    1) Read the following passage about “TITANIC” and follow the instructions below.

    Titanic
    On April 10th 1912, the Titanic set sail on its
    first trip, from England to New
    York. At the
    time it was made, it was said to be
    the
    safest ship ever built. However, at
    11:40 p.m.
    on April 12th 1912, it hit an iceberg
    in the
    North Atlantic, and three hours
    later, at 2:20
    a.m., it sank. There were 2200
    people on
    board, but only 705 survived; 1503
    people
    died, most from freezing to death in
    the
    cold water.
    Why did the accident happen and
    why did so many people die?
    There is no one single reason; it
    was the result of many factors.
    The ship received warnings about icebergs ahead, but didn't slow down; instead it
    continued to sail at full speed.
    The lookout sailor didn't have any binoculars with him, so he wasn't able to see the
    iceberg
    until it was too close to miss.
    Although the ship carried 2200 passengers, there were only 20 lifeboats, enough for a
    maximum of 1200 people.
    Because the Titanic was thought to be unsinkable many passengers didn't take the
    danger seriously and didn't hurry to the lifeboats. Many of the lifeboats left only half full.
    The survivors were picked up by another ship, the Carpathia, which received the
    emergency radio message. Another ship in the area, however, which was actually closer
    to the Titanic than the Carpathia, didn't hear the emergency call because the radio
    operator
    had gone to bed.

    How could the disaster have been prevented?
