worksheet 1
narrator:  you will hear a woman called Camilla 
Doyle introducing a science fair. 
For questions 1–8, complete the 
sentences with a word or short 
phrase. 
 
Welcome to this annual innovation fair, 
where we exhibit developments from the 
world of science. I’m Camilla Doyle, from 
the organising committee, and I’ll take you 
through a few highlights, which I’m sure 
you’re eager to learn more about.
 
If you’ve attended many science fairs 
before, you may be expecting to see 
such things as model volcanoes, crystals 
in jars, or robots. And it has to be said 
that a fair few robots have come under 
my scrutiny in my role on the selection 
committee over the years, but I’m certain 
everything you’ll see today will give you 
cause for excitement. 
 
So, what will you see? I’ll start with an 
exhibit demonstrating an astounding feat 
by one young scientist, David Nelson, 
and his attempt to build a nuclear fusion 
reactor. One of the biggest challenges in 
physics is to create nuclear energy not by 
splitting atoms but fusing them together. 
David used the garage next to his house, 
rather than working in a science lab, to 
create a device that, though not self-
sustaining, produces fusion on a tiny scale. 
Let’s hope the neighbours don’t complain 
of finding nuclear waste in his back garden! 
 
If you’re interested in motor racing, you’ll 
be impressed by the achievements of a 
team who built a diesel-hybrid racing car 
that goes from nought to a hundred in just 
four seconds. They’ve developed a design 
that can also drive for 100 km using just 
4.5 litres of petrol. The prototype for the 
engine is being refined, and they say their 
enhanced version will soon be ready.
 
Many industries are interested in Joe 
Higson’s work. There are many types 
of chemicals, some more complex than 
others. Whichever they are, if used in the 
workplace, it’s crucial to keep people 
safe, and Joe’s machine helps with this. 
It sniffs out toxic substances in places 
they shouldn’t be, a potential asset to any 
industry with regard to improving safety. 
I should say that Joe plans to adapt it for 
other purposes too.
 
The work of Jenny Benson is likely to 
yield huge dividends for space travel. It’s
