begins to debate social and ethical issues: |
| 2.4.2 brings people into the discussion (e.g. ‘What do you think?’, ‘Don’t you?’); |
| 2.4.3 interrupts politely (e.g. ‘Excuse me …’); |
| 2.4.4 expresses opinions and supports them with reasons (e.g.’ I’d just like to say that … because …’); |
| 2.4.5 expresses agreement (e.g. ‘You’re right.’) and disagreement (e.g. ‘Yes, but …’). |

| 4.4 writes creatively: |
| 4.4.1 shows development in the ability to write stories, poems and play-scripts (e.g. by including dialogue in a story). |

| THINKING AND REASONINGThe learner is able to use language to think and reason, as well as to access, process and use information for learning. |
| We know this when the learner: |
