About（①）

Today, computers are around us and many of us use them. Thanks to computers, we can do many things. We write
stories and do difficult calculations. We can translate foreign languages, draw pictures, listen to music, and store various
kinds of data. On the internet, we read news and articles to get a lot of knowledge, get the information we need, buy
something, send e-mail, make restaurant reservations, and play games. Actually, computers make our lives better. How
have computers evolved and how will they evolve in the future?
About（②）

It is said that the world’s first computer was built in the United States in 1946. This computer could only do
calculations, and the calculations were not so fast. It was as big as a large room and it weighed 30 tons. In 1958, a big
invention changed the history of computers. An American, Jack Kilby, created the world’s first microchip. The microchip
was a very small device that could store lots of information. By using the microchips as part of a computer, he madecomputers smaller. However, they were still very large. The computers at that time were only used in universities andfacilities to research. In the 1970s, computers became even smaller and cheaper. It was as large as a TV on a desk. Sosome people began to use computers at home. But they were different from today’s computers. They could only create
programs and do calculations. In the 1980s, a lot of computer games were made. A lot of people bought computers andenjoyed playing them. As a result, computers became more popular than before. Some types of computers became sosmall like notebooks that they were easy to carry. People used these kinds of computers not only at their companies butalso at home. In the 1990s, the internet became popular all over the world. Thanks to it, computers became more popularin the world but they were still expensive.
About（③）

Today, computers continue to evolve. They are getting smaller and smaller. Microchips are also getting smaller.
We can say microchips are a kind of computer because they can do many things like computers. Let’s look at someexamples of new technology. In Japan, when people start to have a dog or a cat as a pet, they must put a microchip into
the body of their pet. This law was made in 2022. There are two good points. First, even if pets with a microchip lose
their way somewhere, they can return home soon. Thanks to the information in the microchip, we can know who has thepet. We can easily find where the pet lives. So we can contact the person who has the pet. Actually, when a big
earthquake happened in 2011, a lot of cats and dogs could not return home. This microchip can solve this kind of problem.
Second, the number of people who abandon their pets will decrease. It is said that a lot of people abandon their pets
because they can’t keep them at home. Some abandoned pets injure people. This has been a serious problem.
Microchips can solve this problem, too. We can easily find people who have abandoned their pets. So it is difficult forpeople to abandon their pets.
About（④）

New attempts have started in some countries. In Sweden, about 3,000 people have a very small microchip in theirarms now. This type of microchip makes their lives better. When they buy something and pay, they don’t have to use
money. When they just show their arm to a sensor, they can finish paying. In some areas, they can take trains at stations
with this microchip but the use is not common yet. Some of them also don’t have to carry the key with them to open andclose the door of their office. They can do it by just showing their arm to a sensor. They can use a computer without apassword at their office. Even if they forget it, it is no problem. Like these, microchips make various things possible.
It is said that there will be more things people can do with them in the future.

About（⑤）

The latest invention is a contact lens with microchips. When we connect contact lenses to a smartphone, we can see
a lot of information through the lenses. For example, they give us information about the place we want to visit and show
us how to get there. The lenses can read the information about our body from our eyes. Then we can get information
about the condition of our body every day. This lens has not become a product yet but we may see it in the near future.
Computers have been evolving rapidly in a short time. With computers, we will do more things we can’t even imagine inthe future.

Kana:

Summer vacation ended. Did you enjoy summer vacation?
No. I practiced soccer and did my homework every day. Summer vacation is about 40 days long,
but I couldn’t do anything special.
You were very busy. Japanese students have a lot of homework to do and club activities during summervacation. I’m surprised to know that. In my country, the U.K., schools start in September and end next
July. We have about 6 weeks of summer vacation. Schools are closed and we have no homework and noschool.
Schools in the U.K. and Japan start in the different season. I didn’t know that. What dostudents in the U.K. do during summer vacation?
We travel abroad or join summer events and so on.
Sounds good. I hear that university students have enough time to do their favorite things in Japan.
When I become a university student, I want to try many things I can’t do now.
Then, you’ll have more time if you take a gap year. You can do things you've never experienced.
A gap year… I don’t know. What is it?
Students go abroad or do volunteer work before they start their lives at university. A gap year iscommon in my country.
Right. A gap year originally started in the U.K. in the 1960s. It is time to discover yourself or try to findwhat to study at university. You can think what kind of job you choose in the future.
Some university students can’t prepare for their new lives well. These students sometimes stop
studying at universities. Thanks to a gap year, the students can start their new lives well.
That’s true. However, in those days, people thought students who took a gap year couldn’t start new
lives well because of some trouble. So people saw only bad points of a gap year. But now, a gap year is so
helpful that universities encourage students to take a gap year. According to a survey, the students whotook a gap year made efforts to learn at universities.
I see. How many days do the students take for a gap year?
They can decide the number of days freely. For example, they can take a gap year for a year, 6 months or3 months.
It’s good for the students to make their own plans. How can they take a gap year?
They just send a letter to their universities.
Everyone can take a gap year easily. Then I want to know what kind of volunteer work the students
do during a gap year.
For example, they teach in schools, work on protecting the environment.
I taught in school when I took a gap year.
Really? Tell us more about your experience.
I taught English at an elementary school in South Africa and stayed there for 6 months. It was agreat time for me because I learned many things in a foreign country. I didn’t have much money
and sometimes had some trouble. However, people there supported me. I was happy to get overchallenges.
What did you learn from this experience?
It taught me how to live and made me independent from my parents. People I met there are importantpart of my life. Moreover, I also found what to do at university. After a gap year, I studied very hard tobe a teacher.
A gap year is really attractive. But it sounds expensive. I want to know how much money the students
need.

Haruta:Mr. Baker:

It is said that they need about 500 thousand yen. Some students can’t take a gap year because they needa lot of money. So only about 10 percent of university students take a gap year.
Really? I’m sorry to hear that. How do the students earn so much money?
During a gap year, most of them look for a part-time job. I also had a part-time job. I worked asa tour guide. I enjoyed the job because I visited famous places and talked with tourists.
I see. Are there other ways to earn money for a gap year?
I know some of them. Some universities give a scholarship to the students. The students who wanta scholarship make a presentation and only good students receive a scholarship.
Sounds nice. Universities also support their students.
That’s right. I’ll tell you another way to earn money. Some students take a gap year for one year. Theywork during the first some months of the gap year. After they earn enough money, they begin theiractivities. They don’t have to work while they are working on the activities.
They can choose how to earn money for a gap year. Today I learned a lot about a gap year. I am
interested in it.
I hear some Japanese universities have a gap year system, too.
Really? I also want to know a gap year in Japan.
OK. Let’s talk more about a gap year next week.
