                                EXERCISE 5 Shorten  the  sentences  to  the  rate  of  useful
                                              information:

                            1.  Thousands  of  years  ago,  man  discovered  that  when  amber  is
                            rubbed with fur or cloth it will attract small light objects.
                            2.  Any  material  that  will  allow  electricity  to  flow  through  it  is
                            called a conductor.
                            3. A dynamo is a machine that makes electricity when it is made to
                            rotate, or turn, at high speed.
                            4. Around the poles of a magnet is an area called magnetic field in
                            which the magnet exerts its attraction.
                            5. The amount of electricity that flows called current, is measured
                            in units called amps.
                            6. The current and the voltage  multiplied together determine the
                            power, the rate at which the electrical energy is used up by being
                            converted to other forms of energy.
                            7. Conductor wires, or leads, in any piece of electrical apparatus or
                            installation must not be allowed to touch each other, or any other
                            metal part.
                            8. There are very many different kinds of switches ranging from a
                            micro-switch, which is very sensitive, to the large and complicated
                            ones that are used for high voltages and are sometimes known as
                            circuit breakers.
                            9. Some complicated pieces of electrical apparatus, for example radio
                            and television receivers do not use alternating but direct current.
