reputation for being difficult* &nglish was first

the sounds of Anglo+
$aon -3/ 000000000 as they heard it. However, &nglish has a

of basic sounds -over 56/ than (atin. The alphabet was too
small, and so
combinations of letters were needed to -7/ 00000000 the
different sounds. Inevitably,
there were inconsistencies in the way that letters were
combined.
ith the 'orman invasion of &ngland, the &nglish language
was put at risk.
&nglish survived, but the spelling of many &nglish words
changed to follow 8rench
-96/ 0000000000, and many 8rench words were introduced into the
language. The
result was more irregularity.
hen the printing press was -99/ 0000000000 in the fifteenth
century, many early
printers of &nglish tets spoke other first languages.
They made little effort to respect
&nglish spelling. Although one of the short+term -91/
0000000000 of printing was to
produce a number of variant spellings, in the long term it
created fied spellings.
)eople became used to seeing words spelt in the same way. %ules
were -92/
0000000000, and dictionaries were put together which
printers and writers could
refer to. However, spoken &nglish was not fied and continued
to change slowly+
just as it still does now. (etters that were sounded in
the Anglo+$aon period, like the
:k; in :knife;, now became -95/ 00000000000. Also, the
pronunciation of vowels
then had little in common with how they sound now, but the way

Gesertification is the degradation of once+productive land into
unproductive or
poorly productive land. $ince the first great
urban+agricultural centers in
esopotamia nearly ,666 years ago, human activity has had a
destructive impact on
soil =uality, leading to gradual desertification in virtually
every area of the world.
It is a common misconception that desertification is caused by
droughts.
Although drought does make land more vulnerable, well+managed
land can survivedroughts and recover, even in arid regions. Another
mistaken belief is that the
process occurs only along the edges of deserts. In fact,
it may take place in any arid
or semiarid region, especially where poor land management is
practised. ost
vulnerable, however, are the transitional Fones between deserts
and ara8$# landNwherever human activity leads to land abuse in
these fragile marginal areas, soil
destruction is inevitable.
O9P Agriculture and overgraFing are the two major sources of
desertification. O1P
(arge+scale farming re=uires etensive irrigation, which
ultimately destroys lands by
depleting its nutrients and leaching minerals into the topsoil.
O2P !raFing is
especially destructive to land because , in addition to
depleting cover vegetation,
herds of graFing mammals also trample the fine organic particles
of the topsoil,
leading to soil '7a!.') and erosion. O5P It takes about

soil, and leaves finer underlying particles more vulnerable to
wind erosion. Topsoil
contains the earth;s greatest concentration of organic matter
and microorganisms, and
is where most of the earth;s land+based biological activity
occurs. ithout this

Though &dmund Halley was most famous because of his
achievements as an
astronomer, he was a scientist of diverse interests and great
skill. In addition tostudying the skies, Halley was also deeply
interested in eploring the unknown
depths of the oceans. Ene of his lesser+known accomplishments
that were =uite
remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated
eploration of the watery
depths.
The diving bell that Halley designed had a major advantage over
the diving bells
that were in use prior to his. &arlier diving bells could
only make use of the air
contained within the bell itself, so divers had to surface when
the air inside the bell
ra) $'. Halley;s bell was an improvement in that its design
allowed for anadditional supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of
divers to remain underwater for
several hours.
The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of
a bell that
measured three feet across the top and five feet across the
bottom and could hold
several divers comfortablyN it was open at the bottom so that
divers could swim in
and out a! .$$. The bell was built of wood, which was first
heavily tarred to make itwater repellent and was then covered with
a half+ton sheet of lead to make the bell
heavy enough to sink in water. The bell shape held air inside
for the divers to breatheas the bell sank to the bottom.
The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for the
divers to breathe, and
it was this improvement that made Halley;s bell superior to its
predecessors. In
